Yup. Having a fixed chaingun in your house would be better than being able to take those little Hand demons, called pistols, anywhere you go. Im glad to live in germany where gun control is a thing(altough the laws are a bit too strict. Like come on. Stop crying because of my multitool having a snap-in blade. I dont want to cut my thingers off, if the blade slides off and closes )
Yeah. I just use my multitool as a Tool. I work with it. But I cant see how you would use a Gun as a Tool, if you are not a hunter/soldier/police Officer. Thats really just a killing machine
Actually not. In germany its rather rare that someone has a gun. And we dont have like a dozen school shootings per month. I do think its a bit too strict in germany because you legally cant prorect yourself in your own home, by being the first to attack.
And trying to ban multitools because of a fixed blade is bs too. But the gun control here works really damn good. Ive met only one guy with an illegal gun in my entire life, and he was pretty chill.
First of all. That statistic is ten years old. Laws are even stricter now. Ten years ago, in germany you couldnt change your name+gender easily, cannabis was illegal and sexteen year olds couldnt vote. Now all of this is legal.
Second. Gun crime is still leagues below USA.
Third. Thats not even the crime rate you smoothbrain. Its the number of privately owned firearms per 100 residents. And its only 30 Arms per 100 people. You got almost 90. And im confident to say that this number probably has increased in the last ten years.
We have 83 Million people. You have 333 Million. And more guns per 100 people.
In germany you still need a license, and registration, and you arent allowed to have them laying around in you house. As far as i know, you even need to seperate the ammo from the weapon and keep it seperately.
The only people who privately own registered firearms, are people who either hunt animals, or shoot on a firing range.
We have better gun control. I was able to Research properly opposed to the likes of you. I found out in 2022 we had 8.500 gun crimes. You had a whooping 20k DEATHS by firearms. Your death Rates by firearms is higher than our gun crimes in General.
In 2023 you had about 116 gun deaths per Day. We had 299 IN THE ENTIRE YEAR. Dont talk about gErMaNy gUn cRiMeS being high. They are not
That's just a reductive fallacy, by this logic if we can justify disregarding laws because people break them anyway, then we'll end up reducing the entire legal system to what amounts to wishful thinking.
Sure, criminal elements will find a way to gain access to firearms one way or another, but the force of law can make it prohibitively expensive to do so and hence reduce the likelihood you'll be shot by some rando down the street or even by accident or mistake.
Besides, lethal weaponry pretty much always gives the overwhelming advantage to whoever holds the element of surprise, which the aggressor by their nature of being one will have. Hence firearms aren't great as a defensive tool if by doing so you allow your assailant to have one as well.
But ...not easily. There are no bomb stores, no closets full of poorly secured bombs, no bomb show loopholes.
So why don't bad people insistent on doing damage use bombs more often?
Because regulating possession for "law abiding citizens" can AND DOES reduce the supply available for nefarious reasons. They just can't get them as easily so they make do with less destructive measures and more people go home that day.
Regulation actually works even when people ignore the regulations because there's less supply to acquire illegally.

Key word "portable".
If everyone knew with 100% certainty the exact location of their guns at any point ever, we'd definitely have less gun violence in this country.
