Fox's resident psychiatrist also says men should have an abortion veto .. that the Obamacare mandate to buy health insurance is the road to serfdom .. that guns are necessary to protect your home against government ..
Do you think he doesn't in the article say guns are needed for protection of self and family, because he knows that a gun in the home increases the risk of firearm homicide or firearm suicide?
In his article Ablow also slipped in the misinformation that Hitler disarmed the German people ..
by disingenuously suggesting that Hitler was pro-gun control, whereas actually Hitler was a populist gung-ho 'guns for the people' guy ..
"Note the not-so-subtle attempt to compare firearm regulation with Nazi Germany and Joseph Stalin. In addition, there is a quote going around the right-wing blogosphere being attributed to Hitler:
This year will go down in history! For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!
This is of course complete bunk. Hitler never said such a thing. Germany had enacted tough gun control laws in 1928, years before the Nazi rise to power. Instead of banning guns, Hitler instead expanded gun ownership for German citizens (he’d stripped the citizenship of undesirables already) to levels which one cannot even get inside of the United States. The 1938 German Weapons Act actually relaxed all gun ownership restrictions save on pistols. A German citizen could own a fully automatic weapon complete with grenade launcher, legally, under Nazi control.
So there you go .. FOX says taking assault weapons from people would be psychologically damaging, and that guns in homes are necessary to protect the home against government.
