He just took advantage of those idiotic laws.

Not innacurate:
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." --Adolf Hitler
It is true that the original ban on arms was in the 1928 Weimer Republic - they wanted to keep the brownshirts from having them. Then tell us how the brown shirts and later Nazis were able to carry them, even openly? Because Hitler, in 1938 amended the law to focus on Jews alone. They were banned from carrying them, from having a business selling them, and from even handling them.
So, lets split hairs on it, okay?
