Read the article posted by Sunnybean and you will find that Nazi gun control was central to Hitler's thinking. You will discover that even .22 rimfire ammo became restricted...as well bolt action rifles with 5 round clips and shotguns were prohibited...anyone deemed to be outside the ruling party NO GUNS...and you will also find that most of the gun confiscation resulted from executive action rather than passage of laws...
Is history repeating itself?
