Vainamoinen: 5.5m total firearms (not firearm owners) estimated,
1.4m registered firearms owners,
that probably comes down to significantly less than 5% ... not 50%.
src " But even given Germany’s strict gun policies, the country was still home to the fourth-highest number of legal guns per capita in 2013, falling behind just the United States, Switzerland and Finland.
About 2 million people own more than 5.5 million legal guns in Germany for a population of more than 80 million.
On top of that, police unions have estimated that there are up to 20 million more illegally-owned guns in Germany - this would mean roughly 30 guns for every group of 100 people."
Vainamoinen: Don't talk to shooting range owners. They're dumb people who usually made a senseless investment.
Haha, poor police officers! If they would know that =)
I enjoy talking to them, they are most of the time very aware and psychically stable, especially due to regulations requiring that =)
