So here's a typical example of what some would consider a witty "anti-gun control gun control" image floating around on FB and email forwards. Personally, I believe these propaganda pieces are simply designed to illicit a dramatic emotional association with a horrible moment in human history. In this case, implying that "gun control or gun control legislation" of any type (?) is akin to the time period leading up to the Hitler's Nazi revolution.
So, here's a question for you. Among all industrialized (advanced) countries in the world, how many have strict gun control laws? Here's two for consideration - Australia and Japan. And what's the correlation between strict gun-control policies and a countries' likelihood to slip into a "Hitler / Nazi" type regime? Or are creators of pictures like these cherry picking information for the sake of making a sensationalized point? Or looking at it from a different angle, are there countries with liberal gun ownership laws that are genuinely repressive regimes? i.e. Middle East
Reasonable or irrational?
What's your take?
