Gun Control Under Hitler [View all]
In 1938, Hitler revised Germany's gun laws from 1928. In the revisions, Jewish people were barred from gun ownership, but gun rights were otherwise expanded.
I believe this information is important for historical accuracy and for the ongoing "debate." Let' s not give Alex Jones a free pass when he throws in Hitler as an example of gun control amounting to tyranny.
According to information from Professor of Law Bernard E. Harcourt of the University of Chicago, "revisions completely deregulated the acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, as well as ammunition."
They also "extended the number of groups of people who were exempt from the acquisition permit requirement."
Lastly, in terms of the non-Jewish related revisions, third and fourth revisions "lowered the age for the acquisition of firearms" and "extended the period that a permit to carry was valid."
A much more detailed outline of the revisions (starting on page 20) is included in the source itself. http://www.law.uchicago.edu/files/files/harcourt_fordham.pdf
I simply wanted this information to be available. Don't attack me for providing a source.
