Correct, but they certainly were unable to stop a genocide.
But, it would be different in the US...because...um...because.
The vast majority of people killed in holocaust did not put up a fight, not one bit. They just let the nazis take them, MG them to death or gas therm to death. Like sheep, they had no weapons and they had no choice. Made it very easy and smooth for the nazis to kill 10 million people.
Imagine if they did putt up a fight every time the nazis came and collected people for the trains
Or lets the extend the Jewish example to post WW2.
A few lightly armed Jews were able to stop all the arab armies from driving them into the sea. Sure the arabs werent the nazi army but imagine the outcomne if those Jews didnt have a few itty bitty guns.
Or how about Bosnia, we know what happend there if the villagers had no guns and were left to the mercy of the Serbian army..
Finally lets extend it to just you and your family, your wife, yiur children. Lets say they came for you one day, and you knew what was going to happend. Would you rather have the chance to shoot the sons of *****es, regardless of what the outcome is, or would you prefer to be unarmed that moment and happily lead your family like sheep to the slaughter? How would you confront them at the door of your home, with somber dignity resigned to your fate or with a loaded gun determined to do the right thing, to stand up for human decency to the last..
Think about that..
Is any one man going to stop an army? Probably not. But does any one man have the power to stop a one sided slaughther of sheep when they come for him or his family, maybe, even if they just go out of this world on their feet and not their knees..
