[Bonaparte]

The 1938 Weapons Law was the first gun legislation enacted by the nazis. It actually put more guns into German hands, exempting members of the nazi party from all restrictions while forbidding Jews, communists, etc from owning them at all. By then, most of Germany was in the nazi party.

Private gun ownership had already been virtually banned.

Even if granting what you said, it has little bearing on a law that attacks one type of gun.
