From General Jurgen Stroop, SS, Stroop Report. captured post-war before it could be destroyed by the Nazi's, describes the Uprising in the Jewish Warsaw Ghetto in April, 1943. Stroop was executed in Poland after the war. The ghetto had shops with skilled leather workers and tailoring shops producing items for the German Army. Work for the war effort was one of the only reasons any were still alive in 1943.

From Stroop report text:

Moreover, the Jews had succeeded in fortifying some of these factories as centers of resistance. Such a center of resistance in an Army accommodation office had to be attacked as early as the second day of the action by an Engineer's Unit equipped with flame throwers and by artillery. The Jews were so firmly established in this shop that it proved to be impossible to induce them to leave it voluntarily; I therefore resolved to destroy this shop the next day by fire.

Photographs (some of 52 see link) of results of artillery and flame thrower attacks on Jewish rebels armed only with "guns":

Certainly a handgun wouldn't have saved him on that balcony either. If you're a target, you're a target. Short of being an Arabian prince or President with security detail, you have to deal with the risks.

Another hot tip for Ginni:

Another hot tip for Ginni:

Plenty of Democrats, especially in rural or conservative-leaning areas, used to avoid attacking the N.R.A. That was then. https://t.co/51FzjKIAXG

In reply to I recall Kristallnacht and

Wingnuts and the NRA try to promote Martin Luther King Jr as a staunch supporter of gun rights. In the early years, King did apply for a gun permit. Alabama refused his request. King believed in the use of a weapon for personal protection of others. As he grew in his philosophy of nonviolence, he gave up on personally owning a gun. After his home was bombed, the men who provided protection for the home were unarmed. King realized that armed black men would have been cut down by the more numerous weapons of the white police and citizens. King also realized that being surrounded by armed Secret Service agents did not save the life of JFK.

In reply to Hot tip for Ginni: Zionists

I recall Kristallnacht and Nazis burning books - I don't remember the brownshirts collecting firearms from Jews, or that home ownership of weapons was big in Berlin ir amburg. perhaps Ginni's reading the NRA's revised version of world events. Well, fuck her uninformed opinion.
