Gun Control in Germany, 1928-1945

A common belief amongdefenders of the Second Amendmentto the U.S. Constitution is that theNational Socialist government ofGermany under Adolf Hitler did notpermit the private ownership offirearms. Totalitarian governments,they have been taught in their highschool civics classes, do not trust theircitizens and do not dare permit themto keep firearms. Thus, one oftenhears the statement, "You know, thefirst thing the Nazis did when theycame to power was outlaw firearms,"or, "The first thing Hitler did in Ger­many was round up all the guns."

One can understand why manyAmerican gun owners want to believethis. They see in the current effort oftheir own government to take awaytheir right to keep and bear arms alimitation of an essential element oftheir freedom and a move towardtyranny, and they want to characterizethe gun-grabbers in the most negativeway they can. Adolf Hitler has beenvilified continuously for the past 60years or so by the mass media inAmerica, and certainly no politicianor officeholder wants to be comparedwith him. If the gun-confiscation ef­fort can be portrayed convincingly assomething of whieh Hitler wouldhave approved. it will have been ef­fectively tarred.

This identification of the inclina­tion to deny citizens the right to keepand bear arms with NationalSocialism and Adolf Hitler has beenstrengthened recently by clevermagazine advertisements whichshow Hitler with his arm outstretchedin a Roman salute under a heading:"All in favor of gun control raise yourright hand." A Jewish group, Jews forthe Preservation of Firearms Owner­ship (JPFO), quite noisy for its size,has been especially zealous inpromoting the idea that the currentgun-control effort in America has itsroots in Germany during the Hitlerperiod. This group has gone so far as

by William L. Pierceto claim in several articles publishedin popular magazines read byfirearms enthusiasts that the currentrestrictive legislation being proposedby the U.S. government ismodeled ona gun-control statute enacted byGermany's National Socialistgovernment: the German WeaponsLaw (Waffengesetz) of March 18,1938.

Again, one can understand themotivation of the JPFO. Many non­Jewish firearms owners are wellaware that the movement to restricttheir rights is led and promotedprimarily by Jews, and ami-Jewishfeeling has been growing amongthem. They know that the controllednews media, which arc almost unani­mously in favor of abridging. orabolishing the Second Amendment,are very much under the influence ofJews, and they know that the mostvocal anti-gun legislators in the Con­gress also are Jews. It is natural for agroup such as the JPFO to mount adamage-control effort and auempt toprevent anti-Jewish feeling from be­com ing even stronger among gunowners. Their strategy is to deflect theblame from their kinsmen in themedia and the government and directit onto their most haled enemies, theNational Socialists--or at least to ere­ate enough smoke to obscure the factsand keep the gun-owning public con­fused.

Unfortunately for those who wouldlike to link Hitler and the NationalSocialists with gun control, the entirepremise for such an effort is false.German firearms legislation underHitler, far from banning privateownership, actually facilitated thekeeping and bearing of arms by Ger­man citizens by eliminating orameliorating restrictive laws whichhad been enacted by the governmentpreceding his: a left-center govern­ment which had contained a numberof Jews.

It is not just that the NationalSocialist firearms legislation was theopposite of what it has been claimedto have been by persons who want totar modem gun-grabbers with the"Nazi" brush: the whole spirit ofHitler's government was starkly dif­ferent from its portrayal by America'smass media. The facts, in brief, arethese:

• The National Socialist govern­ment of Germany, unlike the govern­ment in Washington today, did notfear its citizens. Adolf Hiller was themost popular leader Germany hasever had. Unlike American presi­dents, he did not have to wear bodyarmor and have shields of bulletproofglass in front of him whenever hespoke in public. At public celebra­tions he rode standing in an open caras it moved slowly through cheeringcrowds. Communists made severalattempts to assassinate him, and hisgovernment stamped down hard oncommunism, virtually wiping it out inGermany. Between upright, law­abiding German citizens and AdolfHitler, however, there was a real loveaffair, with mutual trust and respect.

• The spirit of National Socialismwas one of manliness, and individualself-defense and self-reliance werecentral to the National Socialist viewof the way a citizen should behave.The notion of banning fi rearmsownership was utterly alien to Na­tional Socialism. In the Germanuniversities, where NationalSocialism gained itsearliest footholdsand which later became its strongestbastions, dueling was an acceptedpractice. Although the liberal-Jewishgovernments in Germany after theFirst World War attempted to bandueling. it persisted illegally until itwas again legalized by the NationalSocialists. Fencing. target shooting,and other martial arts were immense­ly popular in Germany, and the Na­tional Socialists encouraged youngGermans to become proficient in

these activities, believing that theywere important for the developmentof a man's character.

• Gun registration and licensing(for long guns as well as for hand­guns) were legislated by an anti-Na­tional Socialist government inGermany in 1928, five years beforethe National Socialists gained power.Hitler became Chancellor on January30, 1933. Five years later his govern­ment got around to rewriting the gunlaw enacted a decade earlier by hispredecessors, substantially ameliora­ting it in the process (for example,long guns were exempted from therequirement for a purchase permit;the legal age for gun ownership waslowered from 20 to 18 years; theperiod of validity of a permit to carryweapons was extended from one tothree years; and provisions restrictingthe amount of ammunition or thenumber of firearms an individualcould own were dropped). Hitler'sgovernment may be criticized forleaving certain restrictions and licens­ing requirements in the law, but theNational Social ists had no intention ofpreventing law-abiding Germansfrom keeping orbearing arms. Again,the firearms law enacted by Hitler'sgovernment enhanced the rights ofGermans to keep and bear arms; nonew restrictions were added, andmany pre-existing restrictions wererelaxed or eliminated.

• At the end of the Second WorldWar, American GIs in the occupyingforce were astounded to discover howmany German civilians ownedprivate fi rearms. Tens of thousands ofpistols looted from German homes byGIs were brought back to the UnitedStates after the war. In 1945 GeneralEisenhower ordered all privatelyowned firearms in the American oc­cupation zone of Germany confis­cated, and Germans were required tohand in their shotguns and rifles aswell as any handguns which had notalready been stolen. In the Soviet oc­cupation zone German civilians weresummarily shot if they were found inpossession of even a single cartridge.

• Jews, it should be noted, were notGermans, even if they had been born

in Germany. The National Socialistsdefined citizenship in ethnic terms,and under Hitler Jews were not ac­corded full rights of citizenship. Na­tional Socialist legislationprogressively excluded Jews fromkey professions: teaching, the media,the practice of law, etc. The aim wasnot only to free German life from anoppressive and degenerative Jewishinfluence, but to persuade Jews toemigrate. The German Weapons Lawof March 18, 1938, specifically ex­cluded Jews from manufacturing ordealing in flrearms or munitions, butit did not exclude them from owningor bearing personal firearms. The ex­clusion of Jews from the firearmsbusiness rankled them as much as anyother exclusion, and in their typicallyethnocentric fashion they have mis­represented the law involved as ananti-gun law in an effort to cast theirenemies in a bad light.

It should be noted in passing thatthe restrictions placed on Jews by the

National Socialists had the intendedeffect: between 1933 and 1939 two­thirds of the Jews residing in Ger­many emigrated, reducing the Jewishpopulation of the country from600,000 when Hitler became Chan­cellor in 1933 to 200,000 at the out­break of the Second World War in1939. Jews in the United States, look­ing at this period from their own nar­rowly focused viewpoint, havedescribed these peacetime years ofthe National Socialist government asa time of darkness, terror, and regres­sion, whereas for the German peopleit was a time of hope, joy .and spiritualand material renewal.

Much the same type of dis toni on isseen in the portrayal of the UnitedStates in the early 1950s: the so-called"Mct.arthy Era." Senator Joseph Me­Carthy (Republican, Wisconsin) usedhis position as chairman of theSenate's Government OperationsCommittee to expose the widespreadcommunist infiltration of the U.S.govcmmcnt and other U.S. institu­tions which had taken place during theSecond World War. A substantialmajority of the communists who weredragged reluctantly out into the lightof d~IY by his efforts were Jews. As aresult, the controlled media alwayshave portrayed the period as one ofterror and repression, when everyonewas frightened of SenatorMcCarthy's "witch-hum." Of course,it was nothing of the son to non­Jewish Americans, who were not in­timidated in the least. History viewedthrough a Jewish lens-i-i.e.. throughmedia controlled by Jews-s-always isdistorted in a way corresponding toJewish interests and concerns.

Both the German Weapons Law ofMarch 18, 1938, enacted by the Na­tional Socialists, and the Law onFirearms and Ammunition of April12, 1928, which was enacted by ananti-National Socialist government,are given below in full, first in Iac­simi lc and then in English translation.A little background information first.however, may help the reader to un­derstand their significance.

After Germany's defeat in theFirstWorld War (a defeat in which

GERMAN CIVILIANS were ordered by American occupiers to turn in all of theirweapons (including fencing swords, as held by the man at the right) in 1945.They lined up at collection points allover Germany to do so, Gis were amazedthat German civilians owned so many Iirearrns. (US ARMY SIGNAL CORPS PHOTO)

Germany's Jews played no small part,demoralizing the home front withdemonstrations and other subversiveactivity much as they did in Americaduring the Vietnam war), the Kaiserabdicated, and liberals and leftistsseized control of the goverrunent in1918. Hitler, recovering in a militaryhospital from a British poison-gas at­tack which had blinded him tem­porarily, made the decision to go intopolitics and fight against the traitorshe felt were responsible forGermany's distress.

The tendency of Germany's newrulers after the First World War wasmuch the same as it is for the liberalsin America today: they promoted cos­mopolitanism, internationalism. andegalitarianism. By 1923 economicconditions in Germany had becomecatastrophic, and there was muchpublic unrest. The communists hadmade major inroads into the labormovement and were a growing threatto the country.

Hitler had indeed gone intopolitics. and his National Socialistsbattled the communists in the streetsof Germany's cities and graduallycame to be seen by many patrioticGermans in the working class and themiddle class as the only force whichcould save Germany from a com­munist takeover and total ruin.Hitler's National Socialists continuedto win recruits and gain strengthduring the 1920s. The communists.with aid from the Soviet Union. alsocontinued to grow. The political situa­tion became increasingly unstable asthe government lost popular support.

The government's response was tosubstantially tighten up restrictionson the rights of German citizens tokeep and bear arms. The Law onFirearms and Ammunition of April12, 1928, was the most substantialeffort in this regard. This law wasenacted by a left-center goverrunenthostile to the National Socialists (thegoverrunent was headed by Chancel­lor Wilhelm Marx and consisted of acoalition of Socialists, includingmany Jews. and Catholic Centrists).

Five years later, in 1933, the Na­tional Socialists were in power. Hitler

headed the government. and the com­munist threat was crushed decisively.The National Socialists began undo­ing the social and economic damagedone by their predecessors. Germanywas restored to full employment,degeneracy and corruption wererooted out, Jews and their col­laborators were removed from onefacet of national life after another, andthe German people entered a new eraof national freedom. health, andprosperi ty.

Finally. in 1938, the NationalSocialist government got around toenacting a new firearms law toreplace the one enacted by their op­ponents ten years earlier. The high­lights of the 1938 law, especially as itapplied to ordinary citizens ratherthan manufacturers or dealers, fol­low:

• Handguns maybe purchased onlyon submission ora Weapons Acquisi­tion Permit (Waffenerwerbschein),which must be used within one yearfrom the date of issue. Muzzle-load­ing handguns arc exempted from thepermit requirement. [The 1928 lawhad required a permit for the purchase

5

of long guns as well, but the NationalSocialists dropped this requirement. J

• Holders of a permit to carryweapons (Wujfenschein) or of a hunt­ing license do not need a WeaponsAcquisition Permit in order to acquirea handgun.

• A hunting license authorizes itsbearer to carry hunting weapons andhandguns.

• Firearms and ammunition, aswell as swords and knives, may not besold to minors under the age of 18vcars. [The age limit had been 20years in the 1929 law. I

• Whoever carries a firearm out­side of his dwelling. his place ofemployment, his place of business. orhis fenced property must have on hisperson a Weapons Permit (Waf­fenscheini. A permit is not required,however, for carrying a firearm foruse at a police-approved shootingrange.

• A permit to acquire a handgun orto carry firearms may only be issuedto persons whose trustworthiness isnot in question and who can show aneed for a permit. In particular, a per­mit may not be issued to:

1. persons under the age of 18years;

2. legally incompetentor mentallyretarded persons;

3. Gypsies or vagabonds;4. persons under mandatory police

supervision [i.e., on parole] or other­wise temporarily withoutcivil rights;

5. persons convicted of treasonorhigh treason or known to be engagedin activities hostile to the state;

6. persons who for assault,trespass, a breach of the peace, resis­tance to authority, a criminal offenseor misdemeanor, or a hunting or fish­ing violation were legally sentencedto a term of imprisonment of morethan two weeks, if three years havenot passed since the term of imprison­ment.

o The manufacture. sale, carrying,possession, and import of the follow­ing are prohibited:

1."trick" firearms, designed so asto conceal their function (e.g., caneguns and belt-buckle pistols);

2. any firearm equipped with a si­lencer and any rifle equipped with aspotlight;

3. cartridges with .22 caliber, hol­low-pointbullets.

That is the essence. Numerousother provisions of the law relate tofirearms manufacturers, importers,and dealers; to acquisitionand carry­ing of firearms by police, military,

and other official personnel; to themaximum fees whichcan be chargedforpermits(3 Reichsmarky; to touristsbringing firearms into Germany; andto the fines and other penalties to belevied for violations.

The requirements of "trustworthi­ness" and of proof of need when ob­taining a permit are troubling, but itshould be noted that they were simplycarried over from the 1928 law: theywere not formulated by the NationalSocialists. Under the NationalSocialiststheserequirements were in­terpreted liberally: a person who didnot fall into one of the prohibitedcategories listed above was con­sidered trustworthy, and a statementsuch as, "I often carry sums ofmoney," was accepted as proof ofneed.

The prohibitions of spotlight­equipped rilles and hollow-point .22caliber ammunition were based onconsiderations that the former wereunsporting when used for hunting,and the latter were inhumane.

Now read the German firearmslawsfor yourself, eitherin theoriginalGermanexactly as they werepublish­ed by the German government in theReichsgesetzblau or in the completeEnglish translations which areprovided here. If you want to skipover most of the legal gobbledygookand go directly to the most pertinent

6

partof theNationalSocialist FirearmsLaw-the pan pertaining 10 the pur­chase, ownership, and carrying offirearms by private citizens-s-turn topage 35(Part IV of the Law). Note, asalready mentioned above, that twoseparate and distinct types of penn itsare referred to: a Weapons Acquisi­tion Permit (Waffenerwerbschein),requi red only for purchasing a hand­gun; and a Weapons Permit (Wlif­fenschein), required for carrying anyfirearm in public. Interestinglyenough, as also mentioned above, ahuntinglicense could take the placeofboth these permits.

When you have read the two lawsreproduced here, you will understandthat it was Hitler's enemies, not Hit­ler, whoshould be compared with thegun-control advocates in Americatoday. Then as now it was the Jews,not the National Socialists, whowanted the people's right of self­defense restricted. You will under­stand that those whocontinue to makethe claim that Hitler was a gun-grab­ber arc either ignorant or dishonest.And you will understand that it wasnot until 1945, when the communistand democratic victors of the SecondWorld War had installed occupationgovernments to rule over the con­quered Germans thatGerman citizenswere finally and completely deniedthe right to armed self-defense. 0
