@rothko @RickiTarr tell him about how gun laws work in Germany... no private ownership outside of hunting and sport shooting, each sporting weapon has to be approved individually, there's a top limit on number (5-10, I think), no sporting weapons outside of calibers you actually shoot, minimum 1 year club membership & club has to vouch for you, requirements about type of safe to store in, guns have to be stored unloaded, irregular and unannounced controls about this, no carrying permissions for anyone but a select few (cash couriers, mostly)...
Yet somehow, we still haven't been overrun by communism. Long history of centre-right governments, actually.
