Re: Hitler and guns..
Umm, if I remember my 20th century German gun laws correctly (no guarantee I did), Hitler had the MOST permissive private gun ownership laws. Under the Kaiser, there was no private gun ownership (or only the nobility, I forget off the top of my head). Post WW2 German private ownership was very restricted.
During the third reich, German citizens were allowed (IIRC, encouraged) to own guns. Not the Jews, of course, but everyone else.
