Disarming of the citizens : A lesson from history During my LUGER research, I was intrigued by 'double dates' on a particular pistol I was to purchase. Well, low and behold I found my answer along with some chilling history on how Germany enforced the disarming of its citizens - namely its WWI Veterans !!! :36_1_25: Here ya go ! DOUBLE DATES: The new (Weimar) German Government after WWI found itself with an armed citizenry with all the soldiers bringing their weapons home from the war. On August 1st, 1920 the German authorities issued an order from Berlin that cited the impending disarming of the people required that all weapons of the armed forces were to be marked with the date to prevent people from stealing military supplies and selling them back to the government. On August 7th, 1920 rewards were begun for the turn-in of weapons to the government paying 100 Marks (then about $23.50) for a small arm until October 10th after which the reward was to be reduced to 50 Marks. Thus began the disarming of the citizenry; a lesson that should not be lost on free people.

Re: Disarming of the citizens : A lesson from history Well after much thought I have decided to start posting videos on youtube about the whole fiasco we are in. I am currently uploading a video right now on this very subject. When it's done I will link it in the forums.

Keep in mind these actions were by the so-called "democratic" and "free" Weimar Republic - you know, the one supported by "the Allies." The Firearms Act of 1928 made most of these restrictions worse. Ironically, the Firearms Act of 1938 reduced the restrictions (despite what the JPFO will tell you).
