Rule35:
You seem like a reasonable mentally stable person with a respect for the power that a firearm brings. The issue is that with all tools be they an AR15 (before moving to the Germany I wanted to build an AR10 with a 7.62 caliber barrel — that would have been fun to go plinking with) or nuclear weapons or anything in between it’s how do we prevent the less sane, those that would do the innocent harm?
I don’t envy the politicians here. Their job is very hard. They have to weigh legitimate uses for self defense, recreation, hunting, etc., against those that would use them to kill many on a mass scale.
One thing that did cause alarm in your most recent post was this: “ You aren't shooting at 600m, but perforating a car at 30m.” Why is anyone shooting at a car? In the US some states if the suspect is fleeing you can’t pursue, but this is getting into the weeds of things. Suffice it to say that this is a thorny issue with no real easy fix or silver bullet (pun not intended). I do maintain that if the time to get a gun went from same day to a month I personally would be willing to pay that cost in waiting.
