  1. As a german non- gunowner, i think that other shooters on the range , seeing a rare/ unusual weapon, will look interessted and do some questions if there is a possibility.

  2.  @Intelwinsbigly  : I am not Britta herself, i am her boyfriend, only using the same Computer ,Anschluß', don' t know the english word. I am 55 and basicly a conservative / rural factory worker, and a ,nostalgic' supporter of ,parlamentary monarchy' as it is in Great Brittain. For decades/Jahrzehnte i voted for CDU Party, so when Angela Merkel became leader of CDU party and first female chancellor in more than 1000 years of german history, i had no problem. But after a short time i was very dissappointed, she does no policy for the ,average german on the street'. I personnally am very angry about her.

  6.  @stijnVDA1994  : I am not Britta herself, but her boyfriend and 55 now. When i was a child, many midaged rural men owned a,singleshot rifle in . 22 LR or 6mm Flobert to shoot rats. In current days, gun owners in Germany have a problem with new gunlaw of European Union. One problem is that german gouvernement allways tries to make Weapon/ Gunlaw as hard as possible, so they add things to European Union gunlaw, which are not intended to European Union gunlaw. In case of Airsoft ,weapons(?)' we in Germany can buy copies of full auto firearms, but even in as weapons not useable Airsoft ,weapons', full auto is not allowed here. I am no gunowner, i am only interessted in historical weapons shown in museums, castles/palaces, but i don' t believe that our current german law, about weapons really protects someone of being a victim of crime.

  7.  @Intelwinsbigly  : The current heads of Wittelsbach and Württemberg are wellreputated gentlemen, but older than 80 years now. So for an emperor from formerly royal families, the heads of Hohenzollern or Wettin have a better age. But like in HRE time, the new emperor should be elected, but of course no more by electors/Kurfürsten, but by the people. Even our Federal President/ Bundespräsident as ,Head of State' has very few power, he is not elected by the people!!! The political parities in federal Parlament: The oldest party, founded in the 1880s /90s is the SPD ( Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands). They once had Bern the ,working mans party' , and after removing communist ideas arround 1950, they became a mostly moderate left party, but in 1970s many nonworkers entered the party, and they became leftwing again, but has forgotten the working man. The FDP ( Freie Demokratische Partei) was liberal in german sense, not really right or left, they are interessted in free economy, this was formerly the party of shopowners, rich farmers, owners of small factories. This Party has lost its former importance. The CDU ( Christlich Demokratische Union), in Bavaria CSU ( Christlich Soziale Union) was once the conservative party, from moderate conservatives to patriotic ,but not really right wing, conservatives, supported by industry, banks, farmers and the churches. But in the time of Angela Merkel the CDU (and also CSU) did a step to left to be centric, the patriotic members and ideas are mostly removed. The Party calls itself still conservative, but the conservative part of US Democrats are more conservative/ patriotic than ,conservative' CDU. A sidenote to the churches: We also have some smaller churches as it is common in USA, but most germans are members either of Lutheran church ( in Germany known as Evangelisch) or Catholic. Formerly the Evangelische/ Lutheran church was moderate left and Catholic church conservative/ moderate right, but today Lutheran church is liberal in US sense and Catholic church moderate left. Nest Party is the Grüne, this Party is this what in USA is seen typical/ totally liberal. The Party ,Die Linke' is basicly former communist/socialist East german ,SED' ( Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands) painted with democracy. The AfD ( Alternative für Deutschland) is a patriotic/ conservative Party, but they have a problem : Inside oft this Party there is a strugle between conservatives in Old Time CDU style and real right wingers, and it is unclear, who wins. I ( not my girlfriend Britta) am 55, german style trained worker/ Facharbeiter and born in the area arroud Stuttgart. When i was a child, you could say ,rural area' but today the rural element is nearly disappeared. Formerly the workers, craftsmen, hands and many Bureau employees still had the very small farms of their ancestors. In those Region ( Altwürttemberg ) there are the smallest german farms. My father, who was trained worker like me, stopped farming and sold the last four cows. So i know also something about farming. But when you look arround, the ,liberal' lifestyle ( US sense) is growing more and more, in newspapers, TV and politics the working man ( Farmer, craftsman, worker, ordinary employees) appeares rarer and rarer, the persons liked by liberals more and more. The working man is more and more the uneducated and unneccessary hillbilly/ Hinterwäldler, while the liberal townsman is described as ,crown of human development'. So i think you are not surprised, when i don' t like the Situation in my country.
