2nd Amendment - WARNING: "..ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State."

"After having occupied Russian territory Hitler said: "Der größte Unsinn, den man in den besetzen Ostgebieten machen könnte, sei der, den unterworfenen Völkern Waffen zu geben.  Die Geschichte lehre, daß alle Herrenvölker untergegangen seien, nachdem sie den von ihnen unterworfenen Volkern Waffen bewilligt hatten."

[ "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms.  History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so." ]

 -- Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), April 11, 1942,

    quoted in Hitlers' Tischgespräche Im Führerhauptquartier 1941-1942.

[Hitler's Table-Talk at the Führer's Headquarters 1941-1942], Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaum-Verlag, Bonn, 1951)

..Hitler continues, "Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty.  So let's not have any native militia or police.  German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order."

Heinrich Himmler had this to say, "Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA - ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State."

 

If you replace Germans, SS and SA with Americans, Police and Military you'll have the philosophy of US anti-gun crowd.  I wonder how the average person who has been lead to lean towards the anti-side by the popular media would feel if they were fully aware of the intellectual company they are keeping.
