GErman political party supports gun rights for Germans, perhaps they are learning something.

yep.....Germans have a right to self defense as do all humans...maybe they are finally learning that the government can't keep them safe...

You would have thought that when their government murdered 12 million unarmed people, when only the police and soldiers had guns.......they would have learned this lesson.....but they didn't, maybe now they are finally getting a clue...

German Populist Party Favors Armed Citizens - The Truth About Guns

A populist German politician is saying that German citizens should have the right to weapons to protect themselves. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a political party that’s achieved some recent electoral successes. It rejects subservience of Germany to the European Union, and rejects the recent mass immigration. From reuters.com:

“Many people are increasingly feeling unsafe. Every law-abiding citizen should be in a position to defend themselves, their family and their friends,” Frauke Petry told the Funke Media Group in an interview published on Saturday.

“We all know how long it takes until the police can get to the scene, especially in sparsely populated places,” she said.

Arming Germans sounds like a great idea. They're a quiet, peace-loving people.

What could go wrong?

There's an age old saying: "Give a German a gun and he'll march to France."

It wasn't arming the good Germans that was the problem....only the bad Germans had guns in the 1930s........

And whose job was it to make that distinction?

Well.....when one group of Germans are putting unarmed, innocent, men, women and children into gas chambers...that would be your first clue....

So it's business as usual - it's the bad guys who turn to guns to force their will on others.

I get the feeling Al Azar is the type that must have the government tell him who is bad and who is good.

My biggest concern is the number of people on this country who suffer from untreated paranoia.

And the fact that they have ready access to deadly weapons.

And yet.....there were 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s.......there are now 357 million guns in private hands in 2016.....and the gun murder rate dropped 49%.......so your post is pointless....
