TOLEDO, Ohio — The Ohio congressional candidate known as “Joe the Plumber” is running a campaign video in which he suggests that Nazi gun controls contributed to deaths during the Holocaust because Jews didn’t have firearms to defend themselves.

The ad drew strong rebukes from Democrats and Jewish organizations.

In the video, Samuel Wurzelbacher loads a shotgun and fires at lemons and tomatoes placed on wooden posts. “In 1939, Germany established gun control,” he says. “From 1939 to 1945, six million Jews and seven million others, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated,” he says before ending the video by saying “I love America.”

Gun control opponents have long held that Adolf Hitler was able to seize power in Germany in part because of controls on firearms.

The NRA has been playing that card for years, nothing new really. Just goes to show you PJ is just a puppet of the NRA.

What card?

The fact that gun control laws have disarmed law abiding citizens and led to the death of millions?

Yep, it happened.

F the NRA! Look it up for yourself.
