I think it's also useful to point out that gun control in Germany was begun by the government that preceded the National Socialists, the Weimar Republic, and their intentions were probably good, though horribly misguided. They started it, and then the National Socialists perfected and used it.
Those who like to debate with anti-gun bigots should study this piece of history in depth, because liberal propagandists have been saying that it was not the National Socialists that disarmed their citizens, and liberal propagandists are masters of deceit, so patriots who want to go on deprogramming missions need to be well armed with all the details of the truth. The book Death by Gun Control, by JPFO is a good start.
