In 1928, five years before the rise of Hitler, Germany’s freely
elected government enacted a “Law on Firearms and Ammunition.” This
law required anyone who owned a firearm, or who wanted to own a
firearm, to make themselves known to the authorities. Anyone who
wanted to purchase a firearm had to get a “Firearms Acquisition
Permit.” If you needed ammunition, you had to get an “Ammunition
Acquisition Permit.” When you wanted to go hunting, you had to get an
“Annual Hunting Permit.” Every firearm that changed hands
professionally had to have a serial number and the maker’s or dealers
name stamped into the metal. “Proof of need” was made a condition for
issuance of all licenses, not just the carry permit. Mandatory prison
sentences were imposed on anyone who professionally sold or
transferred a firearm or ammunition without a license. Truncheons and
stabbing weapons were subject to the same licensing requirements as
firearms, in terms of their manufacture and sale.
As a result of the 1928 Law, all firearms and firearms owners were
registered. To take firearms from anyone they distrusted, the Nazis
simply did not renew permits. Under the law, their privately created
law, the Nazis could now easily confiscate all firearms and ammunition
from any, or all, selected groups. The gun law of 1928 had served the
Nazis well. It made almost all law abiding firearms owners known to
the authorities. The 1928 law on firearms and ammunition helped the
Nazis to destroy democracy in Germany, by disarming the law abiding
majority, whom they feared.

A right to bear arms is the fundamental right of every law-abiding
person to acquire the means to protect themselves even from their own
government. One of the first things a government does when it wants to
control its citizenry is to control their access to the weapons they
need to defend themselves.
