No freaking way! That incredibly stupid.
Charlie Brooker did a great part about this on his Newswipe series. This was 6 years ago:


On a lighter note but also related, this is comedy gold. The news host doesn't even listen to what he says.

The thing that gets me about this is that the TPP isn't supposed to be released to the public for another month. Elections that could determine how this thing is gonna end up are happening now. That and the whole keeping international deals that affect literally everyone a secret for years.

Canada's general elections are in 10 days time. I'm pretty sure the ruling party would get absolutely hammered if it was published beforehand.

So the holocaust would have been avoided if the jews had had more guns ?
So Trump is first, and this scum is second in the republican polls ? Y'all got some crackpot candidates.

It isn't anything new. Sure, its extreme to say that it would have been prevented, but disarming a people you're about to oppress is a hell of a lot easier than trying to do it when they can shoot you.

Its not like the US is all that clean in the matter either.

I completely agree -- my issue isn't with the fact that it's easier to disarm a people before opressing them, it's with his comments within the context of spooky Obama taking everyone's guns just to better oppress them.
We're not in the 20th century anymore, I'm pretty sure POTUS isn't going to go round smiting everyone after nicking their guns.

Then its good we're in agreement. Still, I'm gonna remain cautiously pessimistic as is tradition.

Of course, the last internment camp listed for the US started in 2002 and is still technically going on.

"A team of five wolf hunters has been working in his local area. They identified a pack of three adult wolves and three cubs. However, after a week they failed to shoot a single one."

I'm imaging some slapstick chase going on :D

Alps must be pretty inhospitable this time of year or they just don't have the right hunters.

Pretty much everything that lead up to and occurred during WW2 can be traced back to the Treaty of Versailles. If that never occurred, WW2 wouldn't have happened. Regardless, even if the oppressed population of Germany was armed, it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Kristallnacht might have been harder to achieve and there may have been some backlash during the later years, but in the end it most likely would've fuelled the propaganda machine by saying something stupid like "How could a fellow German turn against their own people?" or something.

A bit off topic, but linking gun control to the causes of the Holocaust is missing the bigger picture.

CNN is spreading lies that Hillary won the debate, but the polls and people are saying otherwise and are calling out on CNN's actions.

Different people are allowed to have different opinions. If CNN says Hillary won the debate, that's their right to judge it so.
Just like Hillary supporters would say that those Sanders polls are a load of tut.

An issue would arise, however, if Hillary somehow controlled CNN, or the ones who lead it.

Actually Seriously. This should push things a bit further since I have done some research about it. Needless to say. I'm disgusted about it
