Hitler Joins Gun Debate, but History Is in Dispute. According to the article: Advocates who cite Hitler in the current U.S. debate overlook that Jews in 1930s Germany were a very small population, owned few guns before the Nazis took control, and lived under a dictatorship commanding overwhelming public support and military might, historians say. While it doesn’t fit neatly into the modern-day gun debate, they say, the truth is that for all Hitler’s unquestionably evil acts, his firearms laws likely made no difference in Jews’ very tenuous odds of survival. During the holocaust Nazis slaughtered over six million Jews throughout Europe. And yet we are to believe that it would have made no difference if even a small portion of those victims had taken a National Socialist or two with them.
