How to get a gun legal in germany

http://www.google.de/#hl=de&sclient=...w=1024&bih=605


If you could read this, you can probably imagine how difficult it is to buy a gun legal in Germany. The U.S is for us so as a paradise.
For a translation it is to long. Try it with the google translator.

Best regards
Thomas

Didn't read it. But, I have been told by a German about the hoops one must go through. It is difficult and frustrating. Most of the rules make no sense.

I'm afraid that I didn't have time to read it in its entirety. The last time I discussed this issue with a German (~20 years ago), his impression was that you had to either: (a) belong to a shooting club; or (b) be able to prove that someone was actively trying to kill you. Even if he was fairly far off the mark, it's always been my understanding that getting permission to own a firearm in Germany is very difficult. I've known quite a few Germans who came to visit the US as exchange students and most of them had never even held a gun, much less fired one. Then again, most of them were too young to have done their military service, either.
