Germany's Gun Ownership Debate Sparks Calls for Stricter Regulations

The ongoing debate surrounding gun ownership in Germany highlights significant concerns regarding regulatory oversight. Advocates for reform, such as Left-wing parliament member Ronald Hande, emphasize the inadequacy of current controls, which occur only every 24 years.

In Thuringia, over 128,000 firearms are registered, with nearly 28,000 requiring permits. Furthermore, alarming statistics reveal that over 100 individuals with ties to right-wing extremism possess legal permits for firearms in Hessen.

The Interior Ministry has initiated the revocation of licenses for some of these individuals, indicating a recognition of the potential risks associated with lax regulations. As calls for structural reforms grow, the need for a more vigilant approach to gun ownership remains a pressing issue in the political discourse.

Gun Ownership: Left-Wing Faction: Too Few Controls on Gun Owners

The Left-wing state parliament member Ronald Hande criticizes the lack of control over gun ownership in Thuringia. According to him, the controls are carried out only every 24 years, while the total number of registered firearms is more than 128,000 and just under 28,000 people are in possession of weapons that require a permit. Hande calls for a structural reform of the control system, mainly due to a lack of personnel.
