That depends, is this video recently popping up on conservative websites? That tells the whole story. Comparing America to Germany 70 years ago is a worn out panic mongering technique. America isn't Germany, never will be. RW media pulled the same trick comparing the American economy to Greece. OMG!!!!....we're gonna be Greece soon! Stop being so paranoid.
You're making assumptions. Which gun laws aren't enforced? Please tell me. It is known that certain cops don't enforce gun laws they don't agree with. Everyone agrees that people have the right to own a gun based on the constitution. That isn't changing. Have a gun at home or five for self defense. No one cares about that. The problem is the lack of laws that make it easy for people to get guns when they shouldn't be able to get them. Even the terrorist in Orlando was able to pass a background check, even though being on the FBI radar. The laws are enforced, the problem is that the laws are too weak. But that's what the NRA likes, because otherwise they lose profits.
A lot of cops are conservative and against any laws for guns because of the tyrannical government. Many are former military (which is a bad situation given PTSD). A cop will not enforce certain gun laws they don't agree with. Regardless if it's against their job requirement.
You asked for proof/source, I provided it. One of many. The same people who hate any gun laws are in LE. And those people will choose to deliberately ignore the law, especially if it's that evil liberal Obama law. I don't lie, I'm an atheist. It's a pinnacle of our ideology. We are defenders of the secular constitution. We don't want religion in politics or government. Keep it at home and in your church.
Mostly, the confederate flag thing is it's "remembering great grandpa" for most of the south. In a time where nearly everyone was racist to some degree (much more so that now), the racist flag argument is invalid. They were neither more racist or less racist than the north at the time. Anyway, I'm tired of the mental midgets having the day. If you are seriously miffed about a flag you need to get a head check.
KKK's views on Hitler are largely revisionist, and pretty inconsequential. Hitler wasn't really a bigot or racist and like most cults of personality you need a demon to scare the locals and he just picked greedy Jewish bankers and other undesirables. It mostly gave him grounds to seize money to fill up the war chest, so don't think it goes too deep.
Most of the white power groups are what as known as "alt-right" which is hardly representative of the bulk of right-wing views. Most of the right wing proper rejects racism, or discrimination of any kind. The right wing doesn't embrace the totalitarianism that would be required to make a new Hitler out of Trump, so invalid argument. Anyway, the right-wing in our country is pro-gun rights and this is about the first thing Nazi Germany would prevent. The ideological separation couldn't be larger.
All political movements have their warts, and if we want to get into it is easy to find them on the left-wing as well. Left-wing movements tend to gravitate people toward laziness, dependency, and equality. Equality was a big thing for Hitler, at least with anyone he cared for - he destroyed the rich, the poor, and made working compulsory. Social programs like free healthcare, and free income were big favorites for him too. With Hitler, you had free vehicles, homes, cash, babysitting, and nearly anything else. You got food with a coupon, and if you ever screwed up you were intimidated by Gestapo to rat on other people. You basically had everything you could want, as long as you were happy to become a Marxist, sell your soul to the devil and ignore all of the people he was killing. (Mentally disabled, old, gay, and anyone that wouldn't work.)
Okay, these have to be some of the dumbest things I've read on here in a while, and that's really saying something. I'm not even going to bother refuting your nonsense point by point, because you'll just ignore it like you always do when I tear apart your nonsense.

Sure, it's real and your behavior is a good example of it.
There is no "gun show" loophole or whatever crap the media is on about either. Even private sales require you to register the sale on the State Police website and get a transaction number as well as do a transfer background check. The transfer is not considered lawful without the transaction number or approval number. So yes, we have it pretty hard to get guns for legal reasons. I filed my paperwork for FOID (our firearm card) last month and still do not have it. I've never been in trouble with anyone or for anything, so yes it just prevents good people from getting their guns for lawful purposes in any reasonable time.
