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.

So the fact that two states decided to implement a gun registration system via their respective legislatures is the closest we are to Nazi Germany?
