    You’re throwing in a lot of your own shit. Havent said anything about this being criminal, about screening or having checks or how anyone looks. I havent said any of that. No one is allowed to own a gun same as no one is allowed to drive drunk.

    Why would germany be an awful place to live? With its higher standard of living, higher life expectancy, much lower crime rates, better wages and access to healthcare. Thats the thing, i dont think you know what its like outside the US. Youre obsessed with having a gun to protect yourself because gun violence is common here. Germans dont need to protect themselves from gun violence because no one has guns. They just dont have that worry altogether.

      Ah so to you, “owning a gun” should be a criminal offense, akin to driving drunk, which is a criminal offense, yet “you haven’t said anything about this being criminal,” just that it should be a crime, got it…

      Lol I don’t think you know what it’s like inside the US, frankly. It isn’t like it’s Gaza over here, our violence is also largely localized in 5 counties which are easy to avoid as our entire country is comparable in size to the whole EU, not just Des Vaterland which is smaller than Montana alone. Not trying to rip on Germany too hard, Schwarzwalder kuchen ist sehr lekker and all, and I hear Frankfurt has the best hookers in all the world, but it isn’t as if I feel the need to escape war torn South Dakota.

      Germany has no violent crime, eh?

      The newspaper said there was a nearly 7% increase in cases of dangerous and serious bodily harm, with 154,541 cases recorded — the highest number ever.

      “But, but, there’s less overall…” yes yes, but “less overall” matters little when you’re being attacked with a blunt instrument or knife, as you’d likely be screaming “Oh mein gott help bitte” instead of “thankfully though I will die here I will be part of a smaller statistic than the US!” Well, maybe you will, if your nationalist ego is still the most important thing to you with however many stab wounds you happen to be leaking from. I on the other hand would prefer to be able to at least attempt to save myself given the unlikely scenario in which it becomes a necessity, and thankfully where I live allows me the freedom with which to do so. You on the other hand do not wish to defend yourself in the unlikely scenario in which it becomes a necessity, and thankfully for you where you live does not allow you the freedom to do so. Problem solved, everyone’s happy.

        yes. this is very different than you claiming Im treating people like criminals before they own a gun.

        Lol I don’t think you know what it’s like inside the US, frankly.

        I live here. I have heard so many gunshots. People have been murdered a few dozen feet from my front door. There are shootings daily on the local news.

        but “less overall” matters little when you’re being attacked

        you’re a goddamn lunatic. Of course less overall fucking matters if you dont wanna be attacked. It means you’re less bloody likely to be attacked!

          Well, there are already 600,000,000+ guns in 167,457,447 people’s possession. So you’re too late on that one.

          But you are attempting to treat people how we treat criminals (removal of rights) without them having committed a crime. Like, by definition that is what you’re doing.

          Sounds like you should move out of your neighborhood as it is one of those 5 counties with 50% of the murders. Hell, move to paradise Der Vaterland if you’re so inclined, but you could literally escape that by going one or two counties over. Or stay, but if you do I’d buy a gun.

          You’re a goddamned moron (two can play this game). You may be less likely to be attacked, but some people are attacked there nonetheless, and for those people, frequency likely stops mattering as they are being stabbed, as it is currently happening despite the rarity. It isn’t pokemon cards, they don’t suddenly go “yes I’m dying but really this is lucky because it’s so rare to be brutally murdered here like I currently am.”
