Guns could have saved Jews from the Holocaust, Alaska congressman says
[News Tribune] 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.
