Not only was that not a quote by Hitler, nor in Mein Kampf, but it was falsely attributed to Hitler in a book titled Willfully Ignorant. Oh, the rich irony.
The facts are that Hitler did the exact opposite. He did not gradually chip away at human rights, he consolidated power and removed them relatively quickly.
This seems to be the way Trumpettes operate. Throw crap against the wall, hoping nobody will check the facts.
In your effort to bash, you completely missed the point. No, the quote is not verbatim but the OPs point stands.

Meanwhile, there could be hundreds of women who are assaulted and/or killed because they couldn't purchase a gun quickly enough to defend themselves from an angry ex.

I bashed a lie, of course it's not verbatim because it's not a quote, and it did not support his claim. In fact, it is in complete disagreement of the OP's claim that freedom is chipped away bit by bit, piece by piece. The Nazis moved very quickly once in power.
Tell me this - how many attacks from Islamists who are here legally will happen before The Drifter and his ilk start calling for gun control measures for Muslim citizens? Are you going to tell me with a straight face it's an impossible notion?

Sure, we pretend to care. We all have our "thoughts and prayers" on auto-reply. Like that does any good.
We have long ago surrendered. We just hope it doesn't touch us or someone we know. And if it does - tough [bleep]. Better luck next time. The cost of freedom. Whatever.
It's better to be able to kill deer than to not be able to kill people. Children even.
So - man up! No one said living in America was going to be easy.

See you are part of the problem. You aren't offering enough thoughts and prayers and blaming those poor innoccent guns.
What is needed is more brave nra funded politicians who are quick to twitter to remind us idiots to offer our thoughts and prayers so it doesn't happen again.

Idiots running around with guns and shooting people up is freedom? Id say not having to worry about that is real freedom

Praying for many people is a legitimate course-of-action. It doesn't mean that's all people do to resolve the situation, but it's something they feel is a necessity.

Murders in Aussieland were almost nonexistent before your draconian law, they are still almost nonexistent today. Every scholarly paper on your society agrees that your buy back and confiscation had no provable impact on your already low crime rate. You gave up your rights for nothing.Gun control actually gives you more freedom. Hey i dont need to carry a gun around in fear like you guys do. People potentially shooting you doesn't even cross your mind. You would like it may ease your paranoia
