Good old John Rocker. Truly a certifiable moron. This Mao/Hitler/Stalin business pops up a lot lately.
First of all, is it even true that Hitler disarmed the populace? Germany became a rather well-armed place before the Holocaust.
Did the Nazis take away guns from Jews in particular? I don't know, but I do know that the 214 thousand Jews in Germany in 1939 (according to Wikipedia - I know) probably wouldn't have been able to stop the Third Reich had they been allowed to hold on to their hunting rifles.
What kind of disarming program went on in China in the early 20th century? I'm sure John Rocker and his likeminded pals are well-versed in Chinese history, but I kinda think there were a lot of rural peasants and maybe not a lot of guns rounded up from the citizenry.
Other questions: did the murdering of those millions in Germany start with a democratically elected leader suggesting universal background checks?
Did Stalin ask for a Comprehensive School Safety Plan at any time during his infamous rule?
