4. I thought the gun worshipers had shut up about Hitler

Now they are doubling down. How did Hitler take guns away from Polish Jews before he conquered Poland and how would they have gotten guns once he did.

"When a well-known conservative commentator decried efforts to restrict guns, he argued that if only Jews in Poland had been better armed, many more would have survived the Holocaust."

The article's author left the gun nuts an argument by using weak language.
"the truth is that for all Hitler's unquestionably evil acts, his firearms laws likely made no difference in Jews' very tenuous odds of survival."

Think about what he said. First he implies by his first clause that Hitler did evil things and that one of them could have been the firearms laws and that second the evil firearms laws probably didn't kill many Jews because they likely wouldn't have survived anyway. This is after the author has already let the gun nut erroneously attribute Polish laws to Hitler.
