I wonder if some Jews that were in Germany pre ww2 said the same thing about Germany. I think alot of people put waaaayyy to much faith in their govt. Our forefathers new govt could go corupt and that is why they had the forthought to let its citizens have the right to bear arms.
there were very few Jews in Germany. Only about .5%; the Germans had to go find them.
Nevertheless, the rules for imposing martial law are as follows:
1. disarm the populace
2. impose martial law
Liberals do not see gun control as a means to hasten genocide. But their thought process is the same. (bring it haters, I'll explain).
Modern liberals seek to tell people what they should do. Increased taxes, more social programs, gun control, etc. These are at the heart of today's liberal agenda. All of these can be cloaked in the rhetoric of "we want to solve problems".
Social programs help the poor and the old, gun control prevents violence, etc.
While well intentioned, liberals add a component to these that undermine them: government imposition. For example, social programs ARE noble, charities are a wonderful expression of man's best assets. FORCING people to contribute is offensive to the idea of individual rights and our rationality.
Gun control is a noble thing - guns can kill people. Individuals who choose to use guns should be made aware of the deadly power of a gun and know how to use it. Efforts should be made to keep gunds out of the hands of criminals. But at NO POINT should the rights of law abiding citizens to own a gun ever be infringed or restricted. Education, not legislation, is the answer to gun issues.
When you use the government to impose social programs, there is no charity. There is only compliance under pain of imprisonment. The property of individuals is taken from them and given to someone else by law under pain of jail. There is no redresss for grievances.
When guns are taken by the government, all means of redress are finally and forever removed. The ultimate outcome of the modern liberal stance is not the solution of social issues, but the imprisonment of man to an all powerful state against which man has no recourse or redress.
Genocide follows.
Liberalism is a philosophy that hates people and is destructive. I cannot understand why anyone adheres to it.
