Why does the DOJ want the membership list from these gun organizations?

"A federal judge in Louisiana issued a judgment on October 7, 2025, in Reese v. ATF that did two big things: it declared the federal handgun sales ban for 18 - 20-year-olds unconstitutional for certain plaintiffs, and it ordered three gun-rights groups - Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and Louisiana Shooting Association (LSA) - to give the government a verified list of their members as of November 6, 2020. That came straight from the court's original judgment signed by Judge Robert R. Summerhays. The disclosure order set a 21-day clock and lit up the Second Amendment world."

"Your National Association for Gun Rights is officially calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi to be FIRED."

Why so dramatic?
NAGR says Bondi's Department of Justice convinced a federal judge to order two major gun-rights groups to turn over their membership lists - names, addresses, contact info - to the government.
The group says that demand amounts to a backdoor registry of gun owners and a violation of the First Amendment right to anonymous association. Fire Pam Bondi."

Apparently they have since retreated from that decision but have not issued a new one yet so the outcome is not yet certain.

Didn't Hitler take away gun rights of people?
Yes he did:
Confiscation and bans for targeted groups
Disarming political enemies: The Nazis used pre-existing Weimar-era gun registration records to disarm and arrest political opponents and other "unreliable" people shortly after taking power in 1933.
Banning guns for Jewish people: After the violence of Kristallnacht in November 1938, the Nazis implemented the Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons. This law prohibited Jewish people from owning any form of weapon, including firearms, ammunition, and knives. The police then used registration lists to confiscate all weapons from the Jewish community.
