Not just Nazi Germany, but also Communist Russia, Communist China, Cambodia, Rwanda, Bangladesh and the rest.

It's okay though, this stuff will never happen again because we are living in the 21st century. We have social media and hashtags so this stuff can't happen as easily.

That was what someone told me in a discussion about the importance of the Second Amendment. Somehow I doubt the imperial enforcers would wait for him to make a post on social media before executing him with an injection of a bullet and a bayonet...

Ha.... "We have hashtags"

And of course the Internet will never go down, especially during martial law :)

Also they think the internet can help? The government could shut off your internet in minutes or less if they want to

Poor saps, too ignorant for their own good and too stubborn to change.

You are right. The government could shut down the internet immediately if they wanted to.
I feel like I told them that and their reply was "well your guns isn't going to do much against nukes and chemical weapons".
Of course try telling them that such a government would not want to resort to such measures because there would be no one and nothing left to rule over. The world and the people would be destroyed. Tyrants want power and control not global annihilation. And they would probably want a bunch of spineless saps to bend over and beg them to put the shackles on without even putting up a fight. So if said government wins the fight in the mind that way, they have already won. Because the people would not want to fight physically.
This is why thoughts like wanting to do away with the Second Amendment is dangerous. Because the people believing that are already bending over to be raped by oppression. They are already eager and willing to hand over their freedoms.

Like who? Attilla the hun?

What men with power just want to watch the world burn? Atilla is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, and even he was after loot

Hitler, Khan to name a few... specially Genghis Khan, he annihilated tribes by the numbers, and Hitler was doing the very same. But the context here is not about power or annihilation is about people being oppressed by their own government when the people are unarmed.

Hitler didn't want to watch the world burn.. he wanted to recreate it for those he considered worthy. His conquests were about land, resources, and annihilation of opposing ideology. Total shitbag, but definitely no Joker. Genghis Khan created the largest empire in human history after rising from slavery.. MAYBE he wanted to see the world burn, but he certainly gained a lot of power and wealth while doing it - he's probably the single most powerful man in human history

Can we stick to the context of the meme rather than arguing about what those conquerors had in mind to do if they had succeded? The whole world annihilation was just a distraction to move away from the context of the meme, initiated by someone who has no knowledge about what the meme is about but wants to say something to look smart.

Was about to say something like to this but you beat me to it, but yeah this is is what he was after based on the history books and articles I've read

You are correct. Some fanatic groups do want to bring about the destruction of the world. Although I think those people would never be able to contain their ambitions if they was given the chance to rise to power. Still, imagine someone like that slipping into politics of some powerful country.

I saw a video a few years ago on YouTube about "Death by a Neutron Star". It was a what if video of Earth being destroyed by a Neutron Star. It would be about a hundred years or so before it happened and governments was trying to build a huge space ship to colonize another planet. Naturally there was groups who was simply trying to sabotage and disrupt the construction to ensure dooms day. It was an interesting video.

Fanatics, another reason to have the Second Amendment.

Your meme is very true. Europeans are scum in my mind. Weak ass people that let their liberty get thrown in the toilet in the name of political correctness. Stab your leaders you wousies.

You are right. Many people have reached a point that they would be silent to rape and assault than to be labeled a racist. And a lot of Europe's culture is being erased.
My sister said that people in England believe Winston Churchill to be a myth. That some don't believe he was real. That is what happens when one's culture is washed down to allow in all the others you have been oppressing. (The higher ups know how to incite a guilt trip.) Your culture is overwritten and forgotten.
Pitiful.

There is some hope. Last I heard Poland is resisting all this PC nonsense. Perhaps they will be the ones to ride in and save the day again.

It's kind of funny(while being depressingly sad at the same time) but eastern Europe seems to be far more interested in preserving their culture than the west is. Tables have turned over the last few years.

"It's kind of funny [...] but eastern Europe seems to be far more interested in preserving their culture than the west is."

If your talking about East European Politician's use of fear of the people to gain power and strip it of any sort Democracy or Freedoms, then yes you are absolutely right.

"You are right. Many people have reached a point that they would be silent to **pe and assault than to be labeled a racist"

Where in the bloody hell do you live for that to be true? The Balkans?

"And a lot of Europe's culture is being erased"

There is so much wrong with this statement that even Propaganda Minister Goebbels would call you out on that. Where do I even start with this?

"There is some hope. Last I heard Poland is resisting all this PC nonsense. Perhaps they will be the ones to ride in and save the day again."

Are you talking about the constitutional 'reforms' the Polish government implemented that stripped the Independence of the Judiciary branch of Government? Cause that just basically mean the polish governments has control absolute over their judges and can force them to do whatever they want. That shits so shady Article 7 was almost triggered by the EU Parliament for violating fundamental EU beliefs, that being the independence of the Judiciary branch. Sadly that action was Vetoed by Hungary, who themselves are going own a Dictatorial path.

Good, because that's exactly what is happening.

"Weak ass people that let their liberty get thrown in the toilet in the name of political correctness."

First off, can you name me one instance of us weak and silly Europeans discarding our Liberty for whatever the hell 'Political Correctness' is? Beside that, whatever are we doing that makes us so weak? Showing compassion? Kindness? Taking matters seriously and not alienating ourselves from the world community?

"Stab your leaders you wousies."

If your talking about the Yellow Vest protests in France then, yes the French indeed are stabbing their leader in the back.

Got guns?

Yes you can get guns in Europe, but the regulation is different in every country. For Example to own a rifle in Sweden you have to go through 7 month weapons training. While in Germany private owned rifles are illegal, though light arms are not. So yes we've got guns, but we don't give them out like candy

And the U.K.? And France? If you ain't got an AR you ain't shit.

Why in the name of bloody God, do you expect me to know the regulations for owning Guns in every country in the important part of Europe? All I know about those two is that I don't know shit about their weapons regulations. Still, how does us not having Automatic Weapons have anything to do with anything?

That's why the government will never know how many guns I have. Hell, I don't even know how many guns I have.

It's not an accident that schools are failing our children. They want them confused and angry.

Because slavery and colonization were just "mistakes."

Yes. They were the results of ignorance at the time. And you actually just made my point. You are so focused an those "evils" that you hate the U.S. and do not recognize the good in it.
Hating the U.S. leads many U.S. citizens prepared to surrender to whatever P.C. nonsense is popular, even when it is demonstrably damaging to the U.S. "because the U.S. is evil, it deserves to suffer."

Do not forget Cuba, Castro brothers killed thousands.

Indeed. People in Florida think that since Castro has died, that it will stop. His brother has taken over for Castro but says he is going to retire. There is a new "president" coming in 2021, that will introduce internet to Cuba, but it's most likely to be censored. It's really sad what people don't realize is happening in other countries. We most likely don't know half of the things happening right now.

I do know. I do have family still living in Cuba. And that is what I try to warn people here. But there is a huge wave of people trying really hard to turn US into another Cuba. Fidel Castto enticed the Cuban population with dreams about healthcare for everyone and free education, and to turn in their weapons. Sounds familiar? That is what got Fidel Castro the trust of the people. But people here don't know, they think they have it bad but in reality they are just a bunch of spoiled ignorants that have been having it too good for a long period of time.

Unfortunately for most of them the brainwashing is deep, and continue arguing or go to other posts to continue spreading their socialist agenda. I'm more concern with the people they are trying to win over.

My Buddy Will escaped from Cuba with his family circa 1977 ish.He said that he remembers seeing a Head with no body laying on the beach,the man was killed by castro thugs. He said it was the most beautiful place in hell.

We're beyond learning history … next generation will learn first hand.

Hitler expanded gun rights for the German people.

You are partially correct.

After its defeat in World War I, and agreeing to the surrender terms laid out in the Treaty of Versailles, the German legislature in 1919 passed a law that effectively banned all private firearm possession, leading the government to confiscate guns already in circulation.

In 1938, Hitler signed a law allowing citizens to own a gun if they got a three-year permit. Members of the NAZI party were exempt from any restrictions.

However, all Jews, Gypsies, non-german citizens, and other persecuted classes where still forbidden from owning a weapon. This included everybody in all the occupied countries.

Age restrictions were also lowered but yeah, sorry for being picky, I like the meme and the 2nd amendment.

Why has this been such a big issue over the last 2yrs, when all three branches of government has been controlled by the right?

If you are against gun control, it makes sense to vote Dem. Dems are for gun control but when in power, cannot get it through a Republican minority. As we've seen for many years. The moment Republicans get into office and actually have to find solutions to real world problems, they propose the smallest of gun control measures and the Dems help them all the way! It becomes law.
