re: #29 Dark_Falcon

Shotguns have never been as popular in Europe as they are here and the bolt action rifles common in Germany in those days weren’t useful for crime nor were they good weapons for an insurgent unless that insurgent was a very good shot (bolt-action rifles are still useful for insurgent sharpshooters to this day).

be that as it may, nazi gun laws, so far from being more restrictive than american laws, were in fact more permissive

Gun restriction laws applied only to handguns, not to long guns or ammunition. […] “The 1938 revisions completely deregulated the acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, as well as ammunition.”

yet somehow i don’t think the german people at this time were more free than us
