Hitlers NSDAP was elected because of economic problems the Weimar republic faced.
And his Ermächtigungsgesetz that gave him full power was pushed through the parliament because of "terrorism"
Free gun ownership wouldn't have changed anything about this.
Actually, never in history so many germans had access to weapons as during WW2 (thanks to most male germans being drawn into the military and, in the last months of the war, even people too old or too young were put into the Volkssturm)
