Many non-Jewish germans voted against the Nazi gov't, I suppose they too would say, "Hey, lets go shoot some armed Jews for the hell of it! Its what all the cool Nazis are doing these days!"

You honestly believe the jewish population in WW2 Germany would stand even less of chance against Nazi tyranny if every one of those said citizens had a valid way of fighting back?

No, I wouldn't say they'd stand less of a chance, because they already stood no chance. Can't get less than none.

The Nazi's would "fire back" if the Jews had guns? They already came out with both barrels blazing as the Jews had absolutley no means of defending themselfs reasonably.
Answer me this then. Is it not easier to incarcerate and murder someone holding a shovel, or someone holding a rifle?

Does it really matter when the other side has an army that outnumbers you 100-1 complete with armored vehicles and air support?
You could be holding an AK-47 or a shovel, but you're still dead.
