I believe that the Nazis were Socialists (left), the Russians Bolsheviks (also left). Socialist want gun control, so did Bolsheviks. They all took freedoms from their citizens. The Nazis wrote the book on gun control, from which our 1968 GUN CONTROL LAWS were taken mostly VERBATUM.
Did you know that the Gun Control Act of 1968 was taken almost word for word from the Nazi's Gun Control Act of 1938?
Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) has an article about it.
