The flier, headlined "The First 'Million Mom March,'" makes a sick joke out of Sunday's Mother's Day demonstrations being staged nationwide by the Million Mom March anti-gun group, and shows grisly, heart-rending photos of Jewish women being executed by Nazis in the Ukraine.

"It's sick," Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League told PAGE SIX. "It's absurd. Anyone who understands what the Holocaust is about understands how ludicrous this argument is. It's so insensitive, I'm shocked."

The flier reads: "Their disarmed husbands were sent to Nazi labor camps. Then these terrified moms, many holding babies, were forced to wait in line before being slaughtered by German soldiers. On May 14, 2000, the so-called 'Million Moms' marched to stop civilians from owning guns. Here's what happens when they get their wish."

The Morris County, N.J. Daily Record reports that some pro-gun Web sites are posting the disturbing photos to promote a rally organized by the Dallas-based Second Amendment Sisters in the Jockey Hollow section of Morristown National Historical Park on Mother's Day, but the group claims it has nothing to do with the offensive ad.

Morris County Republican State Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll, who's speaking at the Second Amendment Sisters rally, admitted: "It is patently unlikely that the U.S. would end up like Nazi Germany if you banned every gun."

Even so, he hedged that with, "but then again, you never know. Like most tyrannies, Nazi Germany started out by taking away a citizen's right to own guns . . . If every person in Nazi Germany had a gun when the storm troopers came to their door, and they took one or two out, it wouldn't have been too long before you had no more storm troopers."

Aaron Zelman, executive director of a group called Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership in Wisconsin, told the Jersey paper he thinks the flier makes a valid point.

"If you study that time period in Germany when many of the gun laws were passed, it was not just against Jews," Zelman insisted. "It was against virtually anyone who was not a member of the Nazi party in good standing. If the people had been armed, and if the people had the will and desire to stand up to the Nazis, then I think it would have had a measurable impact on the Nazis' ability to do what they wanted to do."
