Did France’s Gun Control Hurt Its Resistance to the Nazis?
Renowned Second Amendment lawyer Stephen Halbrook detailed this history in a 2012 article for the Fordham Urban Law Journal. And now, in his book Gun Control in Nazi-Occupied France,
he explains how French gun policy evolved over the centuries — and the
consequences it had under the Nazi-puppet Vichy regime during World War
II. A sequel of sorts to Halbrook’s Gun Control in the Third Reich,
the book drives home the important lessons that gun control is a key
element of the oppressor’s toolkit, that guns are incredibly useful for
those resisting oppression, and that even the most draconian gun-control
measures are far from perfectly effective.
