New Gun Regulations In The US Would Be Really, Really Stupid

[popeyespappy]

Plenty of Zyklon B left over from previous rabid gun-lovers.

Germany had fairly restrictive gun laws prior to the Nazis taking over. Licensing, registration, that kind of thing. Beginning in 1933, shortly after the National Socialists took over, The Gestapo forbad issuing new permits to Jews and revoked previously issued ones. German authorities then began raiding Jewish homes and confiscating their guns. Licensed gun owners with registered firearms were the first targeted in these raids.

Among others, Albert Einstein's summer home was raided although no guns were found there. This raid was the catalyst that led to Einstein renouncing his German citizenship. Later in 1933 Einstein would leave the mainland for England where he spent some time in an isolated cottage outside of London where Locker-Lampson and some associates stood armed guard in case the Germans should try to kill him.



In 1938 Germany passed some new gun laws. These made it easier for party members and members of many official Nazi organizations like the Hitler youth to obtain guns. Most non-party affiliated Germans were unaffected by the new laws, but they did make it illegal for gypsies, homosexuals and other groups of people deemed less than desirable to own them.

Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm pretty sure the Jews, gypsies, and homosexuals who had recently been disarmed and weren't lucky enough to get out of Europe were the people that later ended up in the gas chambers.
