Post # 69 by dmallind states that,

In GD where we had well over 120 repsonses before the move it was running at just over 50% owning guns and 50% either not personally or not even within the family.



To take firearms from Republicans would also require taking firearms from Democrats. Otherwise it would be similar to Hitler restricting firearm ownership for Jewish people.

Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons
11 November 1938
With a basis in §31 of the Weapons Law of 18 March 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p.265), Article III of the Law on the Reunification of Austria with Germany of 13 March 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 237), and §9 of the Führer and Chancellor's decree on the administration of the Sudeten-German districts of 1 October 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p 1331) are the following ordered:

§1
Jews (§5 of the First Regulations of the German Citizenship Law of 14 November 1935, Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 1333) are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority.

§2
Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew's possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation.

Of course, I could also point out that banning the Republicans would violate the Constitution in so many ways that I can't count them.

I will merely assume that your post lacked a :sarcasm: thingie.
