I enjoyed Steve Halbrook's cogent response to Bernard Harcourt's attempt to debunk the clear link between theNazis and gun control. Steve states: "Rather than addressing every point of contention between Harcourt and myself, the reader should compare our two articles. Yet that is only the beginning. Based on further research in German archives, this author will be publishing substantially more on the subject. Scholars who deny this author's thesis are challenged to do the same."
John Lott comments further on his blog: "Gun Control and Nazi Germany Steve Halbrook has a very interesting law review article that demolishes an earlier piece by Bernard Harcourt at the University of Chicago Law School. Bernard's piece claimed that it is just a myth that Nazi Germany had restrictive gun control laws and he blames the NRA for promoting this myth. Why Bernard's piece should have been a law review article is a bit of mystery to me, but Halbrook takes Bernard's historical claims apart."
