Bullshit, first off the Allies put the heavy restrictions on Germany, NOT AN OUTRIGHT BAN, but heavy gun regulations on Germany after WW1. Hitler relaxed gun laws and expanded them to party and German loyalists. And it wasn't like Stalin and Hitler liked each other in any case.
So if gun huggers fear the left so much, remember there is no political party oath in the 2nd Amendment to own one, so if you are for gun rights then you also have to defend democrats rights to own them as well. So if liberal gun owners who voted for Obama and will Vote for either Hillary or Bernie then the only way to stop liberals is to do what Hitler did and demand a party nationalist oath as a litmus test for ownership.
Oh and you idiots don't understand that government even in Washington's time used the "militia" to preserve the union against moron anti taxers.

Sorry guys, but on top of laws with just about every other product changing with changing technology, it is flat out absurd to think the founders intended no rules at all. They used the militia to preserve the country, not so John Wayne and Dirty Harry morons could falsely play victim.
I am sick of the paranoid crap from gun worshipers that if we vote to change laws that we will become a fascist state. GROW UP!
I grew up in a sort of rural setting, where I learned to respect guns before I ever shot any. Nobody got hurt, and I didn't even hunt because I don't enjoy killing (I still eat meat, but at least the farm-raised beasts get a simple and easy life, never saw the bolt coming). I don't own guns where I now live, don't see myself in a position to need one for what I do - but that's by my own judgment, which is mine alone to make, and I respect the right of others to decide that for themselves!
The area which I left behind is only slightly more populated than those where you will find the state prisons, and if you happen to live near one of them then you are probably not wealthy enough to afford either private, round-the-clock protection, nor an uncorrupted police force. Corruption of police is far worse than ordinary crime, and the runaway green light cops got to go and grab all the weapons they could carry is why the arms race between crime and police has escalated out of control. You may be an ignorant, tobacco-chewing dumbfuck, but when you don't trust the police who treat you like no-account scum, then in that case your judgement is correct! Therefore, if you are going to disarm the public, then disarm the domestic police too!
Mr. Hanky loves you!
