re: Gun Control in Nazi Germany

What's the biggest similarity between gun control in the Third Reich and the gun control scheme in the present-day United States?

That's actually a good question. I'm a big 2nd Amendment guy. But I hate when people compare what the Nazi's did to what's going on here in America.

NOW... I will say this: What's going on in CT and NY (gun registration) is eerily similar to the way Germany had a restriction on guns and registration prior to Hitler gaining power. If memory serves me correct, Hitler's only gun law was banning them from Jews. I could be wrong though.

The other issue I have with registration is the fact that the wrong people know what I have. The government is never something one should trust fully. If you trust the government without exception, you're a fricking moron. Sorry, but you are.

Some of you are here...

The problem with that type of registration is in the hands of a corrupt government (e.g. The United States Government) it could lead to some issues down the road.

Now, we aren't ANYWHERE near what Germany was pre-WWII. There are so many guns here that trying to outright ban them would cause some minor issues. Mostly the police would be sent into hostile environment and I fear many would be killed over it.

The good news is that an outright ban would never be implemented here. Much to the chagrin of Utopian liberal philosophies.
