An Alaska congressman has argued that Jews could have averted the Holocaust if they’d been armed.
“How many millions of people were shot and killed because they were unarmed? Fifty million in Russia,” says Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska on a recording made by a Democrat running for Young’s seat. “How many Jews were put in the ovens because they were unarmed?”
Dmitri Shein, a Democrat seeking Young’s seat, recorded the comments at a conference last week in Juneau, reported Alaska Public Media. Shein asked Young about school safety, prompting the exchange.
The argument that gun control eased Adolf Hitler’s rise in Germany before World War II has circulated among gun-rights advocates for years, even appearing in a National Review article The Anti-Defamation League, however, has called the claim outlandish.
“It is mind-bending to suggest that personal firearms in the hands of the small number of Germany’s Jews (about 214,000 remaining in Germany in 1938) could have stopped the totalitarian onslaught of Nazi Germany when the armies of Poland, France, Belgium and numerous other countries were overwhelmed by the Third Reich,” Jonathan Greenblatt, national director of the Anti-Defamation League wrote in a 2015 opinion piece for the Huffington Post.
The Anti-Defamation League also posted to Twitter on Wednesday to denounce Young’s remarks.
Yeah, I think that's why the ADL came out so hard against it. Its the kind of reasoned logic that blows apart 5 different narratives.

Guns should have caused a holocaust, because the holocaust is a lie
Matthew Ross
What the fuck!? I hate guns now!
Owen Sanders
Alaskan politician here. Don Young is pretty based. We've been looking for a successor to him the last few years because he's in his 80's but he's not easily replaced. Shein is just flinging shit because Alaskan Dems have no chance
Jose Sanchez
>there were only 200k jews in Nazi germany, even if they were all armed the could not fight back >also 6 million jews died in the holocaust Huh...
Jason Anderson
Its one of the better 2nd Amend arguments I've seen a politician make. How are things doing up there?
James Allen
there were 214,000 remaining Jews in germany in 1938, but 150,000 went to fight with the nazi. So that leaves only 64,000 jews left.
Jordan Foster
Makes normies go: Hmmmm?
Juan Morris
200k jews couldn't have stopped the nazis?
wait
my math skills really lack, but something seems off.

>How are things doing up there? Open and concealed carry are legal for all with no permit required. Nobody cares if you carry your rifle with you into the store before you go out hunting. The state budget is a bit of an issue because the legislature expanded the budget too much while oil prices were high but even that is slowly being fixed
Luis Scott
if there was only 2 million jews killed in poland and only 214,000 jews in germany, where do we get the other 3.786 million jews from?
Ethan Powell
The ADL literally destroyed the holocaust narrative
Benjamin Sanchez
Dont forget (((Berkowit's))) new gas tax that took effect today. At least this year he didnt say the public has to choose between police officers and plowed roads... Though as I recall cutting free gibs for nigs wasn't on the table.
Wyatt Richardson
I'm confuse, this "holocaust" he is talking about, it didn't happen, right Sup Forums? Or is Sup Forums a Jewish board now?
Adrian Bennett
we all know 6million jews weren't killed. we all know the nazis killed partisans and commies, most of whom were jews. we know most people who died in camps, died of typhus .
John Long
Good to hear. Sometimes I worry AK is turning blue.

>The ADL literally destroyed the holocaust narrative Yes they did. Didn't they
David Rogers
>Dont forget (((Berkowit's))) new gas tax that took effect today I hear people in Mat Su like the tax. Glad I don't live in the containment zone of Anchorage
Dominic Butler
MatSu is in an even worse financial situation. The ANC tax means people will fill up in MatSu before driving into the city. Of course they like it

That's a good point... ban em.

Partisan fighters, what are they?
Dylan Sullivan
So then who are these globo kikes? Or is literally everything just a big fucking joke. It seems if 150,000 jews fought for Hitler, some of them would have spoken up more vocally?
Christian Fisher
I live in new cracktown; Anchorage is shit right now but still a pretty nice place to live.
Tweakers siphon gas on our work vehicles on a weekly basis
Wanna live innawoods but too dependent on city job
Politically you're forced to choose between cuckservative oil shills and libtard dems
This state would be so much better off if we focused on being more self sufficient instead of selling natty gas to chinks and importing everything.

50,000 men with rifles can literally make an area unassailable.
Most people didn't fight outside of the armes in Europe during WW2 and let Germany steamroll them. Russians eventually got together and fought, and won.
Austin Jackson
No such thing as a based Alaskan Politician. Just greedy Jew Boomers and asshole Lawyers. Alaska functions like a corporate cult. Just ask Don Young about his boi Cox.
Aaron Moore
what kind of jobs are available to people moving to Alaska?
Jordan Hernandez
Palin disarmed the ASDF, and is anti 2nd amendment. Walker, Mallot and Murkowski are commies Sullivan is a schmuck. Don Young just another fat thief. The rest are useless ex magistrates and corrupt lawyers. Russia should just nuke Alaska at this point.
Oliver Sullivan
From the jew's imagination.

Did they kill the jewish kids of these partisans?

Matthew Cruz
Le 56% education everybody. Holy fuck this is stupid. Hitler would've put you in a camp as well, he didn't like retards
Wyatt Diaz
>Is there no end to american stupidity? The American inability to add and subtract will be your downfall not ours.
Colton King
But Hitler didn't ban guns?
Aaron Reed
I can walk around with a rifle and noone cares. Money and local political issues. Ignore the legal weed, just libertarianism as usual. Lots of people in ak operate slightly outside the jurisdiction of the law and that can appear leftist, but is actually extreme conservatism.
Most alaskans dont really give a shit about the lower 48.
Leo Clark
Well, it won't help now. President Cuck sold out, he is coming for your guns.
