Call-to-arms by German populist right AfD [i.e. RKBA]

Populist right-wing AfD party co-leader Frauke Petry has encouraged Germans to carry firearms. She claims the government has lost its state monopoly to protect the public, especially in thinly populated areas.

Petry, who caused an uproar January by suggesting German police could use firearms to deter incoming refugees, on Saturday called into question Germany's policing and stringent gun ownership law in the wake of deadly attacks last month.

There were no grounds for concern when citizens armed themselves for self-protection in areas where austerity measures by national and regional governments had “systematically ruined” police services, Petry told the Funke Media Group based in Essen.

So it’s taken the Huns how long to figure out what our founding fathers knew 200 hundred years ago? And which culture is older?

You gentlemen may be a little late in your quest for Broomhandle Mausers. Germany’s not the place to look, either.

Frankonia Jagd, the German Cabela’s, sold scads of them in the 1990’s. With stocks, advertised as “Aus dem Kaiserreich!” (from Imperial Germany). I just went to their website; Lugers but no Broomhandles.

The Chicoms exported thousands here after Ronald Reagan scrapped GCA-68’s import restrictions in the 1980’s.

Best to hit the gun auction sites. I’ve bought several; it’s a matter of timing. Good luck.
