Liberals/Socialist really are crazy. They act like we don’t know history.

The Wehrmacht banned all guns in 1928. In 1934, the Nazis used gun control to jail any ‘dissenters’ who opposed their regime. In 1938, they removed some of the gun control restrictions for the NAZI PARTY and banned all weapons for the Jews.

And then Kristallnacht happened a few months later.

Socialists behave like Socialists no matter what country or era they come from.

This is almost true, but not quite.

As an aside, the restrictive gun laws of the Weimer Republic are instructive, because one of the reasons they were tightened was to reduce the pervasive street violence between the NASDAP and Communists in the 1920's and 1930's.

Predictably, they failed.

In addition, the following qualifier moots many of the liberal claims that Hitler was a firearms libertarian; that firearms were proscribed for those "known to be engaged in activities hostile to the state;" Note that there is no consideration of Due Process in depriving German citizens (forget about the Jews, their RKBA was already disposed of) of their right to self-defense, nor was even any specific transgression required. All that was needed was that a German be "known" to be engaged in "activities."

By Nazi standards, everyone on this site is engaged in activities hostile to the state.
