If my lurking on 4chan is any indication the Germans remaining today are pretty neutered. There seriously have trouble comprehending our fixation on the 2nd Amendment for the most part. It is very interesting. One would think if there were a group of people who would “get it” it would be them.
Their ‘fixation’ is mostly all based on the fact that they live in some village, town or city where the cops could be called and react in five minutes or less. Up until the last couple of years, you never had to worry about break-in’s or burglary events...course that’s changed since 2013. If you took the national population and did the statistical review over murders, there just aren’t numbers like you’d see in Baltimore or Memphis. So they attempt to view the US issue via their own lenses.
On the other hand...they also have a law or two which says if you are ‘nuts’ (good example of paranoid schizophrenic) and present a threat to the public...they do lock you up and you don’t ever get out.
