Except that Hitler didn’t increase gun regulation, he relaxed it.

The previous German laws restricted ownership of firearms to “…persons whose trustworthiness is not in question and who can show a need for a (gun) permit.” The person issuing the permit had to swear he had personal knowledge of the applicant, so few permits were issued.

The 1938 German Weapons Act completely deregulated the acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, as well as ammunition. Gun restriction laws now applied only to handguns, not to long guns or ammunition. Holders of annual hunting permits, government workers and NSDAP (Nazi) party members were no longer subject to any gun ownership restrictions. The age at which persons could own guns was lowered from 20 to 18 and the firearms carry permit was valid for three years instead of one year. Under Hitler, anyone over the age of 18 could own a handgun with no background checks.

Hitler was very pro-gun, his party offered free weapons training and even free guns to people who joined the SA, Hitler’s private army.

The only people who had guns taken away under Hitler were Jews and Gypsies who were seen as “foreigners” even if they had lived in Germany all their lives.

So if you use Hitler as an example, you will want strong gun regulation as a way to prevent a return to Fascism.
