Hi Dieter,
That's terrible. It sounds as if you now have the same kind of laws as we have here in the UK. In fact it must be worse as we can still legally own rifles with a permit and with another special permit collectors can own pistols made before 1918 - although they cannot own ammunition or fire them.
This will cost the German government a fortune in compensation payments. The argument about gun crime is absurd - no drug dealing mafioso is going to start a shoot out with an old collector grade Luger, when he can buy a mini-uzi or a SIG on any street corner.
You have my condolences,
Best regards,
John
