[quote=Anonymous]First of all, there were not many guns in the hands of civilians in Germany in the first place, since they had to surrender them under terms of WWI in the Treaty of Versailles; the 1938 law promoted by Hitler was in fact not to ban guns (as they were already banned) but to put guns in the hands of the select few, it is a very very different situation as compared to anything relevant to current US politics, or any proposal anyone has made in US politics.

Likewise, in Poland, it wasn't merely a simple matter of Jews simply picking up some guns and defending themselves - Polish civilians typically had very few guns available, as a result of multiple occupations by Prussia, Russia and Austria.

And either way, there's not much that some civilian with a pistol or rifle ever would have been able to do against the Luftwaffe and Panzer divisions that came into Poland.  Likewise, any civilian who thinks their AR-15 would in any way be effective against a government that has mechanized infantry, artillery and aerial weaponry at their easy disposal is absolutely delusional.  If they want you dead, you're going to end up dead.[/quote]
