That statement has been proven to be false. But here are some good ones:
"Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise."
-- Adolf Hitler - "Mein Kampf" - (1926)
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjected peoples to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non ["something essential" lit. "without which not"] for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police."
--Adolph Hitler, Edict of March 18, 1938
"All military type firearms are to be handed in immediately ...The SS, SA and Stahlhelm give every respectable German man the opportunity of campaigning with them. Therefore anyone who does not belong to one of the above named organizations and who unjustifiably nevertheless keeps his weapon ... must be regarded as an enemy of the national government."
-- SA Oberfuhrer of Bad Tolz, March, 1933.
"Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA - ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State."
--Heinrich Himmler
"If I had my druthers, I'd go further than legislation. I don't wanna see some people with this weapon at all." -Congressman Henry Waxman May 14, 2001 on .50 cal rifles (Further than legislation? )
"If someone is so fearful that, that they're going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, makes me very nervous that these people have these weapons at all!" -Congressman Henry Waxman May 14, 2001 on .50 cal rifles
"I don't think everybody has a right to a weapon that can be used to kill innocent people and maybe threaten the life of a president of the United States." -Congressman Henry Waxman May 14, 2001

Good quotes.....but do you have cites? A quote without a cite is useless.

Only military and law enforcement should have them, after all.
