Controls were in place in those countries, but confiscation followed the rise of those men to power. Hitler first registered the guns, then he seized them. Ask the Jews who were...oh yeah, they're dead.

And the stuff about citing the laws. You are a piece of work. Not only were the laws passed, they were codified, and a legal precedent has upheld them (Jose Padilla). You know better than that. You're adopting the denial approach of the Republican neo-cons. Rumsfeld was taped 80+ times for television saying Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, then one day he just announced that he never made any such claim. And Democrats think the same will work for them? Afraid not.

Everyone who's been following current events knows about the torture and "disappearing" legislation. I thought you were above such childishness. Is this the kind of evasive behavior America can look forward to under the Democrats? They'll just deny the laws the hated Republicans passed even EXIST?
