The solution against rednecks is proper regulation, rule of law, medical checks, background checks and training, training, more training. Safety first.

My sincerest apologies, but I cannot understand why do you expect the police to care about us. If a terrorist attack/national emergency occurs - we have none to rely upon other than ourselves. We need guns for those situations.

I absolutely admire btw how well things work in Germany... Including the institutional capacity to deport migrants. Haha. But, I imagine your conception about gun laws and self defense is not just rooted in Kant's theory (very engaging) but also the post WW2 mentality. However, there is nothing wrong with exercising every step needed for your safety. I don't believe it's a healthy extreme to ban guns.

Final example. You know how in Europe Roma people are always discriminated? Everyone says they defecate in people's gardens and whatnot. Well, they don't have that in the US because of the Castle Doctrine. Everybody knows that there are consequences for intruding in someone's home. And it's logical. Tolerance and best cosmic friends forever until you invade my home. Why should we think about the safety of the perpetrator when we did nothing wrong? Even if our target is a minor...
