scumbag french

Everyone in France was required to register their guns at the nearest town hall. Where was the first place the Nazis went to? If you guessed the town halls you would be right! Shortly after that they put out a notice for everyone to bring their guns to the town hall, Pierre, it says here you have a rifle, a shot gun and a pistol. Pierre responds, here is the shotgun and the pistol, I lost the rifle when I was hunting. BLAM! Pierre lost his brains on a nearby wall, Next! Francois, it says here you have 2 shotguns and 2 pistols, which Francois promptly handed over. In days the nation of France was completely disarmed. The biggest struggle for the French Resistance was to smuggle in arms.

I had an old French friend who told me the horror of watching his uncle shot and his father grovelling before the SS officer who relished the executions.

it was the Nazi's, take a guess

Even if there were, it'd be entirely cosmetic; the Nazis would pretty much torch your village down quite happily whether anyone in it had guns or not. The whole premise is patently ridiculous on its face.

Gun confiscation may have hindered the resistance but it wouldn’t have caused the French military collapse.

That and the fact that they're entire defense line against Germany was utterly useless even if it had been finished and maintained

That's not true at all.

Such an eloquent rebuttal with reams of undeniable proof to back up your claim! I applaud your work!

Professional historians have written entire libraries on this exact subject alone, and none of it has been addressed or deconstructed in this meme, so I don't know what you'd expect me to say.

Reams of what? Footage of tanks rolling in, planes bombing away?

Aren't you the guy that after I thoroughly explained to you TWICE on TWO different memes what BHI did in the Covington HS incident, made a meme in total denial of what anyone could see on BHI's own self incriminating video which they were so proud of? Not a book about something nearly a century ago, but video of a night ago.

But there's still yummy baked goods, right?

:P

Cool. :)

Yeah, pistols and rifles are so useful against Stuka bombers and panzers. The Germans would have gone running at the site of French farmer waving his hunting rifle at a division of the Wehrmacht.

More fun having pistols and rifles for sniper attacks than threatening a Nazi with a loaf of bread. Guerrilla wars create enough havoc until the big boys can get there. Viet Nam is a classic example- Cong harassed until political forces lost it.

Vietnam is a terrible example, 1.3 million people died before the Americans eventually lost the will to fight. Are you saying the right to have guns means Americans dying each year are an acceptable casualty of such a gun policy?

You neglect the fact that law abiding people use guns to prevent violent crimes against themselves and others keeping people from dying (about a million times a year). The media is so lopsided that they never report stories of "the good guy with a gun" stopping violent attacks- would scuttle their motives to convince people that taking a means of defense away from law abiding people would make us all safer from those who aren't law abiding. There are raw FBI data you could analyze, studies by Lott and others that show from statistics and reality that criminals kill people, not guns. It wasn't long ago that we took violent people out of society, "locked them up and threw away the key" so to speak, but now we have to show more compassion to the murderer than the murderer showed his or her victims. Oh, lethal injection might hurt, then we just can't use the death penalty authorized by a court of law, however, the death penalty imposed by the killer not authorized by law still stands!
Regarding WWII, there was an early recognition of what was happening to the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and handicapped people (to the tune of 10 million victims), but it was politically expedient to ignore it and dismiss the reports of it happening.
And the guerilla war in Viet Nam was executed in order to hold off an overwhelming US military, the communist factions behind the tactic had no qualms about the collateral damage to 1.3 million people to accomplish their objectives. Talk to any Nam vet who saw combat, and you'll know a lot of our 58,000 dead died because our politicians wanted to fight a polite war. If they would have been allowed to fight to win, the casualty count would have been drastically lower. As it was, according to Soviet documents recovered when the USSR fell, all our men did was stop the Domino Theory from becoming reality, no small accomplishment.

I think you need to ask yourself, why the UK, Japan, Germany, Australia, Italy, South Korea and all those other developed countries have minuscule gun murders each year, where in the US the numbers are huge. What are they doing that is right and the US is doing that contributes to gun deaths? (Those countries in terms of mass shootings are rarer than hen teeth but in the US it is a regular occurrence)

As for Vietnam you have to be joking. Napalm, Agent Orange, more bombs drop on the country than in the whole of WWII and examples such as the May Lai massacre do not point towards a polite war. I'd hate to see America fight a non polite war in that case..... (For Vietnam the biggest mistake was Tour of Duty, rotating your troops out that had just gained valuable experience and replacing them with more 'draft picks')

AN honest question, how old are you?

and yet armed partisans help win the war. Maybe the nazis would have never been that big had the jews been aloud to shoot back

Yes and the French resistance was on its way to defeating the Germans, so the Allied invasion on D Day was actually just a waste of time..... as was the huge military machine of the Red Army. No one someone who lacks intelligence made it as President, America truly does worship at the idol of ignorance.

you twist words like some sort of daffy taffy machine. No the partisans were not going to beat the germans but they helped. They killed thousands of Nazis, isnt that a good thing? Answer this one question, I will simplify it as a yes or no answer 4 u. If you could go back in time and give the 7 million Jewish victims of the holocaust an uzi each, would you?

It wouldn't help the Jews, they weren't in one place like some sort of coordinated resistance and the Nazis never told them they were going to kill them. Looking back we know the plan of the Final Solution, but the Jews didn't until it was too late.

even if they were going to die, if 7 million of them had guns, they coulda taken out a few hundred thousand nazis. I know many Jewish families and a had a Jewish aunt that would adamantly concur with this
