[QUOTE="728ups, post: 1344120, member: 33372"] I majored in European History in college and the vast overwhelming contents in this video are simply wrong or have been manipulated . I have no desire to argue point by point on the video,but I am amused at how it lists known "Evil Empires" as the main supporters of gun control. Ok just for fun,I'm a history nerd and cant help myself-The Weimar Republic (this post WW1 government preceded Hitlers Takeover) had much stricter gun laws than Hitlers government in that separate papers were required to own,sell or carry a weapon,and ALL weapons had to be registered with the state in 1938 Hitler signed a sweeping law called the Nazi Weapon Act that deregulated gun ownership, and the purchasing and selling of both guns and ammunition. Party Members were exempt from any restrictions whatsoever regarding gun ownership and the legal age to buy weapons in the Thrid Reich was lowered from 20 to 18( Guns and Marksmanship have been as big,if not a bigger part of German Culture as the USA's) This law forbade Jews,Communists,Freemasons and other "Enemies of the State" to own,purchase or carry weapons but for the average German there simply was NO gun control. Rather, children in the Hitler Jugend(Hitler Youth) were raised to shoot weapons and to be excellent marksmen so that when they reached 20 and were inducted into the Army they would have a familiarity with weapons. try again!!
