I wish pro-gun fanatics would stop peddling this lie. It was probably started by the NRA.

But nonetheless, the Nazi Government abolished many of the stringent gun control laws that were put in place under the Weimar Republic. Eventually, the only form of regulation they had applied to handguns, and that was only the required permit. Their laws were more relaxed than our's. Guns didn't save them from tyranny.
