But it's worth noting that the Germans were concerned enough about an armed populace that the first thing they did when conquering a town was to collect the locals' guns. Photo from Halbrook's 'Gun Control in Nazi-Occupied France: Tyrany and Resistance.'pic.twitter.com/EiPieMiLrD
There's an irony here in that the cities like NYC where I live that have stronger regulations on gun ownership are also the nation's primary bulwarks against tyranny. Today's tyrants don't worry about armed citizens, they worry about independent media and free elections.
