You're comparing the Nazi Army which was strong enuf to make it to the gates of Moscow and to the French Coast to a handful of untrained nightriders? I did no such thing. I pointed out how when the power of the state isn't united against them that even a small minority can benefit by arming themselves. When the power of the state is united against them its much more difficult. That's true even if it isn't a relatively small discriminated against minority in the context of years of gun control. But if you have a large wide spread number of fairly well armed people that its much harder for government to put down resistance (even the Nazi army had problems in Yugoslavia). Jewish population of Germany consisted of about 500,000 people. Jews represented less than one percent of the total German population of about 67 million people Your supporting my point. They where a small minority. Beyond that they where a heavily disliked, widely discriminated against, and mostly disarmed minority. Despite the best attempts of the gun grabbers, gun owners in the US don't fit that description.
