ROGER SIMON: You Didn’t Need to Apologize for Your Holocaust Talk, Ben.

Indeed. As Sean Davis of the Federalist wrote on Monday:

The progressive response to Carson is illustrative: deep down they know that Nazi gun confiscation during the Holocaust poses something of a problem for those who wish to institute gun confiscation regimes today. Defending forced gun confiscations in theory (“fewer guns means less violence!”) is a lot easier than defending forced gun confiscations in practice. So instead of being faced with either defending Hitler’s gun confiscation regime or acknowledging that Carson’s underlying point was correct, they chose to gaslight him.

Though perhaps deep down, some of Carson’s critics would have preferred sealed vans.
