Gun Ad Likens Obama To Hitler, Other Dictators

Federals hate freedom and love power. And this is an outrageous way to make a buck.

Article may be gone. At least, for me, the link is broken. I would guess the ad references the strong, anti-gun activities that Hitler advocated and employed in his rise to power, and the similar elimination of any rights to firearms possessed by the populace that is normally one of the very first actions taken by dictators upon seizing power. And in keeping with HuffPo's agenda, they are putting their requisite Lefty spin on this, of course.

No reason to compare him to ANY of those people. To do so just makes you look foolish.

Interesting reading TY

Well said.

People who do so minimize the henious actions of those individuals.
In doing so they also minimize their critque of the president whom they could critique on his own behavior.

The dictators and gun seizure case can be made and stands on it's own merrit.

Um, no. Comparing him to people who have come before, and to whom he bears a resemblance, merely serves to warn of his potential. We must be ever watchful, even if what we're watching for never manifests, we must watch. We won't be ready to respond if we don't. We must be ready to respond. Watch.

I watched the ad, it's just good marketing based on fear.

Quite right. Just because murderous, totalitarian regimes enacted gun control does not mean any government that does so will, in fact, become a murderous regime (even though I would say we are certainly on that path). Rather than appealing to emotion,they could have made their case by only pointing out that gun control is merely one step on a long road that *can* end in genocide.

Just my thoughts.

Both are statist pigs.... May they both burn in Hell.

Hank Williams Jr. called Obama Hitler and he lost Monday night football. Just saying, be careful.

Very well said! I could not agree with you more. We must always be ready, we must always know that at least the possibility of a threat exists. It is a terrible thing to be caught off guard, and the results are never good.
Reps to you!

^^^ This! Disarmament is disarmament. If a bad guy is able to break into my house and rape/murder my family and I am unable to defend us due to disarmament by government action, how is this any less evil to me, as an individual, than the collective tyranny of a nation?

Just a nugget for the history buffs, Hitler actually relaxed German gun laws. It was the Weimar Republic that had banned private ownership following the end of WWI.

Did this "relaxing" of gun laws apply to the Jewish race and if not, how did that work out for them? Not trying to be rude, just curious.

It did not, Jews and Communists were still banned.

I told some democrats their calling G.W. Bush, Hitler, was uncalled for but they told me they had a right of free speech.
