The irony here is that gun control was actually relaxed under National Socialism. It was the Weimar governments who introduced the strict gun control legislation.
Not really irony, that was just a facade. The Germans were under the same depression that the Americans went through. This same facade allowed Hitler to come to absolute power.

No, it's definitely ironic because it is a widely held belief that it was authoritarian Nazis who stripped citizens of their firearms freedoms, when in reality, it was the democratic constitutionalists who did so prior and actually the authoritarians who expanded the liberties after coming to power.

Well I'd say it's more complicated than that but at least, for the purposes of this thread subject, we can agree that gun control legislation was a virtual non-factor in the fate of the Jews.
