Gun permits and the subsequent purchase of weapons have risen substantially in Cologne, Germany since the mass sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve of 2015.
The police have lost the public trust, as their response to the assaults, committed by marauding gangs of “foreign men”, was paltry. Now citizens feel they must arm themselves in order to feel safe in public places.
Estimates of at least eight to ten application requests are being presented to the Düsseldorf police, spokesperson Andre Hartwich stated. At this pace, the 1500 requests for 2015, will be more than doubled, though Hartwich believes the interest will decrease.
Thus far, Frankfurt Police procedural office reports that they have had at least 13 applications a day, in comparison to the previous year’s one to two a day.
When crime happens and the police to nothing, whether by government compulsion or negligence, the people will rise up to protect themselves, it is human nature to protect one’s own life.

Christianity has not been on a blood conquest for some time. I wish I could say this about Islam.
She destroyed not only Germany but all of Christian Europe ! She needs to be dealt with !
Of course, this is true everywhere, more guns = less crime.

True, mainly flare guns though. It’s tough to get a gun permit for a real gun, and illegal to carry unless you’re police or something similar. But pepper spray sales went through the roof, they’re sold out everywhere.
You all can’t carry guns?? That sucks
You need a special permit to even own one, and you have to regularily prove that you need it. Only police, security and I think hunters but I’m not sure about that one are allowed to carry a gun. Even the flare guns are not allowed at public events as far as I know.
Jeffery Karlson, read up on your history before posting ridiculous comments. And whatever wrongs the Christians did, they did go through a REFORMATION!! Something Islam has NEVER done!!!
