I am a bit undecided, when it comes to guns and g. control.
Freedom and all, ok.
I have used guns, but i do not need it. I can admire a good piece of craftmanship, be it a Coventry climax engine or a historic rifle. I do not like modern gun stuff though.
But in Europe, in a city.. what for. I f i lived in Canada, in a blockhouse, 300 miles away from the next village, i'd of course need it. But i would also need the skill to skin, pluck, and preserve food.
Having it for a balance towards some dictatorial government, and the armed forces? I guess not.
But then german military would probably not be able to get one helicopter in the air, when it was needed
