Who could have anticipated Wayne LaPierre would unleash a right-wing trope that turns out to be a lie?
Oh, yeah, everyone.
The 1938 law signed by Hitler that LaPierre mentions in his book basically does the opposite of what he says it did. “The 1938 revisions completely deregulated the acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, as well as ammunition,” Harcourt wrote. Meanwhile, many more categories of people, including Nazi party members, were exempted from gun ownership regulations altogether, while the legal age of purchase was lowered from 20 to 18, and permit lengths were extended from one year to three years.
I'm sure this will cause Wayne to stop lying and take up something healthier, like actual masturbation.
Or not.
In his book, America Disarmed: Inside the U.N. & Obama's Scheme to Destroy the Second Amendment, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre likened the United Nations Small Arms and Light Weapons Destruction Day, held on July 9, 2001, to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels' order that books authored by Jews be publicly burned.
LaPierre then suggested that the burning of guns could "help set the stage for mass executions of gun owners" just as Goebbels' order precipitated the mass killing of Jews.
Thanks for keeping it crazy, Wayne.

Wayne would like to Thank Us For Shooting.
Anyone got some of those nicotine patches?
If I were inclined to the sort of fearmongering that ol' Wayne employs, I'd be telling America that he's got the tiniest penis of them all... just like Hitler.
maybe we should just whole sale amputate their trigger fingers.
Also, too . . . everyone seems to overlook the fact that the unrestrained arming of the SA by Corporate interests made the Third Reich possible in the first place. Just sayin'
