Impeachment Probe Can Derail ‘Gun Deal’ — if White House Lets It
Through his own words and actions, this president, elected in large part on a “pro-gun” platform, has created tremendous doubt within the gun owner community.

As for Miller, you'd think a lawyer would be able to read the case. The government's argument was not that Miller was a felon and the opinion issued held that the short-barrel shotgun was not exempted from registration and tax stamp requirements because the court hadn't seen evidence "that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense."

Unfortunately for those who would like to link Hitler and the National Socialists with gun control, the entire premise for such an effort is false. German firearms legislation under Hitler, far from banning private ownership, actually facilitated the keeping and bearing of arms by German citizens by eliminating or ameliorating restrictive laws which had been enacted by the government preceding his: a left-center government which had contained a number of Jews.What's missing from that "Gotcha!" rejoinder is the totalitarian monstrousness of utterly disenfranchising a segment of society which was not homogenous with the ideology and agenda of the rulers. And for the record, no matter what linguistic contortions the deniers go through, Hitler "was, at heart, a left-winger."
