Members of the media can't seem to grasp reality when their Republican guests are talking sense about gun control. And this week, Ben Carson confounded the "wise" of our moral betters as he made the rounds on network news.

In his latest book, A More Perfect Union, Carson proposed that Nazi Germany might have had a tougher time enslaving the Jews had they held onto their guns. He wrote:

German citizens were disarmed by their government in the late 1930s, and by the mid-1940s, Hitler's regime had mercilessly slaughtered sis million Jews and numerous others whom they considered inferior… Through a combination of removing guns and disseminating deceitful propaganda, the Nazis were able to carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance.

When CNN's Wolf Blitzer read that passage on air, he wondered if Carson meant that the Holocaust wouldn't have happened if the Jews had guns. 

"My point is, that was only one of the countries I mentioned," Carson responded. "There were a number of countries where tyranny reigned. And before it happened, they disarmed the people. That was the point."

Yet, Blitzer was unable to wrap his mind around the thought, interjecting, "But just clarify: if there had been no gun control laws in Europe at that time, would six million Jews have been slaughtered?"

Carson reiterated his belief that Hitler's goals would have been "greatly diminished if the people had been armed."

Blitzer, still dumbfounded, continues saying, "Because they had a powerful military machine, as you know, the Nazis… they could've simply gone in, and they did go in, and wipe out whole communities."

"But you realize there was a reason that they took the guns, right?" Carson calmly asked.

And then there was his appearance on ABC's Good Morning America, in which George Stephanopoulos asked about this passage in Carson's book. The host wanted comments to the accusations by the Anti-Defamation League who said the statement about guns and the holocaust is "historically inaccurate and offensive." Carson had to explain to Stephanopoulos that whenever tyranny has reigned in history, the people were disarmed first.

But Stephanopoulos was also interested in another passage in A More Perfect Union he believed contradicted what the Republican presidential candidate has been suggesting how potential victims should behave during mass shootings:

Stephanopoulos: So did you really tell a gunman to point the gun at someone else?

Carson: I just told them, 'I don't think you want me, I think you want the guy behind the cash register.' Because he was clearly there to rob the place. He wasn't going to rob it with me.

Stephanopoulos: But that seems to run counter to the advice you were giving earlier this week to people who might confront a gunman now, which would be to run after them, to chase them. To bring them down.

Carson: Completely incorrect. Those are not analogous situations. Somebody is there to rob the place and is going to move on, versus somebody who is sequentially murdering people. Completely different. And it may be that you can't understand that having not lived on the streets. But [laughs] that's a very easy distinction for me.

Stephanopoulos doubted the validity of Carson's experience from 30 years ago because there is no police record of the incident. (And George was there?)

Then the conversation shifted to the latest shooting at Northern Arizona University, leading Stephanopoulos to ask incredulously, "Are more guns really the answer?"

Carson defended himself against the media:

You know, one of the problems with people and the media is they pick one little thing and they say that that's your philosophy on this, which is a bunch of crap! You know, we are sophisticated individuals and it's going to be a multi-factorial solution to this.

Meanwhile, the Huffington Post was so sure that Carson's assessment was full of holes, they published an image of a Jew hanging dead after having shot at the Germans. So, see?!

Battling the media is somewhat of a pastime for Carson. In early 2014, he was, once again, on CNN and having to "clarify" some comparisons he made to Nazi Germany. His takedown in this clip is epic! Enjoy!
