It took the combination of Stalin’s willingness to spend millions of lives along with immense material support from the United States to stop the German armies.
From all I have read about the Nazi rise to power, I have never come across anything about them dis-arming civilian gun-owners. Through propaganda, training their youth, subversion and Gestapo, the simply got their people into lock-step. Indeed, the arms manufacturers did very well for the next twelve years.
If a crazy gunman comes into my work or school, you bet I’m gonna rush him. This is a different time. We have sickos that think the best way to die is to kill as many people as possible. Not negotiate or reason.So yes, we need to teach every kid and person that if this happens, man-up or woman-up or and attack him.Like my grandfather would say, Don’t ever look for a fight, but if one comes to you, fight like your life depended on it because it probably does.

“What was the reason the Nazi took the guns away from their people?”.So why do you think the Nazis took other Nazis’ guns?

No one even knows if Carson’s story even took place, let alone whether his account of it was true.
In every non-medical area he ventures into, he doesn’t look like a rocket scientist — or any other kind.
