The 2nd & 4th Districts appear awkward, but the 3rd proves comical.

2018-02-16 22:38:13 UTC  

gun regulation in germany: only for police, military, hunters (hunting rifles only) and security personnel...

2018-02-16 22:38:37 UTC  

So it goes.

2018-02-16 22:38:59 UTC  

There exist more private security officers than police in the United States.

2018-02-16 22:40:46 UTC  

and most of the police in the US would probably not be able to become police officers in germany...

2018-02-16 22:41:11 UTC  

Why?

2018-02-16 22:41:18 UTC  

Simply incorrect, about german gunlegislation

2018-02-16 22:41:22 UTC  

They could.

2018-02-16 22:41:59 UTC  

somi, what is wrong about it?

2018-02-16 22:42:00 UTC  

Issue is the typical german police officer has been in training for about three years before finally becoming an officer? Whereas in the US the typical training time is about six months.

2018-02-16 22:42:21 UTC  

There's a fuckton more people that own guns in Germany than just those groups.

2018-02-16 22:42:49 UTC  

It's simply not correct that there's no such thing as recreational gun ownership in Germany.

2018-02-16 22:43:56 UTC  

yeah, 3 years training and physical and mental tests to before you can even begin training

2018-02-16 22:43:58 UTC  

One professor from Germany stated there exists a "right to technology" in Germany that grants arriving refugees iPhones, though he specialized in economics so that may prove unreliable.

2018-02-16 22:44:17 UTC  

Nope.

2018-02-16 22:44:23 UTC  
2018-02-16 22:44:32 UTC  

Sure as fuck not what I've heard from German gun owners.

2018-02-16 22:44:37 UTC  

right to technology...?

2018-02-16 22:44:49 UTC  

3 years was police 😉

2018-02-16 22:44:59 UTC  

You meant that "Nope" for me, or Falko?

2018-02-16 22:45:12 UTC  

I think that should be obvious.

2018-02-16 22:45:27 UTC  

Me, then.

2018-02-16 22:45:35 UTC  

...No

2018-02-16 22:45:48 UTC  

"Common sense is not so common." 🤷🏽

2018-02-16 22:47:26 UTC  

It seems obvious to me that a right *to* technology (esp. an iPhone) seems ridiculous. :/

2018-02-16 22:49:32 UTC  

In terms of being available for purchase, sure, but not for it to just be handed to you. And even then, that should have some limitations.
Obviously, private citizens shouldn't be allowed to purchase nuclear weapons.

2018-02-16 22:50:08 UTC  

Yes, availability & ability to purchase one make sense.

2018-02-16 22:50:32 UTC  

(I apologize; English is not my first language.)

2018-02-16 22:52:20 UTC  

recreational gun ownership is the same as "hunter" for me... basically the same regulations for both

2018-02-16 22:52:44 UTC  

You're moving goal posts...

2018-02-16 22:52:52 UTC  

not really

2018-02-16 22:52:59 UTC  

And @Miss Direction IIRC it's an EU human right to have access to the internet

2018-02-16 22:53:22 UTC  

Why?

2018-02-16 22:53:45 UTC  

I just think it's more complicated than that, especially in the United States. There are plenty of areas in the US where it is not uncommon to be miles away from the nearest telephone pole, much less being within a reasonable response time to a police station or sheriff's office.

2018-02-16 22:53:50 UTC  

Because most north/west EU countries have basically fully digitized their government communication

2018-02-16 22:54:18 UTC  

hunter/sportsschiessen: heavily regulated where you are allowed to use your guns, what guns you can use and even how you can use your guns.

2018-02-16 22:54:26 UTC  

And in a lot of the major cities, there *is* very strict gun control, if not outright bans.

2018-02-16 22:54:44 UTC  

I depart. Good luck, all.
