And the Jews would have lost their victim status to some degree as most of the world's nations turn a blind eye or even support it when countries stamp out armed rebellions.
Europe in general was very anti-Semetic and if the Jews were armed, they would have probably received less sympathy from neighbouring countries (who were hard enough to convince against complacency in the early years of the Nazi abuses).
I don't really see the point of trying to revise history when there are enough examples of tyranical governments in the world that have no gun control and still manage to use brutal tactics to suppress their people. There is no reason to think that Germany wouldn't have been the same.
