>>>There was arms control (gun control at national scale) before WWII. Didn't seem to work very well.

>>There were lots of guns on the streets during WWII in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. Problem was that there was no resistance. Everything else is just an excuse. Besides, only a selected kind of people were not allowed guns, most nationals were allowed guns and they had guns, only they had to be registered. Hitler's rise was not due to gun control but he was elected into office and followed by the people until the end.
>>Even today guns are not forbidden in Germany (as opposed to what most people believe). The current laws of gun control state that guns have to be registered and properly stored in a place that is not accessible besides of the gun owner himself. It's the same system like a drivers license, that you have to prove yourself capable and responsible of owning a gun or a car and violations in conduct may lead to loosing the right to own a gun or drive a car.

>Look at the arms control measures imposed on Germany after WWI re battleships, combat aircraft, etc.

And this pertains to handguns and rifles, how? Quit expanding your argument to fit your views, William.

I'm calling shenanigans.
