it's not a right if it can be legislated away - maybe the quote should be "the road to hell is paved with common sense good intentions"

Unless you happened to be a Jew: "ss1 Jews (ss5 of the First Regulations of the German Citizenship Law of 14 November 1935, Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 1333) are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority. "
