According to snopes there is no record of Hitler saying that.

"Hitler's infamous quote ... is probably a fraud and was likely never uttered." (Vol. 73, Issue 2 Article 11, 2004), according to University of Chicago law professor Bernard E. Harcourt, writing in the Fordham Law Review.

He offers an exhaustive, 28-page history of gun registration laws in Germany, with the surprising bottom line that Hitler was actually easier on gun ownership than his predecessor, the Weimar Republic.

Here's what Harcourt has to say: "Following Germany's defeat in World War I, the Weimar Republic passed very strict gun control laws essentially banning all gun ownership, in an attempt to both stabilize the country and to comply with the Versailles Treaty of 1919."

He goes on to cite William L. Pierce, author of "Gun Control in Germany, 1928-1945":

"German firearms legislation under Hitler, far from banning private ownership, actually facilitated the keeping and bearing of arms by German citizens by eliminating or ameliorating restrictive laws which had been enacted by the government preceding his."

Pierce urges people to compare German gun laws from 1928 and 1938 as proof.

Begin sarcasm, it is illegal to put anything that is not true on the internet, end sarcasm. I have always wondered just how many people really believe that. There is no resource that can be trusted as 100% truth, not even our history books in our schools.

While the above statement may not be attributed to Hitler the meaning of it is most likely quite true. It would be very difficult to take over a country and keep it with it's citizens armed. Hitler did it in Germany mainly because he fooled his people to think we was for Germany until he replaced all police with his hardline forces and also used impressionable children in his uniforms as snitches. Looks like history might be repeating itself.

Though I can't see Obozo sending occupying forces marching into Canada or Mexico, many other similarities certainly do abound between our current dictator and Hitler

I will be totally surprised if he leaves office after this term is over. If the gubment manages to take our guns then we would have to rely on the criminals to take back the country.
