SeaJ OP ,

Juries out on why he decided to use a knife since criminals do not care about gun laws. /s

Theoretically they should already have them. Solingen is a city famous for the production of cutlery, and is where Böker is based among many, many others like Wüsthof, Zwilling, Eickhorn, Wolfertz, etc. It is literally known as the “City of Blades.” The town’s coat of arms has two crossed swords on it.

One wonders if the location of this attack was deliberately chosen for just that reason.

Germany is also well known for having an array of insane knife laws.

Guns are not necessarily easy to get in some places.

SeaJ OP ,

I know. Many gun nuts say gun restrictions are pointless because criminals do not follow the law. That makes little sense. Making them harder to get means it is harder for criminals to get them.

These are both extreme rightwing groups, that benefit from a victim narrative.

Let’s be honest, they’d take credit for my scraped knee if it got them mentioned in the news.
