K98k's and politics

Will this thread ever die?

doubt it.

Im confused. If you want it to die, why post?



Moboost, I get where you are coming from.

Owning, appreciating, & shooting a piece of history, ok.

Buying Nazi memorabilia strickly for the Nazism, not ok.

I too find those peddling Nazi **** at the gunshow disgusting. Just my opinion.

Valuable or not, why someone would want to own a plate, cloth, or other non gun Nazi crap is beyond me.

But I also know there are some very weird people in the world & nothing will change that.

Let the weird be weird, so long as they dont incite a cult of weirdness and plot death and violence.

I own a Turkish Mauser, doesn't mean I endorse the genocide of Armenians....

Heck, our own government used Nazis like Wernher von Braun to build this nation's space technology after WW2. And he was integral in the Peenemunde death camps! Definitely don't see anything wrong with owning a piece of history (as long as it isn't part of your Hitler memorial).

The CIA recruited lots of Nazis but this article seems to want to sidestep that and talk about mooslims.

Interesting article. I can't imagine why the U.S. would want anything to do with such bumbling buffoons as the Nazis were. Watching movies and Hogan's Heroes, I can't imagine what they could possibly offer us.

Ever notice the appropriate use of the buttstock of a K98 in the X-Men? A few more strokes and Magneto wouldn't be a threat....
