That is objectively false.

And that's before you get into all the other restrictions that germany has on a national level. To pick out a few:
Gun license required for pretty much everything that isn't a musket
A license requires you to be over 18, be trustworthy, capable of owning a gun, have expert knowledge, and have a necessity for a gun
Ban on convicted felons, those with addictions or metal disorders from owning guns
Any weapon defined as a weapon of war is banned
Gun control in the U.S. is nowhere near the level of gun control in Germany. A requirement for a license to own a gun in the U.S. would get shut down by the 2nd amendment so fucking hard not even the NSA would know the attempt was made.
Did you read the article I posted? Gun licensing is the equivalent of our process to purchase a firearm. And your article is wrong. Fully automatic systems are regulated in the United States at the federal level. Why you shouldn't rely on Wikipedia for a topic you don't understand. You see differences that really are not there. Necessity is easy to get past, you hunt, sport shoot, etc
Still, how would any of these changed the Kansas City shooting? You keep trying to dodge the question of the article.
I understand how federalism works, evidently that skill escapes you.
You can legally own a fully automatic gun in the U.S., unlike Germany. Even your cherypicked point is wrong.
I've already answered this, and the answer went sailing over your head.
Then clarify as I don’t see how how any of this would have stopped the shooting.
Your chart was wrong and I called it out. Are you intentionally posting false information since you knew it was wrong ?
You realize gun control really started during Nazi germany to keep the Jews from defend themselves. After the war it was the allies who stripped away most the gun rights to keep the population from attacking the allies.
Nah, you're not worth the effort. You'd just find a new way to side step the meaning of what I am saying.
I just explained why it isn't.
And this country was founded on the blood of the natives, and built by slaves. So what?
and this is why people see you as a troll. You don’t want to have discussions. You just want to throw insults.
Not with you. But I am happy to point out the bullshit.
No, I'd much prefer it if there was no need. But the mod team around here is impotent to maintain civility, and so invariably conversations around here end in insults. I don't go starting shit. But I sure as shit am not going to sit around idly in the face of insults.
Also, this you? Get off your high horse.
