The true story of gun control in the Third Reich is much scarier then the Myth that "Hitler did it."
Please expand on that, if you feel like it.
As Denton pointed out, run registration did not begin under Hitler, but under a democratically elected Republic. At the time, it was considered one of the most enlightened, civil, progressive (in the traditional, not modern use of the word), societies in the world. It was these well meaning, good people who started down the path or registration, that lead to gun control, and enabled the world first industrial slaughter of human.
IMO, it's that fact that this process started with good intentioned people, yet ended so badly that is truly chilling.
