A serious government crackdown is taking place that is causing chaos.
It is a scary situation for everyone who is involved.
And this crackdown is proving that gun control is a total failure.
European countries love to hold it over America’s head that they have gun control, which supposedly makes their countries into utopias that don’t have to worry about violence.
They have successfully fooled many young people in America into believing that line of thinking, until those people visit Europe and realize that the exact opposite is true.
In fact, Europe has plenty of violence, despite their draconian gun laws that make private ownership of a gun nearly impossible.
They have had to deal with terrorism at a level that far exceeds what the U.S. has had to deal with in the years following 9/11.
Germany had a scary terrorist attack recently that led to panic across the entire country and an increased demand for a government crackdown.
Now the German government is cracking down on knives, the weapon used in the attack, in a tacit admission that their crackdown on guns failed to prevent violence.
According to The Truth About Guns, “In the aftermath of a recent attack in which a Syrian Islamic extremist wielding a knife murdered three innocent festival goers and wounded eight others, authorities in Germany are pushing forward with a plan to ban knives.”
“Just a few days after the attack, Olaf Scholz, the country’s Social Democratic Party Chancellor, announced the proposal to ban knives at most public events.”
Now that knives are going to be banned, it remains to be seen how Germans will go about eating bratwurst or knockwurst at the aforementioned public events.
Perhaps they will have to use a fork to cut the sausage instead of a knife in order to comply with the new laws.
The article continues, “Germany has one of the strictest gun control policies worldwide. Of course, that is what kept festival goers disarmed during the attack and unable to teach the attacker the old adage about the fallacy of ‘bringing a knife to a gunfight.’”
“The German knife ban proposal, of course, comes at the same time some U.S. knife laws are being overturned based on the 2022 Supreme Court ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. Just last week in Massachusetts, the Commonwealth’s Judicial Court, the highest court in the state, ruled that switchblades fall under the same Second Amendment protection as firearms do and cannot be banned by the state.”
This should be a reminder to Americans that for all the talk about our freedoms disappearing, America is still much freer than the rest of the world.
Buying a gun in the most anti-gun state in America – say, Massachusetts or New York – is still significantly easier than buying a gun in a place like Germany where they are mostly banned.
It’s also a reminder that gun control simply does not work, and the countries that have tried it are finding that out the hard way.
