<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nAndy11M sends us a link to the Detroit Free Press<\/a> to a column written by Mitch Albom in which he points out that Hitler and his Nazis created the first scary black rifles;<\/p>\n The assault rifle traces back to Nazi Germany. Did you know that? The Germans were trying to develop a more effective weapon for their soldiers, one that rivaled the firepower of a submachine gun but had better accuracy in more confined spaces.<\/p>\n Kill faster, closer in. That was the idea. Adolf Hitler, according to some accounts, even named the weapon: Sturmgewehr. It means \u201cstorm rifle.\u201d<\/p>\n Tuck that somewhere in the back of your mind. The first people to really utilize this weapon were Nazis. Not our forefathers. Not Thomas Jefferson. Not George Washington.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, the Nazis also created the Volkswagon – they even named it the “People’s car”, but I’ll bet it doesn’t stop Albom from driving one to get his daily fat-free, glutten-free latte a lait. So, what exactly is his point? Well, it’s that defending the availability of scary-looking black rifles isn’t American – it’s 1930s National Socialist to want to own a scary-looking black rifle.<\/p>\n In fact, you might ask, why even write about this issue at all? You\u2019re just asking for abuse. Don\u2019t believe me? Wait a few hours and check the comments. I\u2019ll be called every name in the book, a moron, a bleeding heart, ignorant of firearms, many other juicy words.<\/p>\n So why do it? Because, like many of you, my heart breaks watching these families bury their children and cry out for some kind of reform. And I guess I\u2019d rather ignore criticism than ignore their tears.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, the truth is that he just wants the attention that the Kuntzmans<\/a> and the Steinbergs<\/a> are getting this week for making outrageous claims about guns, gun owners and gun dealers. Albom is just another attention whore whose career is in the crapper and he thinks he can make a name for himself by claiming assault weapons are Nazi, hinting that those of us who own one are Nazis, too. And it’s all for the children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
