"In response to the March 22 letter, 'Don’t allow U.S. leaders to disarm our citizens,' Stephen Halbrook is not a Second Amendment 'scholar,' but a spokesman for the [NRA's] point of view."
"All of his writings argue against any kind of regulation of firearms. His argument that the Jews, who couldn’t buy guns, were defenseless because of that is faulty. The roundup of Jews who were sent to concentration camps was committed by the Waffen SS, the toughest arm of a tough army."
"... How could Jews, if they had a pistol or rifle, defend against battle-tested men, Panzer tanks, Stuka dive bombers, etc? The idea is ridiculous and insulting to the Jewish people." ...

| Not only are the historically literate aware of the Jews defending themselves in isolated incidences during WWII, but even today our govt is somewhat more civilized due to the fact that there's a 10's of millions of peaceful gun owners. |

| Better to have 10's of millions of peaceful gun owners coexisting with a civil govt than to be disarmed and as helpless as the Jews during WWII. |

| Obviously, the writer of this letter is not a scholar or student of history or he would know that over 50 million people were exterminated during the 20th century after their government passed gun control and eliminated their ability to defend themselves. And that included the Jews under the Nazi government. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm . . . is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege. [Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878)] |
