They could.
somi, what is wrong about it?
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.
There's a fuckton more people that own guns in Germany than just those groups.
It's simply not correct that there's no such thing as recreational gun ownership in Germany.
yeah, 3 years training and physical and mental tests to before you can even begin training
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.
Nope.
Sure as fuck not what I've heard from German gun owners.
right to technology...?
3 years was police 😉
You meant that "Nope" for me, or Falko?
I think that should be obvious.
Me, then.
...No
"Common sense is not so common." 🤷🏽
It seems obvious to me that a right *to* technology (esp. an iPhone) seems ridiculous. :/
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.
(I apologize; English is not my first language.)
recreational gun ownership is the same as "hunter" for me... basically the same regulations for both
You're moving goal posts...
not really
And @Miss Direction IIRC it's an EU human right to have access to the internet
Why?
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.
Because most north/west EU countries have basically fully digitized their government communication
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.
And in a lot of the major cities, there *is* very strict gun control, if not outright bans.
I depart. Good luck, all.
Yes, but you at first just said hunter. When I pointed out that isn't true, you suddenly changed that to hunter 'also means recreational shooting'
to me hunting is recreational shooting
but you are right that there IS a destinction in the law
Here is a problem, in the us, with at least some instances. There are several laws already in place that are not enforced as well as the should be. Yet the solution proposed is to add more to it? In Florida, it seems literally everyone knew this was a very real possibility with this kid
The FBI even knew but couldn't get him on anything. Banning assault weapons doesn't really fix it. Or more accurately is like having a hammer and treating everything like a nail. Why ban all cars, for example, when you knew a person was very likely going to use a car to commit a terror act. Why not find where they should have been able get them, and add a small piece of legislation there, rather than punish all the law abiding companies and citizens for the action of a minority.
why should anyone give a sliver of their rights up to stopgap something that may or may not do anything long term?
In the grand scheme of things, you cannot reasonably stop people who lose their shit from doing anything.
You ban guns and they run around with cars or swords or make explosives
we cannot un-learn these things
