There is much talk of the Nazis “taking away guns” online. But what did the act in question actually say (in English). I believe it is the 1938 gun control act, but I have not even been able to find its official name online before I end up tied up 21st century politics.
What exactly does the act in question say? and how does it compare to the earlier Wiemar Republic law? (I believe of 1928). Was it a restriction of gun rights relative to the earlier law or loosening?
Unable to find original or translation of 1928 act.
Comparison of the 1928 and 1938 laws, by Bernard Harcourt, starts around page 20. This paper is cited multiple times in the Wikipedia article, “Gun Politics in Germany”.
