The AMERICAN Rightist Myth of Nazi Gun Control - More Twisted Gunloon Lies.....

“But Hitler and Stalin took away the guns and look what happened!”

This argument is historically inaccurate. University of Chicago law 
professor Bernard Harcourt explained in his 2004 paper, Weimar 
Germany had tougher gun laws than Nazi Germany. Hitler expanded 
private gun ownership. It is true that Gypsies and Jews were not 
permitted to own guns, but there is no basis for the belief that 
these two groups would have stopped the Holocaust had they been 
armed. If anything, it would have “hastened their demise” according 
to Robert Spitzer, Chair of SUNY-Cortland’s political science 
department. Hitler was extremely popular among the German people and 
throughout the world. To suggest that the only thing keeping Hitler 
in power was control of guns exonerates the many who supported him. 
The same is true of the Bolsheviks in Soviet Russia: the idea that an 
armed populace would have stopped Stalin is a fantasy. Like Hitler, 
Stalin was extremely popular.

The Nazi gun control argument is counterfactual history argument 
claiming that gun regulations in the Third Reich rendered victims of 
the Holocaust weaker to such an extent that they could have more 
effectively resisted oppression if they had been armed or better 
armed.[1][2] Various mainstream sources describe the argument as 
historically "dubious",[3] "questionable",[4] "preposterous,"[5] 
"tendentious",[2] and "problematic".[1]
This argument is prevalent and primarily used within U.S. gun 
politics. Questions about its validity, and about the motives behind 
its inception, have been raised by scholars. Proponents in the United 
States have used it as part of a "security against tyranny" argument, 
while opponents have referred to it as a form of Reductio ad 
Hitlerum.[6]

Background and formation[edit]
Few citizens owned, or were entitled to own firearms in Germany in 
the 1930s.[1] The Weimar Republic had strict gun control laws.[7] 
When the Third Reich gained power, some aspects of gun regulation 
were loosened, such as allowing ownership for Nazi party members and 
the military.[4]:672 The laws were tightened in other ways. Nazi laws 
disarmed "unreliable" persons, especially Jews, but relaxed 
restrictions for "ordinary" German citizens.[4]:670,676 The policies 
were later expanded to include the confiscation of arms in occupied 
countries.[8]:533,536
According to gun rights activist Neal Knox, the Nazi gun control 
theory was first suggested by Jay Simkin and Jews for the 
Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) founder Aaron S. Zelman in 
a book they published in 1992. In it, they compared the German gun 
laws of 1928 and 1938, and the U.S. Congressional hearings for what 
became the Gun Control Act of 1968.[9][10]
In a 2000 article, author and attorney Stephen Halbrook said that he 
was presenting "the first scholarly analysis of the use of gun 
control laws and policies to establish the Hitler regime and to 
render political opponents and especially German Jews 
defenseless."[8]:485 In the article, he cites an Adolf Hitler quote: 
"the most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow 
the subject races to possess arms."
