    So Germans are getting guns, and Germany is liscencing them to do it.

    "According to a report from Deutsche Welle, rising perceptions of “insecurity” were cited as a driving factor in the increase of issued firearms licenses. Some have suggested that the trend could trigger situations similar to the US, where gun violence has become a major social problem.

    German authorities issued more than 600,000 weapons licenses, representing an increase of 130% since 2014, according to the latest figures published by Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND)."

    Why do you think this would be happening?

    Do you really need proof on that one? Come on, it's France and Poland. They have lots of things to look worried about.

    I heard special Kevlar-lined pants that help protect women from rape are also becoming somewhat of a thing in Germany.

    A miniature spring trap works much better, he's tries to stick it in, hits the trip plate and gets Bobbitted, an alternate version of having ones head chopped off.

    I've also heard women in Europe are feeling reluctant to take public transportation these days.

    Women in Europe are afraid to step outside of their homes these days and their daughters are getting groomed.

    Oftentimes women just describe it as "not feeling comfortable" is certain places. They have a general sense of unease, that maybe they can't quite (or don't want to) put their finger on.

    This would have been virtually unheard of in Germany 25 years ago.

    I was thinking they could come up with a vagina bear trap and what do you know, there is a design for something similar.

    They're feeling weak again. Whenever the Germans feel weak they resort to militant activities. It's the same thing here in America. The increase in the number of firearms adrift within the population is a sign of Americans feeling insecure, defenseless. Creeping modernity is having as powerfully disturbing effect here on the unprepared as it is the middle east. Who voted for Trump? The frightened and unprepared. Who carries a weapon? The frightened and unprepared.

    Such as law enforcement officers, military personnel, and various government agencies?

    Changing a post by another is a violation of forum rules just so you know

    And now you will be moderator flagged by an anti-gunner.

    They love using any method to suppress thoughts and opinions that doesn't fit their narrative.

    The correct way to have worded that question would have been. "Who carries a weapon? Only the rational and prepared."

    Yeah, I know. After a certain point all you can do is shrug.

    They are individuals, as well as groups of individuals, that carry firearms and various other weapons on a daily basis wherever they may go. By the assessment presented on the part of yourself, they are frightened and unprepared.
