....Kind of makes me feel like I am in Nazi Germany...
Phooey! If you were in Nazi Germany, they'd be rounding up Jews, Gypsies, Hispanics, Gays, etc., wholesale and sending them to the gas chambers. When I was growing up I knew people with numbers tattooed on their arms. You don't know anything about being in Nazi Germany.
Really? Then you have no clue what life was like in Nazi Germany. Let me know when the US starts up those extermination camps.
We do not have death camps - nor do I think we're headed there. And knowing what the Nazis were all about, I generally hate modern comparisons with those maniacs. BUT (you knew this was coming, right?) during the early years of Nazi Germany - say, before Kristallnacht in November 1938 - Germany didn't have death camps, either; however, they were becoming increasingly repressive, selectively discriminatory against certain groups via government power (think of using the IRS against tea party groups), and seemingly unbound by their own laws. (Someone said "I have a phone and a pen" . . . )
Of interest and relevance to people reading these forums and at least tangentially related to the topic of this thread, at least one writer has asserted that GCA '68 was inspired by the Nazi weapon law of 1938. (link: http://jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/GCA_68.htm ) In addition to the JPFO website, this assertion was also published in Guns & Ammo magazine around 20 years ago.
