Edited sentence: Gun rights advocates such as the Democratic Congressman John Dingell   NRA (voiced by NRA presidents Charlton Heston and Wayne LaPierre), Stephen Halbrook, and others in the international   debate on gun control have argued that these laws were an enabling factor in The Holocaust, that prevented Jews and other victims from implementing an effective resistance,   , and have used allusions to the Nazis in the modern gun control debate context.In response, voices such as Bernard Harcourt and Robert Spitzer agree that gun control was used in the genocide of the Jews, but argue that the prior levels of gun ownership were not high enough to enable significant resistance  , and that confiscation was a minor and incidental piece of the actions perpetrated by the Nazis.The Nazi's also confiscated arms in the countries they occupied.They further argue that the use of Nazi allusions is meant to raise undue fear about modern disarmament and "throw a scare into gun owners in order to rally them to the side of the NRA", and that use of the Holocaust in these arguments is offensive to the victims of the Nazis.Within The Third Reich, the Nazi party instituted policies and passed laws that disarmed German Jews and other "untrustworthy" groups, while relaxing firearms restrictions for NDSAP party members and ethnic German groups
