You wouldn't think it needed explaining. Ironically, it means gun owners who don't go around blowing people away are misusing their firearm.

Whether he did or not is academic anyway. The whole "Hitler disarmed Germans" is just a bunch of copy and pasted NRA guff mindlessly parroted by gunloons, along with stuff about Switzerland and trying to make gun killings about mental illness, rather than something that might eat into the profits of gun manufacturers. Ironically these mass murders end up increasing sales of guns; now
there's a conspiracy worth looking into.
Let's say Hitler did disarm Germans, what's the point the NRA is making? That Germans would have stopped WWII? The Holocaust? Nobody even knew about the Holocaust till after the war ended and, until they started losing, most Germans were perfectly happy with their army restoring German pride in cities around Europe. Likewise with their shiny new Volkswagens, and swanky autobahns.
The idea that armed citizens would have stood a chance against a regime that kicked the shit out of multiple world superpowers is absurd.
