Disarmament was for jews only according to this guy

[Awoke]

This guy on the internet is telling me that Hitler only disarmed the jews in particular. In fact he is saying that shotguns and long guns were deregulated, and that only handguns were restricted. Truth?

most of the guns laws attributed to hitler were already in place prior to his rise to power via the wiemar goverment. hitler's government did pass one set of amendments to the existing laws in 1938. it:

- banned jews from working in any business invloving firearms
- prohibited anyone under 18 from buying any type of guns
- added a permit requirement for purchase of handguns
- banned silencers
- banned hollow point small ammo

after kristelnacht, jews were not allowed have weapons, although no such law about it was ever passed. it was a executive order type thing.
