Got a letter to the Editor published in the Record on 10/19/15 on Ben Carson,guns and the Holocaust.

Got a letter to the Editor published in the Record( the largest newspaper in Northern New Jersey) on 10/19/15 on a reply to piece by Alfred Doblin, "Ben Carson spews dangerous rhetoric about the Holocaust" publish on 12/10/15.
This is what I wrote:" Ben Carson is like Richard Wagner's music: it's not as bad as it sounds. Carson, not being a polished politician, may not give good sound bites. However, if one listens to him for any length of time, one is impressed with his intelligence.
I think Editorial Page Editor Alfred P. Doblin got two thing wrong in his column. One, undoubtedly, is that if Jews has guns, many in Nazi Germany would have been saved. One cannot help but think that if the Jews had been better armed during the Warsaw ghetto uprising, it might have succeeded.
Second, Doblin is wrong about the Founding Fathers.
They believed the right to bear arms was a way the people could protect themselves from tyrannical government."
