Hmmmm....Hitler's returning?

[Winston Smith]

I hear the echo's of 1938,193,19,1....

[Sparta]

Ping!!!

If you want on or off my Germany ping list, let me know.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Have I mentioned lately that Germany should go piss up a rope?

[The Obstinate Insomniac]

bang

[GreenCell]

This is pure unadulterated BS...Gestapo actions re-emerging and U.S. soldiers being affected. We should pull completely out of that country and let them go their separate ways...albeit probably back to goose-stepping Nazi's....This Germany is a poor excuse for a country...it's an emberassment to NATO and other countries tyring to get ahead.

[HogFixer]

And, OUR government will help them. Makes me sick. Another country I don't want an assignment for.

[Mulder]

What purpose does having US troops in Germany serve now that the Soviet threat is gone?

We need to pull out of Germany, especially if they are going to harass American servicemen with obscene regulations.

[Fiddlstix]

Hmmmm.....maybe they're planning on starting another world war and you can't have private ownership of guns if that's your plan....
(After all, they were successful at that twice in a row)
(.....of their "many" real successes)
</sarcasm>

[PatrioticAmerican]

So? Several states have outrights bans on soem guns.

[Imal]

The new rule is the latest evolution in gun regulation changes that began in 1999

Actually, that process began in 1928, when the Weimar Republic enacted the first of a series of "gun control" laws that ended up assisting the Nazis in seizing and maintaining power.

This particular act has a ring to it. From Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons, enacted on November 11, 1938:

§1 Jews (§5 of the First Regulations of the German Citizenship Law of 14 November 1935, Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 1333) are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority.

§2 Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew's possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation.

[blackbart.223]

"Germany again tightens rules governing (American's) privately-owned firearms."

Hitler thought gun control was a good idea. Enough said.

[Barnacle]

Germany just keeps pissing us off!

No more Beck's for me folks. I haven't touched it for months.

[ZULU]

Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles, ueber alles in die Welt!!

Some things never change.

The rotten French should all be speaking German, and the ungrateful Germans should all be speaking Russian, if it weren't fotrAmerica, America's guns and Americans sons who knew how to use them!!

[ZULU]

"Waffenbesitzkart"

Is that like the Waffen S.S.?

The U.S. should pull ALL our troops out of ANY country that presumes to impose its own peculiar laws on American citizen-soldiers stationed there!!

[Looking4Truth]

Un-freakin-real!

Our guns are the reason these people aren't either speaking Russian or living under some evil dictator.

I'm so speechless that 'Un-freakin-real' is the best I can do.

BTW, I used to work for the organization that published that article. When I lived there for a few years I saw the incrementalism at its finest. Socialist fools!

Now my understanding of how the German political parties define political leanings is a little vague, so no one get offended at my choice of terms like 'Socialist', bitte. I'm writing from an American perspective.
