I like the poster. I like the message that it sends to the target audience of sportsman who think that their shotguns and hunting rifles will be safe from the gun-banners.
The Nazi regime did not commit the holocaust overnight; they nibbled away at the corners of society, at first, like termites. They took steps that seemed innocuous to most people, until all of those steps added up to a strong position from which they could commit atrocities with impunity.
I beg to differ. Hitler became Chancellor on 30 January 1933. Within his first year year, among other things he:
1) opened Dachau concentration camp near Munich, followed by Buchenwald near Weimar in central Germany, Sachsenhausen near Berlin in northern Germany, and Ravensbrück for women;
2) created the Gestapo;
3) banned Jews from public employment;
4) raided the offices of the Communist Pary, Social Democratic party, and trade unions, arrested their members, and confiscated their properties;
5) prohibited Jews from owning land;
6) declared the Nazi Party the only legal political party;
7) obtained dictatorial powers under the Enabling Act.
The Nazis didn't nibble as much as they gobbled up civil society. His opponents were so divided in the face of his onslaught they were run over.
I think it gets the message across. I will print out a few copies for my shooting friends who are not politically active...
