"Classified guns for "sporting purposes". All citizens who wished to purchase firearms had to register with the Nazi officials and have a background check. Presumed German citizens were hostile and thereby exempted Nazis from the gun control law. Gave Nazis unrestricted power to decide what kinds of firearms could, or could not be owned by private persons. The types of ammunition that were legal were subject to control by bureaucrats. Juveniles under 18 years could not buy firearms and ammunition".
"Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons 11 November 1938 With a basis in #31 of the Weapons Law of 18 March 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p.265), Article III of the Law on the Reunification of Austria with Germany of 13 March 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 237), and #9 of the Führer and Chancellor's decree on the administration of the Sudeten-German districts of 1 October 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p 1331) are the following ordered: #1 Jews (#5 of the First Regulations of the German Citizenship Law of 14 November 1935, Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 1333) are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority. #2 Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew's possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation. #3 The Minister of the Interior may make exceptions to the Prohibition in §1 for Jews who are foreign nationals. He can entrust other authorities with this power. #4 Whoever willfully or negligently violates the provisions of §1 will be punished with imprisonment and a fine. In especially severe cases of deliberate violations, the punishment is imprisonment in a penitentiary for up to five years. #5 For the implementation of this regulation, the Minister of the Interior waives the necessary legal and administrative provisions. #6 This regulation is valid in the state of Austria and in the Sudeten-German districts. Berlin, 11 November 1938. Minister of the Interior Frick."
Countries with the highest crime rates in the world all have similar gun control laws Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, Venezuela, Mexico, Iran, Libya, Cuba and Zimbabwe, including St. Maarten all have similar gun control Laws.
Our gun control laws have only served to limit the freedom, victimize and criminalized the good person and empowered the criminal. We are urging parliament to do their research and review these laws. We are also urging parliament to carefully review the new gun license regulation bill that will be brought to parliament shortly by the justice department for ratification. We must all be careful not to make additional laws that will further empower the criminal, criminalize the good person and make it useless or impossible for good citizens to own a gun legally for self-defense purposes.
