JoeySam the Unlicensed Plumber and Rep. Allen West (R-Crazytown): Two Birdbrains of a Feather
Both have made the incredibly stupid, flawed claim that gun control was to blame for the holocaust.

Allen West told a crowd at a campaign stop in 2010 that gun control in Germany was essentially responsible for the Holocaust the same argument made by Joe the Plumber in a video this past week.
"In 1930, there was a gentleman in Germany who took away private gun ownership and you know what happened to that population," West says in the video. "You must be well informed and well armed, because this government we have right now is a tyrannical government."
The statement echoes what Samuel Wurzelbacher (a.k.a. Joe the Plumber) said this week in a campaign video.
"In 1939, Germany established gun control," Wurzelbacher says in his video while loading a gun. "From 1939 to 1945, six million Jews and seven million others, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated."
