I would not recommend this approach at this time.

It's not about the fight, just that a large portion of our population finds
absolutely no resonance in this and wouldn't unless they were actually
in the cattle cars themselves. Consider what they are capable of imagining
as a threat to their present way of life as a place to start.

Good start, sir.
Shoot - I would think ALOT of the people in this country can relate to this - are there so many that are naive about what WW2 was about?
I do understand though so many thinking "well - it could never happen here".
Not for nothing, but this is exactly how I will feel when they come to get all the guns I now own that were banned, grand-fathered, later subject to registration, then confiscated - helpless.

Yes, most don't understand how power works. It was also a long time ago
for most people.
The American populace is stuck in consumption of inanimate objects. If you
want to tap into that predominate psyche, you could do something like have
a dual picture of two scenes: 1) three BGs bursting into the home and the
homeowner responding with a double fistful of EBR or 2) three BGs bursting
into the home and a single limp wrist of flatscreen TV remote. In both pics
you have the HUGE flatscreen TV in the background with the same scene
of a city with streets underwater with the following underticker: "Riots
Continue in City.....National Guard Bogged Down in Iraq....Governor and
President wrangle over assigning blame...."
Can you imagine it? So can John Q Citizen --since this has been part of his
reality for the last couple of years.

I love it!! Can I copy it and put it up at my favorite gun store?
I agree with Thin Black Line.
The US is populated with aging Boomers and Gamers. Images from the Greatest Generation folks are not what you need to be referencing. Look to traumatic events that are significant to the target audience's physche. LA riots, KKK bombing/murders, Katrina Looting, Home Invasions.
An image of you standing in the doorway of your business with an EBR and reflections of looting of unprotected stores across the steet in the windows of your store. An image of a car jacker with a gun on the ground and your wife pointing a gun at them while she crouches over your wounded body while the kids are visable in the car. That sort of thing.

My suggetions would be to target your poster to the audience you want to reach and avoid rhetoric.
The M1 poster, ok, maybe for my grandfather, something like, "Your M1 freed the world but soon it will be illegal for a freeman to own."
You can think of lots of snippets that aren't over the top and more subtle than gun ban = Nazism. Give it a go!

LOL, hso, thanks for that last mental image --now I have to give my wife some
Combat Life Saver training.
"Yeah, honey, the tourniquet is in the glove box....when you're sure the BG
is dead I'll talk you through the IV needle again....I'm feeling kind of light
headed...."

Thanks for the tips - well appreciated.
I was indeed looking for some NOLA pics to use next...
Also, I do not want to be subtle, none of us should be! I take this bull too personal. How Nazis used it is the perfect example of what the only true result of gun control is. Maybe that truth has to sink in more?
In the mean time - I wil play around more!

Given today's sad events, how a picture of a parent with an AK47 guarding
the kids at the bus stop?
the kids at the bus stop?

The now demised "Acidman" had a photo once of a grizzled old long beard at a kids bus stop with a lever action. It was taken at a time (a year or two ago) when some monster was taking kids, and was a perfectly normal reaction in that part of the country. I wish I had a link, but alas, I don't.
