re: #270 Targetpractice

In fact, the Weimer gov’t passed such weapon restrictions so that groups like the Nazis couldn’t take up arms against the gov’t. These morons, living now over half a century later, don’t understand that the period in which the laws were passed was one of great turmoil and unrest in Europe due to the Great War and subsequent Depression. Such laws were not intended to keep people from protecting themselves, they were to maintain law and order.

The wingnuts base their entire gun control meme on this Fake Quote.
