I think you'll find it is spelled "you're".

the nazi's actually relaxed gun control. and what about the american indian? they were basically hunted down and exterminated by the gun, african americans were held in bondage by the gun. america is the murder and gun death capital of the world, we export more guns and death to the rest of the world than anyone. so basically joe the plumber, and the rest of these modern day nazi's are glorifying the mass carnage created by america's gun culture.

This bullshit has been promoted by the gun lobby on many occasions.

Contrary to what Joe and other gun advocates say, it is absurd to claim that gun control = dictatorship. How does he explain the fact that many DEMOCRACIES ie Australia, Britain and Japan adopt gun control by popular consensus and have much lower gun homicide levels than the US?

The gun lobby never learn.

"the holocaust DID NOT happen because of gun control"

--You're really stupid because we've been talking about that, and that's not what he said. So I don't understand why you keep bringing it up.

"trying to link gun control"

--As I wrote before, his point was to link govt oppression & genocide against citizens to gun control, using the Nazis actions as one example, there are many others.

"no scholar, academic, historian"

--That's because they're all Liberals who are against the 2nd Amdt. Try some Conservative scholars & historians for a change.

"there would be no cars"

--Just goes to prove once again that Liberals are incapable of understanding or using analogies.

"he's a very uneducated, uninformed dumbass"

--Liberal Talking Point #4: Conservatives are uneducated, ignorant, inbred hillbillies who don't deserve to contribute to social/political discussions. This is getting old, guys.

"there were no "gun confiscations" in Nazi Germany, in fact, they relaxed a lot of gun control regulations"

--For native, Aryan Germans. It was against the law for Jews to own firearms. Search for "Beyond Babylon: Gun Confiscation in Nazi Germany" and get a clue.
