Allen, in this particular context, the omitted parts aren’t terribly important. The claim is that Hitler limited guns. He didn’t. He expanded rights in 1933 and then again in 1938 for the vast majority of Germans. By 1938, when the laws went into effect limiting the rights of Jews to own guns, it was the end, not the beginning of the persecution. Their citizenship had already been stripped. Kristallnacht was not the beginning. It was the beginning of the end. By then, guns wouldn’t have made a damn bit of difference. As Dr. Sung Park, my new favorite neurosurgeon would say, no guns dead, guns dead.
