Ben Carson Just Compared Gun Control To Hitler’s Germany (Video)
Ben Carson says that there’s a reason Hitler disarmed Germans before taking full control of the country.
In a lengthy interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer this afternoon, Ben Carson compared gun control efforts to Hitler’s Nazi Germany.
“The likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed,” Carson told Blitzer. The CNN anchor had asked “if there had been no gun control at that time, would six million Jews have been slaughtered?”
“You realize there was a reason they took the guns first, right?,” Carson asked. “I’m telling you that there’s a reason that these dictatorial people take guns first.”

Carson also claimed that make scenes of mass shootings are “gun-free zones,” and he also pointed to other countries who disarmed their citizens, calling it “tyranny.”Â
