Are you sure you're not a politician instead of a teacher?I read your post and still don't know what you said.

Gun control was a part of German politics years before Hitler arrived on the scene. He did extend pre-Reich rules, but not until 1938 - after the introduction of other stringent anti-Jewish laws. Confiscation of weapons was certainly secondary to the confiscation of other rights. I am pretty confident that you would not have seen a mass uprising if there still were still guns - the population was simply too spread out & small, and they were pretty well cowed by the civil restraints in place.

A couple other points: 6 million Jews, of which roughly 250,000 lived in Germany before Hitler. The poster I was responding to implied plural countries or races. Is there another one, other than German Jews, who might have been saved by holding on to their guns more tightly?

Let me know what in my post confused you. I'd be happy to elaborate.
