That is absolutely despicable behavior. I can’t imagine how a person could be so heartless to do such a thing to these poor defenseless animals and not share any of the meat with me!!! You should be ashamed of yourself.
That is how Hitler took over your country, the Jews had no defense.
I think there’s a lot more at play than just stricter gun laws in this scenario. For one thing America has a 4 times larger population than Germany. Poverty rates, gang activity, and drug use are all higher in America. Honestly I don’t see the problem with the gun laws. As it is now convicted felons cannot purchase a gun. So what exactly do you think needs to change as far as gun laws? Simply saying stricter laws doesn’t actually provide any type of solution without being more specific on what the actual problem is with the current laws we have now.
Not quite right! Germany has about 80 million inhabitants, the USA has more than 340 million inhabitants, which makes a ratio of 4.2 if I am not too bad in my head calculation.
But it's not about which country has more or less inhabitants, but why there are so many murders and suicides with firearms in the US, and in Canada, where, statistically speaking, there are almost as many firearms per inhabitant, but there are still fewer murders and suicides (170 in 2019).
It's a problem that you have in the U.S., and unless you do anything about it, there will continue to be school massacres, rampages, and deadly neighborhood disputes. If people continue to die out of fear of the stranger, people will continue to arm themselves out of fear. Gun sales rose in the U.S. after Biden won the election. And, weapons in the hands of fascists like the "Proud Boys" and "Christian" militias is not a good idea, because it brings the US even closer to the abyss, makes it a banana republic.
Ok you only addressed one of the four contributing factors that I mentioned and still didn’t provide any actual advice on what needs to be changed with the current gun laws. Population was only one contributing factor and let’s keep in mind that the goal is not to reduce homicide by guns it’s to reduce homicide all together.

Ok I had to cut my last post short but what I was saying is that the goal is to reduce homicide not just homicide by guns. Obviously if people who want to commit homicide don’t have access to a gun they will resort to other methods. Here’s a website comparing crime rates between America and Germany. Germany even has more police officers than America despite America’s population being four times larger. Like I said there’s a lot more than simply gun laws to consider in this comparison. With the crime rate so much higher in America citizens need to have the right to protect their family.
Germany vs United States: Crime Facts and Stats
My answer to this would be, why did the apostle Peter have a sword?
1When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. 2And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples. 3Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5They answered Him, “Jesus [a]of Nazareth.”
Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”
And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” 9that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”
10Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?”
For me this is a interesting question, but the moderators here do not feel it is worthy for discussion?
More people in America commit suicide by firearms than actually killing other people.
Women tend to use poison for homicide than use a firearm.
