In 1985 I stood in front of the ovens in Dachau and the smell was still strong. I walked through the showers where gas came from the shower heads and the doors on both ends slid open so bulldozers could push out the bodies. I walked through the bunk houses where starving men were forced to sleep on top of each other and were worked until they were near death. I saw the pictures.
I knew it was real and still could not comprehend how it could have ever happened.
This is why the second amendment was written. Power corrupts and weapons are power. If we could go back in time and arm every holocaust victim with a 9mm handgun how would history have changed?
Those weapons were removed slowly, over time and nobody ever suspected the unthinkable would happen.
We must learn from history.
