You have got to be kidding. Anybody can post, change, delete anything on Wiki without review or control. Info at Wiki is about as reliable as the scribbling on a public facility wall.
Millions of "undesirables" would not have boarded trains if they had the means to fight back.
Sure. I've seen citation lists numbering in the low hundreds ALL OVER bathroom walls.

I have not done so recently but on more than one occasion I have changed entries at Wiki to show that it can be done.
But I have shown that you source lists reputable sources e.g. to legal journals, which support my post.

Yes. But didn't you just complain about Wiki for the reason it's unreliable? Every article has citations and I thikn YOU are taking the position that wiki is not reliable while the other poster is saying they ARE reliable.

You try reading the article. I like that unsupported opinion "The majority of historians and fact have described the argument..."
Also from your article.

"Works that endorse Nazi gun control theories

Come back when you have an argument that isn't whining about Wikipedia.

Congratulations.

Citations are listed at the bottom of the page. You are welcome to browse them at your leisure, but the historians they list disagree with your assessment of the Nazis regime, and that is the point: you are wrong.

Previously you seemed to struggle with the idea that you should care about anyone other than yourself and your immediate family, but besides that: Breaking down the NRA-backed theory that a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun
Ringo

Wow your source must not be up on current affairs. So here’s a quote from your source.

the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.”

It’s a good slogan,” said Liza Gold, a clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University’s School of medicine who examines the nexus between mental illness and gun violence.

"I have yet to see the evidence base for that claim,” she told ABC News in the wake of the Parkland high school shooting earlier this year“

I guess Lisa Gold hasn’t heard about the church shooting in Sutherland Spring Texas where the attacker was forced to flee because of a citizen who lived nearby who grabbed his gun and ran to their aide. The attacker managed to kill 26 people and wounded another 20. If the armed citizen hadn’t came to their aide the attacker could’ve killed over 100 more people.

Sutherland Springs church shooting - Wikipedia

I’m also surprised she hadn’t heard about the shooting in 2019 in White Settlement Texas where an attacker shot two people before an armed person in the congregation shot & killed him.

Three dead, including gunman, at Texas church

These are just two examples I just happened to know right off the top of my head. Perhaps Lisa Gold should get her head out of the sand and open her eyes before she opens her mouth because apparently she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

Yeah. I looked. The "legal journal" article, first off, really doesn't delineate what his SPECIFIC evidence is. Also, if you'd read Ringo's source, you'd note that that particular piece of research (which, by the way was from 1997) has since been ROUNDLY dismissed by people who ACTUALLY study Nazi history.

No that’s a lie. Here’s what I actually said.


So I shouldn’t worry about my family then, I should worry more about the lives of people I don’t know than the people I love with all my heart? Why are these people’s lives more important than my wife & children? I didn’t own a gun until after I had a wife and children. I bought one because it’s my responsibility to protect

You should worry about them equally, but fair enough. I honestly did misread what you said earlier.

well I could’ve simply said that’s not what I said instead of calling you a liar. You made an honest mistake, I’m the one who responded impolitely so I think I’m the one at fault here. God bless

When the Nazis took power in Germany one of the first things they did was to outlaw private ownership of fire arms.
An often repeated falsehood.

Let's ban box cutters. Or charge an exorbitantly large "insurance" fee for owners of box cutters.
Let’s ban McDonalds.

But you are right about box cutters and kitchen knives and even broken glass. They should all be banned. Make America safe again.

Because elections have consequences. And the party in charge wants to ban guns.
Perhaps America should give banning guns a try. Plenty of countries have little to no gun ownership and they don't have mass shootings or high rates of gun crime.
Sadly in the US it's not a case of wondering if there will be another mass shooting, but rather, when will the next mass shooting be.
Keeping guns, believing they are the answer to combatting violence is wrong. Guns are not the answer. They change nothing for the better, the killings and shootings continue almost unabated.
Insanity is often defined as continuing to do exactly the same thing and hoping for a different result.

The absolute closest we (Americans) could get is to first Amend the Constitution to leave the gun issue up to the States.
Ain’t happening before 2050 (if ever).

Unfortunately, I am inclined to agree with you. On both counts.
