Huckabee: It’s the ‘truth’ that Obama on guns is like Nazi dictatorship

• http://www.rawstory.com, By David Ferguson
  According to Media Matters, Huckabee made the remarks in response to a caller on his radio show.

“I’m very concerned,” said the caller, “it seems like there’s so many people who have not read and do not understand how quickly Germany was turned into, it was a democracy, then turned into a dictatorship by everyone having to register their guns and then they went door to door and collected them.”

Rather than correct the caller that in 1938, the Nazi Party loosened gun regulations that had been imposed by the Versailles Treaty in the wake of World War One, lowered the age limit for gun ownership and de-regulated the possession of shotguns and rifles for everyone but Jews, Huckabee chose instead to stoke the caller’s fears.
