ORIGINAL: ShiftedJewel I had a friend that worked as an independent political analyst, she did tons of research and a little known fact (I saw the newspaper article myself) is that most of the gun laws that Brady is/was trying to pass are verbatim of the Nazi laws against Jews, only the gun owners are now the Jews. quote:
ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster Right, it's a little known fact that the Brady Laws mandate gassing handgun-owners and redistributing their property among wealthy party sympathizers. Where do you get this crap? quote:
ORIGINAL: sfgrrl The one spewing crap here is you. She said GUN laws, not all laws. Try reading for comprehension next time. "For the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient. The world will follow our lead." - Adolph Hitler, 1935 As usual, you're WRONG stef. First, since the word verbatim can only be used as either an adjective or an adverb - but NOT as a NOUN, which is how ShiftedJewel incorrectly used it - the phrase that is in dispute here is not actually good English, but rather gibberish, therefore there is NO correct comprehension for what she wrote. That's bonk on the head #1. Second, if we replace the expression "are verbatim of" with the more correct "are taken verbatim from" (which is surely what ShiftedJewel intended to write) then Lordandmaster's interpretation of the resultant phrase "are taken verbatim from the Nazi laws against Jews" is a very reasonable one. Certainly, it's a lot more reasonable than your jaundiced reading. As can be clearly seen, ShiftedJewel did NOT say that the Brady Laws were derived from similar Nazi gun registration laws, but rather that they were derived from "the Nazi laws against Jews" which is far broader in scope. Thus your own comprehension of what was written is much more questionable than Lordandmaster's reading. The latter was also sarcastically exagerated a little in order to bring out the full import of the ludicrousness of ShiftedJewel's claim. That's bonk on the head #2 for you. Finally, the single sentence quote from Hitler in 1935 that you gave is hardly damning. If that is the only chunk of text in the Brady Laws that is verbatim then it hardly turns that particular piece of legislation into Mein Kampf! The fact that the Third Reich managed to achieve full gun registration is totally irrelevant to the evil pogroms that the Nazi regime instituted ... these pogroms did not happen because of full gun registration. You need to learn some history, dear girl, before you try and claim that WW2 and the Holocaust are all a consequence of Nazi instigated gun control laws. The Versailles Treaty after WW1 was very strict about German disarmament, and consequently the 1919 Weimar Republic issued a total and complete ban on ALL guns in the state. After all the post-war civil unrest had died down, the Weimar Republic relaxed this ban somewhat, and around about 1928 even permitted some very controlled gun ownership and manufacture. Two of the main political factions in the country that were the most adversely affected by this ban on guns were the Nazi party and the Communists. Consequently, after gaining power in 1933, the Nazis effectively RELAXED the gun control regulations, albeit not for the Jews, who were later (as the Nazis achieved preeminent power in the late thirties) banned from owning any kind of weapons (i.e., not just guns, but knives, etc.). But the Nazis actually relaxed gun control for most citizens of the country, NOT restricted it. So if there is to be any kind of causal connectivity that can be established between gun control and evil pogroms under Nazi rule it is that the pogroms resulted from the more relaxed gun control legislation instigated by the Nazis! For allowing yourself to be completely brainwashed by NRA propaganda you get a third bonk on the head, stef. That's three bonks and you are out ... thank you for playing! sissy maid lola
