Dean Weingarten has a very informative article up at Ammoland. He’s always a good read, although I disagree with his seeming exoneration of the NRA in these affairs. It’s not just that they didn’t stop some of it, they actively participated in it, and failed to stop the worst parts. Those failures today haunt the firearms community.
I won’t lift any of the article. In this case it would be bad form since it’s so long and detailed. But go read his piece.
I will mention that TCJ commenter Sisu mentions this in the comments.
Sen Thomas Dodd (Christopher’s corrupt, demonrat father; another political dynasty) had many roles in government including a stint with the FBI, and was second ranking lawyer at the Nuremberg Trials, it is there where he is said to have obtained and retained a copy of the Nazi’s Gun Control Acts. … Many will recall JPFO translated the Nazi 1938 Act and compared it to US GCA of 1968 proposed by Dodd; they are in all material respects the same legislation.
I didn’t know that. Thanks to reader Sisu for educating us.

I’ve heard that before. Someone has to have the direct translation for comparison.

JPFO used to provide a side-by-side comparison. Don’t know if that’s still true.
