[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 51739"] You know, I've never given any thought about France, WW2 and gun control until I saw this most recent verbal exchange here. I am someone who strongly believes that the individual when acting responsible and without effect on other innocent parties should be allowed the right to own whatever means that person believes they need. In this day and age of crazed terrorists one might have an argument for caring an HK MP5 or even wearing a NBC suit that protects from nuclear, biological or chemical attack in certain geographical areas and if the person in no way infringes on me I really don't care what they wear or carry. I also believe we are on the edge of new weaponery such as Scalar technology or sound weapons along with lasars that will render the typical firearm or projectile firing weapon almost obsolete at some point in the not to distant future but that's another thread for another website. However, I must admit the statement that France had their own version of the US gun ownership forms we all sign when purchasing guns here in America and that the Nazi's went and got aka the movie Red Dawn scenario seemed far fetched to me. BTW, post Soviet Union officials have admitted had there been a Red Dawn type invasion this measure of identifying US gun owners and rounding up guns would have happened although not in the quick timeframe it was presented in Red Dawn so the scenario in the movie was based on an element of some fact. This thinking really does make sense for an invading force trying to limit future resistance once control is gained. Getting back to our French friends I decided to just go out and look on the web for a search of French gun control history as it pertains to WW2 and nothing I found at this point would help verify Dboy's point. Not saying NRA Dboy is wrong and Democratic Underground Susie Q is right, I've just not found it yet. However I did find an interesting op-ed piece about Gun Control, the Weimar Republic and the rise to power of Hilter which proved some interesting reading IMO. One might very well suggest instead of blaming France and it's gun control laws for Hilter we might first point that finger at Germany and the Weimar Republic. Sorry Susie but the source is National Review, not my favorite either if that means anything but at least it's not from the NRA. [/QUOTE]
