Last month<\/a>, a man of Iranian heritage killed nine people in Munich with guns that he had bought illegally on the “darknet” – where most of the terrorists in Europe get their guns. In response to that attack on Germans, like many Leftist governments, German legislators have largely supported tightening firearm ownership on legal gun owners. <\/p>\n

The German political party Alternative for Germany (AfD), however, is asking for looser regulations so that Germans are able to protect themselves, according to Russia Today<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people are increasingly feeling unsafe. Every law-abiding citizen should be in a position to defend themselves, their family and their friends,” [Frauke Petry, who is the head of the anti-immigrant party] said. “We all know how long it takes until the police can get to the scene, especially in sparsely populated places,” she added.<\/p>\n

According to the politician, her party is currently the only force opposing tougher gun laws in Germany.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would affect the law-abiding citizens – and not those who get their weapons from the darknet,\u201d Petry said. She also slammed the current gun law debate as essentially portraying \u201clegal gun possession as something more scandalous than those illegally having weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Petry is equally worried about the fact that the German police have witnessed massive budget and personnel cuts over the past years, while cross-border crime has skyrocketed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It seems to me that any rational person would admit that taking more guns from the law-abiding citizenry would be playing into the hands of terrorists, but then legislators aren’t rational people. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
