A kid just buys something

and the parents give zero fucks for what it is

Which sometimes ends in them collecting beyblades

and other times 5th graders play around with lighters and knives in class

cause it's 'kool'

To be fair, it's only violent if it has swastikas.

And Germany took care of them.

DKO is on the money

We don't just censor the swastika that's the best part

we censor everything that can be remotely confused with a swastika

other symbols

faces of nazi personalities

and even WW1 symbols that were simply reused for propaganda purposes at the time

and herrrrrrrrre weeeeeee

go

From a european standpoint both sides look ridiculous

the gun control people have no idea what they're arguing for or why

and the pro-gunners go **"WHAT IF WE SUDDENLY LIVE IN ORWELLS NIGHTMARE AND HAVE TO DEFEND US FROM THE STATE"**

God guns so BORING

They also want to be able to defend themselves from criminals.

Just go and try and take the guns

get shot

shut up

At least in Germany it's better than in Canada, regarding self defense.

According to Joerg Sprave, you can use the least amount if force to end the threat. If it happens to be a gun, that's fine.

So if someone enters your home, you can point a gun at the intruder. If the threat doesn't end, you can shoot to kill.

you may or may not get in trouble if you shoot to kill immediately

because we have a law stating that self-defense shouldn't be excessive

but in general yes that's true

Which is where the "least amount of force" comes in.

In Canada, you're fucked. Even if it was your last resort, you'll face man slaughter charges.

Canada is just fucked in general in that regard

someone breaks in here I can pick up my bow and threaten to shoot

and if he does shit and I panic shot with a bow it's pretty much 99% lethal if it hits

I was looking for info on this the other day. It pretty much is "yes, it's illegal to shoot somebody to save your life; but still, better jailed than dead."

Funny thing about bows is

and yeah it's probably easier to get a gun license than learn to shoot a bow if you doN't like bows

but you get pretty much off the hook with a bow

because it's really hard not to kill someone in self-defense with a bow

chest-dead, abdomen-dead, hip-dead, leg-crippled, shoulder-nervous shock, head-dead
