your guns and buy more guns.'

(Biz
Pac Review) – A survivor of Nazi-occupied Austria who sees parallels between that dark period and the United States of today has a word of warning and advice to
Americans: "Keep your guns and buy
more guns."
Katie Worthman
spoke earlier this year of what she witnessed as a child in Austria during Adolph Hitler’s rise to power, which was
followed by Soviet occupation of the country. She said the Nazi takeover
happened gradually, as opposed to media accounts to the contrary, according to
NRA News, which reported that Worthman said:
In 1938,
the media reported that Hitler rode into Austria with tanks and guns and took us over. Not true at
all. The Austrian people elected Hitler by 98 percent of the vote by means of
the ballot box. Now you might ask how could a Christian nation… elect a monster
like Hitler. The truth is at the beginning Hitler didn’t look like or talk like
a monster at all. He talked like an American politician.
Worthman said
gun control
also began gradually, before the Nazis eventually confiscated every firearm.
According to
NRA News, she said:
We also
had gun registration. All the Austrian people… had guns. But the government
said, "the guns are very dangerous. Children are playing with guns.
Hunting accidents happen and we really have to have total controlled safety.
And we had criminals again. And the only way that we can trace the criminal was
by the serial number of the gun."
So we
dutifully went to the police station and we registered our guns. Not long after
they said, "No, it didn’t help. The only way that we won’t have accidents
and crimes [is] you bring the guns to the police station and then we don’t have
any crimes anymore and any accidents. And if you don’t do that: capital
punishment."
So
that’s what we did. So
dictatorship didn’t happen overnight. It took five
years. Gradually, little by little to escalate up to a
dictatorship.
Worthman quoted Thomas
Jefferson make her biggest point.
"When
the people fear the government, that’s
tyranny. But when the government fears
the people… that’s
liberty," she said.
"Keep your guns. Keep your guns and buy more guns."
