The inclusion of Hitler into the argument doesn’t help or work much. Shortly after WW I ended....the freely elected parliament was scared to death over a possible ‘red revolution’ coming into Germany from the Soviet Union and knowledge that most all of the German troops who came home....brought their weapons with them. It’s at this point that the first gun control episode occurs, and within a decade....a second measure occurs because of the continuing fear of an internal revolution. Hitler and the Nazis....as they come into power in 1932 simply add one more bit of legislation to the bulky program that already exists....namely forcing all gunsmiths to keep accurate records of their repairs, with serial numbers and names of the owners. Gun control in Germany was in full effect before the Nazis arrived.
that’s Good to Know!
