Ben Carson Said The Holocaust Would Have Been Less Likely If Jews Had Been Armed

Ben Carson took another shot to suggest that guns should be permitted for all on Thursday, when he suggested that the Holocaust "would have been less likely to happen" if the Jews had been armed.

Adressing CNN's  Wolf Blitzer in an interview, he believed that he thought "the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed."

Other controversial and heavily slammed statements from Carson include comparing the U.S. to Nazi Germany and ISIS to the Founding Fathers.

But this statement was issued when Blitzer read out a passage from a book written by Carson's, "A More Perfect Union," which was released last Tuesday.

Carson had written that "through a combination of removing guns and disseminating propaganda, the Nazis were able to carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance."

Countervening Carson's statement, Blitzer said that Nazi's upper hand with their army ensured it.. "They had a powerful military machine, as you know, the Nazis," the host said, according to the New York Daily News.

However, Carson riposted: "I understand that. I'm telling you that there is a reason that these dictatorial people take the guns first."

However, the Anti-Defamation League , has drawn attention to the historical inaccuracies of Carson's statement.

"Ben Carson has a right to his views on gun control, but the notion that Hitler's gun-control policy contributed to the Holocaust is historically inaccurate," said ADL National Director Jonathan Greenblatt. He went on to point out to a 2013 press release about Nazi analogies in the gun control debate.

"The small number of personal firearms available to Germany's Jews in 1938 could in no way have stopped the totalitarian power of the Nazi German state," Greenblatt added.
