Ben Carson Says An Armed Citizenry Would Have Been Able to Greatly Diminish Hitler's Slaughter

"To conquer a nation you must first disarm the citizens. Nothing drives the people harder than sudden fear of death." - Adolf Hitler

Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. - James Madison

The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed. - Thomas Jefferson

The great object is that every man be armed. - Patrick Henry

For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security. - Thomas Jefferson 

Militia: a military force or ‘citizen army’ (1590); a body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers; a body of citizens organized in a paramilitary group and typically regarding themselves as defenders of individual rights against the presumed interference of the federal government.

New York Daily News - Ben Carson, the neurosurgeon-turned-politician, said Thursday that gun control played a part in the World War II slaughter of 11 million people deemed "undesirable” by Nazis, including six million Jews.

“I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed,” he said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

The comment came after the CNN host read a passage from Carson’s book, “A More Perfect Union,” which was released Tuesday.

“German citizens were disarmed by their government in the late 1930s, and by the mid-1940s Hitler's regime had mercilessly slaughtered six million Jews and numerous others whom they considered inferior ... Through a combination of removing guns and disseminating deceitful propaganda, the Nazis were able to carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance,” the passage read.

Blitzer rebuffed Carson’s suggestion by pointing out the Nazi’s military supremacy.

“They had a powerful military machine, as you know, the Nazis,” the host said.

“I understand that,” Carson barked back. “I’m telling you that there is a reason that these dictatorial people take the guns first.”
