Proof Hitler was on drugs. This is how he took all the guns, by

removing background checks for the purchase of long guns,
lowering the minimum age from 21 to 18 and
allowing gun ownership for convicted felons, after a three year restriction.

I am beginning to think, a special interest group has been lying to us about this, too.

German Weapons Law (Waffengesetz) of March 18, 1938 (Hitler),
replaced
The Law on Firearms and Ammunition of April 12, 1928 (left-center government, headed by Chancellor Wilhelm Marx. )

Handguns may be purchased only on submission of a Weapons Acquisition Permit (Waffenerwerbschein), which must be used within one year from the date of issue. Muzzle- loading handguns are exempted from the permit requirement.
[The 1928 law had required a permit for the purchase of long guns as well, but the National Socialists dropped this requirement.]

Holders of a permit to carry weapons (Waffenschein) or of a hunting license do not need a Weapons Acquisition Permit in order to acquire a handgun.

A hunting license authorizes its bearer to carry hunting weapons and handguns.

Firearms and ammunition, as well as swords and knives, may not be sold to minors under the age of 18 years. [The age limit had been 20 years in the 1928 law.]

Whoever carries a firearm outside of his dwelling, his place of employment, his place of business, or his fenced property must have on his person a Weapons Permit (Waffenschein). A permit is not required, however, for carrying a firearm for use at a police-approved shooting range.

A permit to acquire a handgun or to carry firearms may only be issued to persons whose trustworthiness is not in question and who can show a need for a permit. In particular, a permit may not be issued to:

1. persons under the age of 18 years; (reduced from 21)

2. legally incompetent or mentally retarded persons;

3. Gypsies or vagabonds;

4. persons under mandatory police supervision [i.e., on parole] or otherwise temporarily without civil rights;

5. persons convicted of treason or high treason or known to be engaged in activities hostile to the state;

6. persons who for assault, trespass, a breach of the peace, resistance to authority, a criminal offense or misdemeanor, or a hunting or fishing violation were legally sentenced to a term of imprisonment of more than two weeks, if three years have not passed since the term of imprisonment.
