We were putting people in concentration camps in 1942, too, weren't we.

Another point of twisted logic is the whole purpose of the 2nd amendment. The obvious statement is that the people, or at least some of them, be armed, but to what end. To some, it seems to be so that we can violently overthrow government (presumably any government), while the conservatives among us believe it is to prevent the overthrow of the government.

That's just another way to look at it.
