OK I concede on the appointed vs. elected topic…

Regardless, Private gun ownership was BANNED after the Reichstag Fire… The whole point was that someone stated that, “My post addressed the concept that a mass murderer is enabled by readily available firearms.” Hitler took away liberty (like the Patriot Act) and took away private guns (a good chunk of them) rendering the citizens as powerless sheep. Then he started his killing spree.

If you want to be top dog: “GET ALL THE GUNS” then you are top dog till a bigger dog comes along!

Myth: Democracy elected Hitler to power.

Fact: Hitler used backroom deals, not votes, to come to power.

Summary

Hitler never had more than 37 percent of the popular vote in the honest elections that occurred before he became Chancellor. And the opposition among the 63 percent against him was generally quite strong. Hitler therefore would have never seen the light of day had the German Republic been truly democratic. Unfortunately, its otherwise sound constitution contained a few fatal flaws. The German leaders also had a weak devotion to democracy, and some were actively plotting to overthrow it. Hitler furthermore enjoyed an almost unbroken string of luck in coming to power. He benefited greatly from the Great Depression, the half-senility of the president, the incompetence of his opposition, and the appearance of an unnecessary backroom deal just as the Nazis were starting to lose popular appeal and votes.

When Hitler was appointed chancellor on January 30th 1933, it was at the head of a coalition government. It was very clear in his mind that it would not remain this way for long. By the end of March 1933, he had acquired much greater powers than the former leading politicians of the Weimar Republic could ever have foreseen when they supported his appointment as chancellor. The death of President Hindenburg in August 1934, allowed him to combine both chancellor’s and president’s positions into one when Hitler became the Fuehrer and Reich Chancellor.

appointed=/=elected

He was ELECTED… Achtung: you copied from Wikipedia! Wikipedia is many time WRONG

You nasty man :)

I have a great sex life and so does my wife. When we are able and the time is right we diversify our activities. And yes we have done things in bed that many would not. None of this has anything to do with guns except that my wife and I both own and shoot guns. Guns have been part of my life from birth. My kids all learned gun safety and all shoot with us (3 kids) and none seem to dislike or reject it.

On this thread my point is that people get killed each and every day in all sorts of ways. Back in the day men used rocks then clubs and sticks…

Look at the picture atop this thread. Waving flags on sticks but that stick is a symbol of a weapon called a SPEAR. The flag itself is symbolic of the trials and tribulations of a nation.

I’m gonna break my rule, just this one time, because I like you and I want you to be better informed about Hitler.

This explanation is extremely simplified, in the interest of time and space. In the Weimar Republic, Chancellor was a position similar to the Prime Minister in Britain. The leader of the majority party of the Reichstag was the Chancellor. Because no party could win a majority of the seats in the Reichstag, the President of Germany, von Hindenberg, needed a Chancellor that could form a coalition cabinet. Hindenberg selected several other leading German politicians, but the Nazis in the Reichstag made it impossible for any of his other choices to maintain the necessary coalition. Hitler became Chancellor because Hindenberg had no other choice. A few giant steps later, other political parties were outlawed, the Reichstag granted autocratic powers to Hitler and dissolved itself.

He was not elected, no one was elected to the position of German Chancellor. Unlike Britain’s PM (who must be an elected member of Parliament to become Prime Minister), Germany’s Chancellor was not required to hold a seat in the Reichstag. There were later elections in which Germans were asked to affirm Hitler’s position – not surprisingly, he tended to draw 99% “Ja!” votes.

This is really my last post about Hitler.

Your wife is a real screamer, she said you couldn’t get her to that point the way I did.

Bye for now.

That said, the blame falls squarely on Cho, not for or against gun control.

Ermm, I don’t like you either, sorry if I have given you that impression. Nor want to be friendly with a person that thinks that arming pubescent brats is a good idea.

Men have been killing women for one reason or another since we came out of the trees.

A motive for not giving extra “tools” to potential killers.

Most men finding their wife’s having sex with another man get a divorce. Hitting them, beating them, stabbing them, killing them, burning them, shooting them are all criminal and if someone survives this then there is court.

I was thinking that pro gun people is for PREVENTING these things.

I guess you didn’t watch the “Minority Report” ? but in the future people could be arrested by the police for future crimes. You want to one up that and remove any weapon and potential weapon!

Oh, I see a law banning guns is sci-fi for you, as if every human was born with a S&W glued to his hand. I see that you live in a Brave New World.

If I walked in on my wife and her lover I would possibly join in since my wife likes DP but that is just me.

Beware, because in your country is far easier make illegal sex than weapons. You would end in jail and/or castrated.

BTW, sodomy is a illegal in a couple states (who love guns also).

Now there’s one name I’ve never been called

Just to let you know I was not against anything you said in your post #221. I agreed with everything you said. I was just pointing out that it’s the primary role of the federal government to provide for the defense of the country, not to imply that U.S. citizens people shouldn’t defend themselves from foreign invaders. In fact people having guns in their personal possession is what would keep this country from being invaded by another country with an equal military…if there was such a thing.

Simplified yes. But the threat has been minimized, not eliminated.

They may get one, but not all. If 10 peopel rush a gunman, he may get one or two, but not all. Numbers alone increase your odds of survival.

19 Hijackers armed w/ box cutters killed more than 3000 people in moments!
Not a gun in the bunch! No passengers were armed so they are “DISARMED VICTEMS”
You are Captain LOGIC today!

that was the letters “em” inside to start and “/em” inside to finish.

Oh no, you didn’t!
I’m hoping you’re being sarcastic (and it gives me the opportunity to try out my hard core italics…no pun intended, of course)

OK, so you prohibit hand guns. What about pipes and all the ingredients for a pipe bomb? Do you ban those as well? Or flammable substances? Or cars? Or baseball bats? Or……………
