This German didn't learn much about German history between the 1930s and 1945.

Yeah...for any German to say that the German government will protect the citizens.....is someone who didn't pay enough attention in history class......this is about a German who learned about our 2nd Amendment and it's primary purpose...giving us a last line of defense against a violent, out of control government...

TTAG Commentator to German Journo: Don't Like Our Gun Rights? Go Home - The Truth About Guns

“When I was a student, I spent a semester in Washington, D.C.,” German journalist Volker Ter Haseborg [above] writes in a miamiherald.com editorial entitled Your gun violence scares me. “One day, my class met a representative of the National Rifle Association. This man didn’t talk about guns. He talked about the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment. The man said that he saw his role as a preserver of amendments. He just wanted to save the Constitution. But . . .


the Constitution is from 1789. America has become a modern state with a militant democracy. Why is it so hard to change what is such an obvious deficit? Americans abolished slavery, why is it so hard when it comes to guns? Does bearing a gun really represent the modern American way of life?

Yes. Yes it does. An armed American is the ultimate realization of personal sovereignty enshrined in our Constitution – a concept unfamiliar to Germans. Seriously. Check THIS out.

In the darkest chapter of German history, Hitler’s Nazis armed citizens against the declared state enemies of the Third Reich: Among them were Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals. The cruelty of the second world war influences the Germans until today. As one example, weapon laws were more and more sharpened.

Today, Germany has one of the strictest weapon laws in the world. It is almost impossible for a citizen to get a firearm. Citizens know that the state authority will protect them. Therefore they don’t see any need to take action by themselves.

How screwed-up is that? Ter Haseborg ignores the Nazis’ pre-Holocaust disarmament of ALL of the their enemies – German veterans and “dissidents” as well as Jews – and puts the blame for the Nazi atrocities on the socialists’ arming themselves. “Citizens know that the state authority will protect them?” Those who don’t learn from history are [useful] idiots, paving the way for darkness.


Hmmmmm....what did he say....?

Citizens know that the state authority will protect them. Therefore they don’t see any need to take action by themselves.

Yeah....tell me again how that worked out in the 1930s and 40s............

How true! Unfortunately those far removed from a historical time within their countries history, never understand its full implication on the future.

It is surprising to me that with their history and the sites dedicated to not forgetting was done to innocent men, women and children that any German could ever trust their government again.....

Unfortunately, for most not directly impacted by it, it is surreal, rather than real.

This is why I never engage bed wetters on the pretense of "public safety" or their faux outrage over highly publicized shootings.

It's all bullshit.

There have been mass stabbing, mass shootings, gas attacks, beheadings, hangings, quarterings, bombings and vehicle rundowns all over the highly restricted world that have more regulations than a moonbat can read, and none of those laws prevented shit. None of their police state tactics or infrastructure prevent it.

The bed wetters aren't interested in public safety or preventing crime, their agenda is disarmament. They can not cull the herd if we're armed. That's the bottom line.
