Then you deserve what you get.
I am not afraid of being shot by police....You on the other hand would prefer anyone had access to fire arms like America....Care to explain your position mate???
I'm thinking that's exactly what they said in Germany when Hitler took all their weapons away from the population
Yes
Hitled disarmed Germany before he took on the world.
It's what all despots do
Disarm the population
Then come down on them hard, safe in the knowledge that the population can't fight back.
Geez people love to pick on poor old Hitler. He was one smart feller, I honestly believe he never had any desire for world conquest by force of arms, he just wanted to get back under German control, what was stolen from them in the utter bastardry of the Treaty of Versailles. He also wanted a bit better buffer between Germany and that truly evil man, Stalin.
He had England firked, he could have annihilated the entire French and British forces at Dunkirk.
He stopped his men, and his Tanks and his Planes from destroying them, and THEN, offered Britain unbelievably generous terms to end the war. It was only the ego and hubris of Churchill who still wanted to make a name for himself, other than incompetent fookup, that saw the peace refused, and Rudolph Hess, Hitlers 2IC, who'd personally flown to England to try and broker a peace, locked up in solitary confinement for the rest of his life.
Unfortunately his failing health and over medication by unscrupulous quacks saw him lose the plot. I personally believe he was certifiably insane from mid 42 on to the end.
Do not get me wrong, I do not seek to justify the utter bastardry perpetrated by Nazi goons, or the horrendous war crimes they committed, just that they weren't Robinson Crusoe.
People talk so much sheeite about war, well I can tell you stories of brave Aussie troops murdering unarmed prisoners of war. I can also tell you of deliberate acts of cannibalism by good Oz fighting men, as well of amazing deeds of heroism and compassion, like most men they could be gods or demons.
So when I see history portraying one side as evil embodied, and the other as the white knights, I have to think, naive fools, who else would believe such tripe?
