Firearms Registration in Nazi Germany

Typical Nazi bashing as usual...

Hate to break it to you, but it was the Treaty of Versailles and the Weimar Government bringing this kind of registration in. Not Hitler. Not the Nazis.

In fact Hitler loosened many laws that the Weimar Government adopted. 1938 German Weapon Act, look it up. You want to talk about gun control in Germany, how about the gun control that the allies imposed in 1945?

Hitler abolished long gun registry in Germany.

Sorry?

By the way Desert Fox, thanks for posting this photo. A picture is worth a thousand words.

No worries. My Pleasure! :)

I just wished I had the original photograph with a perfect description of who that gentleman was, what year, etc..

Plus, I sure wish it wasn't split into 4 parts for artistic flair... ;) I tried squishing it together in Photoshop and lining everything back up, but it was taking too long and I have other work to do. :D

And lets make this clear. As others have stated before, yes there was military arms control in Deutschland during the Weimar Republik, but citizens were still allowed to own firearms for sporting, hunting, protection purposes. The government entities such as the Reichswehr were limited in weapons, such as no heavy machine guns, no submarines, etc.... Heck, just like in the US, Germany had many pawn shops back in the 20's and 30's (yes, many were run by Jews) and they had firearms for sale in their shops (SHOCK!:eek:)

Don't believe the lie that Hitler made it easier for the plebs to own firearms...
 
I think of all the young men who gave their lives fighting Hitler and the Nazi's for our freedom from oppression and tyranny and think of todays society where the very same thing is repeating itself.
This time their will not be a shot fired. It brings tears to my eyes, how we could ever let it happen after what they gave.

Wow, killer first post. killer first sentense!!!

Explain to me how Hitler abolished long gun registry, considering how this tread is about a picture of someone registering a long gun at the local SS candy shop.

When you end up banned from here, just look at it as your own failed Beer Hall putch, and use the time off to write your book...

The Nazis do get a lot of attention compared to the Soviets, for example, a far more brutal regime but an ally (which is why that murderer Stalin was called "uncle Joe")

In 1917 the Communists arrested and killed people who had STAMP COLLECTIONS.

That is exactly what I was going to say. Thank you.

The Germans of that era certainly did some wrong things, but nothing compared to Stalin and his murderous band of Communists.

Near the end of the war, when my Grandfather left for duty for the last time before he was killed, he gave my Grandmother cyanide pills. He said if the Russians get as far as her town to take them. Far preferable to enduring rape, torture, and being burned alive.

Also, Grandpa had a revolver in the house before and during the war. Wasn't a big deal. In Russia gun possession if found out was a death sentence.

...The Versailles Treaty was the reason the Nazi's came about.

...The treaty was so restrictive that it led to the Great Depression in Europe which spilled over to the rest of the world.

...everything changed over night. They went from scrambling for jobs and food to lots of well paying work and lots of food. Hitler could do no wrong in many eyes. He was a sociopath of course but that wasn't evident at first. Remember, during the years before and after WWI, racism was rampant throughout the world. It was an acceptable practise world wide. Many people on all continents felt Hitler was following the perfect path and supported him financially and in the media.

That sums up what my German Grandmother (who died just 3 years ago) told me first hand.
 
It seems that no matter whichever way you look at it someone will always play the Jew card, or some generic "tyranny" card... never seeing the full picture.

All I was saying was that if you were a legitimate German citizen and you were living in the pre World War 2 era, you would have at least tip your hat for Hitler because he was loosening the gun laws.

....


But since you guys like to shake things up... Hitler was regarded as a great man prior to WW2, until Britain declared war. Then things obviously got ugly, that is usually what happens during war.

Then of course a great western power was defeated, and we let the communists control half of Europe as a result. What kind of a victory is that?

Can't you people see that they were the last nation of our great classic western empire? The kind that didn't suffer from the kind of degeneration we are experiencing today?

Britain destroyed their empire to destroy Germany's with it and I really don't think it was worth it.

I could type up a lengthy retort but I think I will sum it up with "EPIC FAIL".

Somewhere, out there in the great expanse known as the internet, a bridge is looking for its' missing troll.

You are VERY much mistaken. While Germany may have been a great modern and civilized nation, a nation from which modern medicine and modern education was practically born, it fell, and fell hard... and this was well before 1945...

When a country such as Germany that had attained such heights in the 19th and 20th centuries starts reverting back to medieval methods of torture, detainment, theft, murder, brutality, and completely loses its moral compass (considered before the war as one of the most "Christian" nations in Europe) I think we can consider that they were NOT "the last nation of our great classic western empire"

The kind that didn't suffer from the kind of degeneration we are experiencing today?

Ummm... The decadent Germany that rose after the First World War and the atheistic, eugenically minded, state oriented meat grinder that it became can hardly be regarded as great... perhaps monstrously great would better describe Gross Deutschland (Greater Germany) at that point??

I had family who were killed by the Bolsheviks in the Soviet Union, also had family that had all of their land and possessions stolen from them and were forced to come to Canada, and they were all ethnic Germans, and even I can agree that it was a GOOD thing that Uncle Joe helped destroy Nazi Germany.... and I still hate Commies too... ;)

Please learn the FACTS before posting such dribble and perhaps spend less time reading David Irving publications and more time talking to veterans and individuals who walk among us who have numbers tattooed onto their arms...
