Gun Control and the Holocaust

How the left lost on gun control  - Daily News

Richard Cohen and other Liberals pooh-pooh the idea that Gun Rights might have saved Jewish Lives in Germany during the Nazi era.

My Grade 8 American History teacher though, made that very same point to us circa 1965. My take mirrors his. Storm Troopers could have been intimidated. Meyer Lansky succeeded with just a few dozen Jewish Thugs with Baseball Bats against the pro-Nazi American Bund in upstate New York.

It's difficult to be certain. But I'm willing to bet that it couldn't have been any worse, and may have been a lot better.

Best Regards,
