Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: The claims about gun control and the Holocaust are bogus [View all]Dog Gone at Penigma
(433 posts)55. No silence; I answered you
Bottom line, both pro-gun groups and pro-Jewish groups - and the group you mentioned is not in fact specifically Jewish despite the name - repudiate them.
They are factually inaccurate, their claims are wrong, and they have none of the credibility (despite some problems) that the ADL has to speak for Jews and the concerns of genocide.
There are NO credible scholars who support them.
This is not pot or kettle; only one side has soot on their reputation, and only one side is cracked here - yours.
As noted ONLY the far fringie right of the pro-gunners, not all pro-gunners, try to float this bogus, unfounded argument.
It is not only liberals who repudiate it, and not only those who favor gun control.
You lose.
