Germany

I have added some content to the Germany section. I hope my English is good enough - if you feel it is not, please improve it. Hundehalter (talk) 22:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the Germany section there are some obvious mistakes: - Firearms Licences (Waffenbesitzkarten) which allow you to possess a firearms but not to carry it, are generally valid until revoked or until you sell all your firearms and return your licence. - the situation is different for licences that allow you to carry a firearm (Waffenschein). I know that these are valid for a limited time, but not for how long. Overall the german law on firearms is pretty complicated with loads of exceptions and special cases. I'll edit the article once I have more time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.76.23.181 (talk) 13:14, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Airsoft (confused)

Hello, I've noticed that airsoft was under the 'April,2008 amendment'. Is airsoft legal in Germany? (86.169.213.127 (talk) 23:14, 23 June 2009 (UTC)).[reply]

Hitler's comments

The content added here (and which I restructured here) concerns me as not being overly relevant to the gun laws themselves. It is very hard to figure out the relevant because I don't have access to the text - a quick review of the text/material would be beneficial. I am hesitant to remove the content purely for being hate speech and by Hitler because it does appear to rationalise the gun laws that were brought in (which would make it relevant) --Errant Tmorton166^(Talk) 10:39, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kristallnacht OR?

I've added the OR tag to this bit "It would be difficult not to associate this ban on Jewish ownership of weapons with Kristallnacht," I'm sure this may well be right, but we don't usually do this by making our own associations or commenting on the difficulty of doing so - surely we need a proper reference, so that it is not original research?
