Theres actually a whole Wikipedia article about that specific argument explaining how historians tend to think it is pretty terrible, so he went beyond just dinging the "Hitler" bell. |
I wasn't even aware of that being a thing, very interesting read that wiki article, so Hitler put laws in place for gypsies and jews to have difficulty in getting guns because he was aware that if you make it harder for people to get guns then they are less likely to have guns to start shooting at you/each other.
It's kinda sad to think that he was more on the ball with how gun control would work to prevent shootings of his people.
Article is fairly cool as well when it goes into the sheer numbers and power that the German and then Nazi army had in comparison to the possible amount of power you could have ever mustered against that force if you had armed each Jew and Gypsy in the state at the time considering they made up less than 1% of the population and the general population at the time was very pro Nazi, the only differences of arming them would have been them being shot on the streets or shot premptively instead of being able to gather them up into camps. Just that it would never have been a factor in stopping Hitler if civilian jewish people would have had 1940s era pistols Vs the military power of the 3rd Reich.
Thanks for the link though, I love a good study on history / revisionist history to try to back up a modern day argument.
