the legislator in Germany is rather on the side of "perpetrator protection"
Well, I would rather say that victim protection needs to be drastically and effectively improved, but that the legislator actively protects perpetrators is rather less likely to be true.
I look enviously at the Austrians, who must be granted permission to acquire a weapon with the justification: "keeping a weapon ready for self-defense."
I cannot understand any envy towards gun owners and users. That is also too simplistic for me, if one believes that "good" wars could bring peace. A look at the USA and other nations shows that the opposite is the case.
And if the person also shows a certain training with the weapon, the "level of security" certainly moves immensely to the forefront.
And what does the "trained" gun owner do when something rustles in the bushes? What does he do when two perpetrators come? Does he then shoot with both hands? The number of often uninvolved dead is extremely high and every single one is one too many. What do you do when the children are home alone? Do they also have weapons? Are they trained in this as well? From what age? Or does protection for the children only apply if dad is home and has not drunk anything? Is mom allowed, too?
And burglaries are decreasing, as can be very well seen in Austria.
Well, I would like to be able to examine that more closely; of course there are also the appropriate statistics for previously made decisions. In a country where the intoxicated vice chancellor wanted to sell democracy to some blonde woman testosterone-loaded, such a decision does not surprise me either. Strache’s companion constantly jumped through the camera image like a little monkey with a funny weapon pantomime.
Burglars fear the risk.
That is true to a certain extent, nevertheless looking back shows that there are not fewer criminals, they only adjust their actions. So the lever should be different than to put a gun in every man’s belt, even if that would lead some men to new feelings of happiness. Just imagine, everyone in your neighborhood has a gun and you don’t decide who that is. So also your opponent, the unrecognized drunkard, the choleric, the inhibited one, the one with poor vision, the nervous one and the jealous one......... better not.
