I love the revisionist propaganda that University of Chicago law professor Bernard Harcourt (nope, not a historian) loosely applied to what happened under the Nazis in respect to firearm ownership. This is the "study" idiots like Jo(ke) regurgitate, the so called study that claims German gun laws were massively "relaxed" for all German "citizens", if one actually looks at the law this is not really so easy a generalization. The devil is in the details..........
It allowed most German citizens, who were not Jews or other persecuted classes (millions of those) to own a rifle or a shotgun only once their application for a permit was approved, all it took was the approving official to deny an application was dislike of the applicant and/or hearsay accusations of the applicant not being a "trustworthy" citizen.
