I think he has a somewhat point about gun control.
There were uprisings, Like the Warsaw uprisings. Around 8,000 Polish rebels and some 200,000 civilians were killed. But also around 8,000 German soldiers. More guns may have meant more of this. Nobody would willingly go to their death without a fight.. After the first few years people had an inkling what the regime was up to.
Hitler wasn't likely to Blitzkrieg the Jewish ghettos in Germany. Even if he did, that would have meant fewer tanks and soldiers on both front lines which would have given the allies a bigger advantage and we may have been able to push quicker and harder.
It may have not stopped the genocide but armed uprisings/terrorist events within the third reich would have at least helped the allies a great deal with their counter attack. Therefore shortening the war, therefore reducing the number of people gassed
And I don't think it is stupid to discuss this issue and branding Carson a racist/idiot rather than discuss the merits of his argument (Which is all I've read - denouncement not discussion) is idiocy.
I wouldn't vote for him though.
