Matt - what is the primary source for your comment? Everything I can find on this subject indicates that Hitler never said that (or anything similar), and that in fact the Nazis inherited restrictive gun laws from the previous democratic Weimar government. The Nazis did not enact new gun restrictions until 1938 (outlawing silencers & hollow point ammo, adding an age requirement of 18, and outlawing Jewish gun ownership after Kristallnacht). By that point in time they already had overwhelming popular support.
Why are you so prone to just accept such fantasies?
