"and even the very same term "enhanced interrogation techniques" - "verschaerfte Vernehmung" in the original German - were once prosecuted by American forces as war crimes. The perpetrators were the Gestapo. "

I was going to quote that very same sentence fragment.

That angers me but doesn't surprise me, considering this country started implementing Nazi laws forty years ago. The Gun Control Act of 1968 is almost a word-for-word translation of the Nazi Firearms Law of 1938. Incidentally, that's where the idea that "hunting" and "sporting purposes" are the test for who can own guns comes from.
