There is NO happy medium. The people must always be stronger than the government. Compromise means submission.
we need nukes

Yeah that is the thing they didn't think they would got go a death camp.
Also the Nazis wouldn't have been kind on your family if you go out in a blaze of glory.
And the most important thing. The guns never existed in the first place.
Before the Nazis Gun control has been very strong.
Let's be serious here if the government wanted to kill you today they would poison your water or for a large subset of the war room posters just shut your internet down

The point is guns aren't gonna stop someone killing youThey can't. Who would farm their food and take care of the infrastructure? Who would take care of power, water, who would make the medicine? Who would do electrical work, plumbing, sewage? These guys will not help the government if the government just killed their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, friends, etc..

The leftists keep saying that gun control is safe thing. How safe was it for the Jews who were forbidden from owning guns just one year before the holocaust began ?
Not if we use situations like the government poisoning your water, no. But in individual situations where someone breaks into your home or tries to rob you, just the sight of you having a gun can be the difference in life and death.The point is guns aren't gonna stop someone killing you
It's hard to compare Japan with the United States, since their populations and demographics are completely different. Japan is a mostly homogenized nation with extremely strict immigration laws, the place is mostly Japanese-born citizens. The United States clearly has a more open immigration policy and much different demographics, different ethnicity, cultures, religions, and more people in general. Aswell as more land and different socio-cultural atmospheres, from one side of the nation to the other. You add more variables, it always becomes more complicated.
I still don't think any outright ban on guns is the answer. Infact, I think it's very dangerous, in a nation where criminals won't adhere to the same regulations as the rest of the responsible populace. We can't let one horrible incident change the rules for the rest of us. That's just legislating out of fear.
Ice T says it best. You can have my gun *after* everyone else gives up theirs.
Post Hoc Fallacy:
Explanation
The post hoc fallacy is committed when it is assumed that because one thing occurred after another, it must have occurred as a result of it. Mere temporal succession, however, does not entail causal succession. Just because one thing follows another does not mean that it was caused by it
Example
(1) Most people who are read the last rites die shortly afterwards.
Therefore:
(2) Priests are going around killing people with magic words!

Nice one.
I take the bate. The NSDAP was the pro gun party they relaxed gun laws compared to the previous government.
They did not take guns away from the Jews because they didn't have any guns in the first place the same as the rest of Germany.
Also if you know anything about the 3rd Reich. You would know that Jews weren't considered citizens.
Also how could 800.000 Jew with guns defend themselves against the 3rd Reich when all of Europe weren't able to?
yes yes yes we've heard it. while there is some truth to this, lets not pretend its the whole or even most of the truth. there are other "melting pot" nations that have DRASTICALLY lower violent crime rates than the US.
i think people should be able to own guns, as well.
though
i truly hate this argument about "good guys" and "law abiding citizens" should have guns anywhere they want etc (maybe that was not your point). sung hui cho, the vegas shooter, and many others were "good guys" on paper, until they killed dozens of people. there are many good guys who get drunk at the bar, and decide to shoot people in the parking lot.
i think there is a real problem with the amount of guns in the US. it makes them amazingly easy for just about anyone to get. whats the solution to that? idk. i also think there is something to be said for the old greek quote "the blade itself, can inspire men to violence." i think there are situations where having a gun makes you feel more of an alpha. more ballsy. it causes a murder where without one, you may not have even fought in any manner.
They've worked pretty well for me - and I've never even shot anybody.The point is guns aren't gonna stop someone killing you
My family is Croatian, my father was born there and moved to the United States when he was 9 in the mid sixties. Dido and Baba my grandparents during WWII ended up leaving Kukljica (The town my father and family is from) on the Island of Uglian upon hearing rumors that the Nazi's were going to end up on the Island. They ended up fleeing to mainland Croatia and lived in the mountain areas with friends and some other family members. Dido became a Partizan and fought a guerrilla campaign against the Nazi's.Yeah that is the thing they didn't think they would got go a death camp.
