So, the owner of German guns or a gun owner living in Germany??? Can Germans have an HK MP5 k or SP5 K??? SP89???

[@mc-sillix961]

​@@thedude883 living in germany. With a hunting license its easy to buy a SP5 as long as it defines as a rifle (more than 60cm oal and 30cm barrel incl chamber). I can buy it right now. A SP5 as a pistol like with a collapsible stock or folding stock i need to go to my authority first and get a "stamp" for a pistol. But we have a restriction for magazines. 20 round for pistols and 10 round for rifle.

[@highks496]

@@thedude883 the MP5 is only legal if you own a hunting licence because it's legally a rifle and it's too short for a sports-legal rifle. This topic with short rifles/pccs is a little weird, because some pccs like for example the Ruger PC9 charger are legally a pistol in Germany and it's easy to get them on all gun permits. However guns can only be a pistol (legally) if they are in a pistol caliber, so we don't have AR-pistols. These all count as short-barreled rifles. There's some tricks manufacturers can do to make short barreled rifles legal for sport shooters, like remove the M-Lok on the hand guard and modify the grip angle or something (stupid laws that are based on the appearance of the gun, I think you got something similar in California, too)

[@Scorpion-es9ri]

@@highks496Short Guns (under 60cm) have a caliber restriction of 6,3mm (≈ 0.25“). This was an effort in 2008 to ban certain pistols with good armor penetrating capabilities like the FN Five Seven or the 5,45x18mm Makarov Pistol. Short 5.56 carbines are a victim of it although you are fine as long as the gun is above 60cm total length.

Just one more Gun Law: For those who believe that more Gun Laws will make society safer, there is one thing that you fail to realize, laws are not meant to stop crime. The only purpose of laws is to outline the punishment if the rules of society are broken, no matter how hard you try, you can never legislate the evil out of people’s hearts. We don’t need more Gun Laws, we just need tougher prosecutors who charge and prosecute criminals when they commit crimes. The only purpose of Gun Laws is to turn Law Abiding citizens into sheep, removing their ability to defend themselves and their families. Remember, criminals don’t obey laws, that is why they are called criminals. P.S. What truly is a weapon of War? True weapons of war are Aircraft Carrier, Destroyers, Cruisers, Guided-Missile and Attack Submarines, Bombers, Fighter Jets, Tanks, Self-Propelled and Towed Artillery and there are many more examples of weapons of war. But Small arms such as pistols and rifles that have civilian crossover, such as self defense, hunting and shooting sports, even though used in war, should not be labeled as weapons of war. No matter how scary they look to Anti-Gun Activists.

[@patriotcountry4716]

Oh you forgot the F-15's that biden threatened Americans with if they dare do their constitutional duty that they have the constitutional right to do to remove a tyrannical regime that doesn't work for the people, but works only to enrich itself with the people's money, with more control, power.

[@highks496]

You're preaching to the choir, us German gun owners think the same way. However we do have these nasty left-wing socialists in government who openly say they want to completely disarm all German citizens. They've been saying it for decades, it's even in their official party program. The only reason we haven't been completely disarmed is because we do have laws and they can't just easily change them. And also because there an influential hunting lobby and a somewhat influential sports-shooting lobby who have been blocking these attempts over the years (sadly with a lot of stupid "compromises")

[@socomsmith3241]

It's a simple choice capitulation or freedom simple as it gets

[@mikeforester3963]

Just to point out the difference between a "hunting licence" in Germany vs. pretty much every other country: It's practically an open carry licence to perform hunting activity instead of a seasonal "ticket" one pulls to hunt certain game. It also functions as a purchase licence for longarms and munitions for these types of guns. To obtain a German hunting licence (Jagdschein) you go through a vigorous exam that pretty much qualifies you to properly handle firearms, makes you part veterinarian, part forester, part butcher, part farmer and part wildlife preserver. We call it the "Green Diploma" (Grünes Abitur). Later on you merely continue that licence for the next 3 years.

[@ijt_ijt]

Well Europe is not USA and the Gun law in the EU is the same but differently implemented. I as a Polish citizen have a sport firearms and a collection licence. It lasted 6 months to get them. I have right now 16 guns at home. AR-15, 308, 92fs, mini-14, mini-30 and so on. I can have up to 50 guns at my home after that i need a special room like Armory. Greetings from Poland

[@patriotcountry4716]

NO the gun laws in Europe are nothing like in America. For the simple fact Europeans do not have the God given, natural born, inalienable right to own firearms. Europeans are not protected under their constitution, because Europe is not a Constitutional Republic where Americans are born with their rights, freedom and those rights and freedom are protected under our constitution ,bill of rights that tells our government what they can NOT do. But do anyway because they are anti constitution tyrants. In my state I have the right to buy a g-un from a yard sale, flea market, individual without having to ask permission from anyone and can sale one to someone else that's of age without having a permit, license that I would have to ask permission for and pay for. The way it's supposed to be. But my states tyrants still infringe on my God given, natural born , inalienable right to own certain fire-arms. Laws that go against our constitution are null and void but Americans allow the tyrants to infringe on our rights. Most Americans and others don't understand that there is a difference between a Constitutional republic and a democracy, a democracy that the tyrants in Washington DC continue to claim we are like other country's when we're not like any other country.

[@mauricelone]

@ijt_ijt I stay in UK and the European license is allowed here, but we are not allowed handguns. So we decided to leave as European law did not protect our rights.

[@highks496]

The local laws in EU countries differ a lot! In the Czech Republic for example it's almost like Texas. You can easily get a concealed carry permit and buying guns for sports is super easy. They have a good gun culture and they are proud of their manufacturing tradition, especially CZ

[@user-sb8rv4ke6w]

Not intended as a knock against Christian, but you could see how the self-defense questions threw him off. He was clearly struggling to find the right words and avoided giving a completely straight answer. You know that a German gun owner would likely use their firearm to defend lives, but there's still a reluctance to openly admit it. On paper, German self-defense laws are actually quite reasonable. They don't always require the use of proportional force in certain situations either. However, that's just the theory. In practice, the state would never allow private gun owners at large to set a precedent by using firearms in self-defense or to protect others. Even if their actions were completely justified. There would still be repercussions. The state can't afford to allow such cases because it would fundamentally undermine their monopoly on the use of force.

There is a third "reasonable cause" to own firearms in Germany: collecting arms. Collectors even have a special license.... Besides sports shooting, hunting and collecting it is almost impossible to own firearms legally as a civillan in Germany. And: self defense is NOT a reasonable cause according to the german law. Process that... Kudos from Saxony....

[@highks496]

The collector's permit is not easy to get anymore though. They don't want people having large gun collections and so they raised the bar for a collector's permit so high that basically nobody gets one anymore. It used to be real easy in the 70ies or 80ies.

[@vdbverband]

We have been actively advocating for a comprehensive overhaul and liberalization of German firearms legislation. If there is interest, the Association of German Gunsmiths and Firearms Dealers (VDB) could potentially arrange a meeting with a defense lawyer.

[@herminatorschlachter]

@@curly__3 I don’t know the guy, so I have no reason to defend him, but all he does is just explain the rules you have to follow in Germany. As a German gun owner myself I can assure you, no gun owner here exercises a lot of flattery towards the administration. To keep our permission to possess a gun (not even to carry) we have to be the most law abiding NPCs you could imagine. They even had plans to forbid gun ownership for members of certain political parties. Also some sports shooters associations state it in their terms that they will terminate your membership if you openly criticize them, which would effectively result in loosing your guns. So out in public there’s only as much to say as has been said. For home defence cases, there is not much to tell either. If you get raided by burglars in your home at night your weapon would be unloaded and locked in your safe also magazines have to be unloaded in storage. So using a gun for home defence in Germany would be the most impracticable thing you could imagine unless you either have illegally stored a loaded gun in your night stand or have your gun safe next to your bed and are very quick in loading it. Also, if you want a gun permit, home defence is not a valid reason for granting permission. There are only 3 types of private gun permits: For hunters, for sports shooters and for collectors. If you don’t exercise one of these three hobbies/professions you simply will not own a gun legally. Not even police officers have a gun permit unless they are members of one the three groups. The best home defence is not living in or near big cities and not showing off any signs of wealth. Our dear leaders even plan on banning all knives in public. Assisted opening knives and stuff like that is already illegal to carry. Politicians stand there and say, we are a civilized country there is simply no valid reason to carry a knife whatsoever. So in the future as a gun owner you better not get caught carrying a Swiss Army knife or you will loose your guns. Obviously if you don’t go to the shooting range regularly you will also loose your permit. So if you are in a situation of life and death and have your loaded gun within reach you may defend yourself but it is highly unlikely that this will ever be the case. That’s why he was trying so hard to construct a scenario where that is the case because here it’s so unrealistic that you manage to get to your weapon in time instead of figuring out something else, that it’s almost unimaginable.

Based on my friend who's been living in Germany for decades, he tells me yes you can own a gun, but it's extremely hard making it not worth the time. This subject came up because last year, I was down in FL fishing, while concealed carrying. Met these two guy that came down to fish. They had an accent but it wasn't a Spanish accent like I expected, so I asked where they were from. They said Germany. After sometime of just talking and fishing, they offered me a beer. I told them no. They kept insisting that I have a beer with them. That was until I lifted my shirt to show them I was carrying. They both went quiet for like 10 mins.. I think it scared them. LOL

If you like guns, it is *absolutely* worth the time to get a gun permit in Germany! Even just from the social aspect alone, you meet the best people in gun clubs and at matches. I mean, it's not rocket science. It's easier and cheaper to get a gun permit in Germany than to get a driver's licence. And everybody gets their driver's licence.

I only mean regulations in terms of education and storage safety. The current knife-banning circus, all the crossbow/blankfire guns as well as the "omg it looks like a war weapon" is just sheer oppression because they will not point out the elephant in the room.

[@mikeforester3963]

52:40 Yes, for one part, but keep in mind that Germany and all other European nations have a long history reaching back to feudal times. In the old days hunting noble game (red deer f.i.) was privileged to nobility -- which is why we distinguish between "Hochwild" (big game) and "Niederwild" (small game). During the national revolution in the mid 19th century this privilege was done away with and hunting became a citizen's right, bound to land ownership. That led to quite some mayhem done to the overall wildlife population, so that regulations on seasons were made on governmental side and the minimum size of hunting leases (Reviere). In terms of tradition -- ethics, customs, language -- much stuff was carried over from feudal days and are still taught during the prep-courses. Which is why you, as a fresh hunter, proudly buy your green or brown fleece hat or "Baschlik" cap because you now entered another social class. Big traditional thing is the horn signals and everything involving the classic hunting doggos :) For this case I find the prep-courses and the exam on the stuff very important, and many a mere hunter turned out to be very engaged in wildlife and country preserving as well as stewardship over his "Revier".

Why didn’t he answer the question about the fastest way to get a weapon in Germany? It’s still the hunting license. You can get it within 3 weeks. The constant talk about the shooting club wasn’t correct in this context. You don’t need 18 shooting days a year, but 12 if you shoot regularly, 18 if you shoot irregularly, meaning not once a month, but for example, skip one month and then shoot twice in another month!

[@herminatorschlachter]

He should have said the easiest way is the sports shooters permit.

[@highks496]

Well, if you want to get the hunting licence in 3 weeks, it's not three weeks from *right now* Because you have to find a course/seminar first and take two weeks off work because you'll be studying all day long if you want to pass the test in that short amount of time. And these short courses/trainings are expensive. So if you really, really, really can't wait a few months, go for it. But the easiest way is to join a gun club, and go to their trainings at least once a month and it's all easy-peasy. I can only recommend it because you'll meet the best people at gun clubs in Germany.

@SentinelsGold Well if you have a firearms license for the purpose of hunting or sporting purposes, then if you use your firearm for defense purposes you are in violation of your license and will be charged accordingly most likely.

We have however a paragraph (§146 Grundgesetzbuch) that states "This Basic Law, which shall apply to the entire German people after the completion of the unity and freedom of Germany, shall cease to be valid on the day on which a constitution adopted by the German people in a free decision comes into force".

If you want to become an IPSC pro on the other hand you'll need to shoot like 1000 rounds per week and be a member in three different clubs in order to get enough training time. And then you'll have to shoot a lvl 3 match every weekend which is like 120 Euros entry fee plus 300 rounds of ammo. That is going to be prohibitively expensive for a lot of people, but it's not because of gun laws. It's roughly the same costs if you do this in the US.

Anyone in germany, who is not a registered criminal, who has no record for psychiatric problems and who makes at least 50k per year, can file for gun ownership and usually will get granted one. You just aren't allowed to run around with one, that isn't in a proper case and they are not for self defence, because there is nothing to defend against it anyway. Get a working social security and neither wont have to self defend against anyone. Trust me, i was someone, you wanted to self defence against, before the social security network had catch'd me and directed me to the right lane.

[@highks496]

A gun permit is not tied to your income, you just need a clean record and no psychiatric problems and/or drug/alcohol abuse (which they don't really check for, you don't have to visit a shrink, at least not yet...). However, if you make less than 50K a year keeping up an active sports shooting hobby could be difficult because it's not a cheap hobby here. You need a certified safe, you need a club membership, and guns are expensive, so is ammo.

[@goiterlanternbase]

@@highks496 It is tied to your income, because this hobby is artificially made too costly for social welfare or basic income🙃

[@highks496]

@@goiterlanternbase well yes, it is an expensive hobby. Depending on what you shoot and how much you train, it can escalate rather quickly. What I meant was that it's not legally tied to your income. If you can afford a 100 Euro/year membership in a gun club and you can get a cheap, used safe and a cheap, used handgun, you don't have to shoot a lot to keep your permit. The law just says you need to train 4 times per year I think, but it totally counts if you take 5 shots and call it a day.

No offense to your guest but none of that shit makes sense to me 😂

[@highks496]

It sounds completely convoluted (and it is!) but in reality you just become a member of a gun club and go there at least once a month and shoot a club-gun. The clubs are all prepared for this, it's the only way to get new members. Then they'll tell you "here's a course for your written test that you need, take it". Then after a year they'll tell you how to fill out the form for your gun permit and that's it. They'll also help you to get the right gun safe (which is required). It's much more streamlined and easy in reality because the gun club will guide you through all of it, and boom suddenly you got a safe and a gun permit. I can only recommend it, I've never met that many great people as I have met in German gun clubs!

[@patriotcountry4716]

Is he claiming Germany is a safe place, such a safe place because it actually is or because if he doesn't he'll go to jail for speaking the truth of how dangerous it's become in the streets of Germany?

[@highks496]

He wouldn't necessarily go to jail, but it's rather easy for the German government to revoke your gun permit if they really want to. So yes, Germany is a really safe place and a black woman invented the telescope! (edit: if you know the meme with the telescope this makes sense)

Gun ownership (like the majority of European countries) is heavily controlled and regulated. Every step is taken to make the process getting a license as difficult as possible. You should go look at how much a hunting license costs there, with the fact that germany has no wilderness (0.6% of it's landmass is wilderness). It becomes apparent that the only reason germans can even get a license is because the wealth and elites want access to firearms. It's a big club and the average german isn't in it. Due to this, if you happen to say, support or believe the wrong things, your privileges will be stripped away. At the moment, AFD members and supporters cannot even own a crossbow. It's overall an extremely tyrannical system meant to disarm the average person, which fits perfectly with how germany is as a whole.

[@highks496]

Dude, I'm a member of two different gun clubs in Germany and there' s a lot of normal people in those clubs. Other clubs, too. Of course it's not a hobby for the "poor", but most shooters are working people with normal, decent incomes. Of course there's some rich people here and there, but even those are not like 1% wealthy elites. The rich people that I know from my club(s) are contractors or dentists or other such occupations.

[@whodarboilebamnames3990]

@@highks496 The same way driving isn't for the "poor" due to a 4000 euro driver license? You admitted how expensive ownership is in Germany and how that drives away normal people. Also no, firearms aren't a hobby first, they're a tool. It is ridiculous to make people bend over backwards and pay out the wazoo to simply possess a tool to protect themselves and their homes. Which goes to the crux of my comment, tyranny.
