Joe Offer: I think you miss the point. The gun owners' argument is not that taking away guns is evil because tne Nazis allegedly did it, but that an armed populace is a guaranty of freedom and that "tyrants," like the Nazis, realize this and so will always take people's guns away. Several people above have stated that this argument is mistaken, and I agree. But because this is the argument, the facts are important and the point is not frivolous.

Doug R: It appears probable that there are no documents in the archives saying that the Nazis did, or did not take the guns away. That isn't conclusive, because presumably documents disappeared in the confusion at the end of the War, or could have been suppressed. But the absence of witnesses actually stating that guns were taken would be conclusive.
