Austria has a large number of weapons, low-arms violence and new questions

Some of the most popular conversations An online forum for weapons enthusiasts Turn off the latest releases in firearms accessories such as Austria, muffler and target vision or review the country’s shooting ridges. On Tuesday afternoon, a relatively sleepy discussion was made on “Weapons Law / Reform Attempts.”

“A new era of weapons begins,” A user with a screen name wrote in German on Aug-Andy, Pulverdampph. “This is not behind it, especially because the majority of the population happened in a bad time. Now all those who help are pray.”

Question “Shooting” shocked Austria on Tuesday morning. The second largest city in Austria was fired in a past student, a shotgun and a shotgun on a campus in the high school city of Austria. He killed at least 10, or fatally injured, the government said before the school killed himself in the bathroom. This was an unusual event of an attack on Austria’s most deadly school and public schoolchildren in Europe.

It is also a lot to a country with rare weapons culture – the Western European neighbors, as well as in the United States.

However, this cannot lead to sweeping the laws of weapons that many online commentators fear.

According to a small weapon survey in Geneva, Austrians, the world’s 12th owner ownership, have the highest weapon property in the world. There are also relatively low rates in arms violence.

As a share of the population, according to statistics, Canada, Israel and Scandinavia have less than weapons in Austria Reported by the Union Foundation. The US rate is almost 17 times in Austria.

Many Austrians are more liberal than most European countries, and potential owners also require the potential requirements to meet harsh requirements before receiving weapons.

Therefore, immediately after the attack, several prominent figures also called wholesale changes to these laws.

The school shootings are more common and democratic leaders and lawyers aimed at weapons violence are often a contrast where there are serious arms laws. At the federal level, these calls rarely made a lot of change in politics.

Throughout Europe, past school shootings often brought serious restrictions on weapons. Germany has already tasted serious rules after school shooting in 2002 and 2009. 13-year-old child Serbian President after starting a massacre in a Belgrade school in 2023 promised to push for “almost complete disarmament” The amnesty program for people, including people, should also become illegal weapons.

He accused an Austrian political leader, Tuesday evening after the shooting. It was Graz Mayor, Elke KahrFrom the Communist Party, who said: “I think that weapons licenses are given very quickly. In my point of view, only our executive authorities for security and protection are not only personal individuals.”

No federal officer seems to say anything close to it. On Tuesday, the Federal Director General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the Director General for Social Security, the Federation Federal Officer Franz Ruf for the changes in Franz Ruf. Saying that in the light of mass shooting, “We must check whether the legal requirements are incomplete.”

The Green Party of Non-Management Coalition has often pushed the laws of arms in the online weapon forum, often in the topic.

The laws are already tougher than the United States. The Austrian seminal weapons is called WaffenSetz, called the requirements of the seminal weapons, and seriously restricts the property of certain military weapons. If a potential recipient receives the federal permission, they allow hunting rifles and property of certain rifles and shotguns.

The permit process shows a good cause for a weapon to work safely and to show a good cause for a weapon and usually for hunting or sports shooting.

Police said the armed person was allowed to have these requirements in the graz attack and allowing these demands and weapons used in the shots.

MPs tightened the laws of Austria in the late 1990s with the rules of the European Union. The result, Researchers were found in the study in 2018It was a decline in the degrees of suicide and seriousness related to firearms. However, after the global financial crisis of 2008, Austrians began to assess more weapons.

Wednesday’s Wednesdays were open along Ganz, although no worker did not want to talk about the shooting about shooting. Some weapons tried to mean what was transported the day before.

Alois Stampf, from the Graz Police Sports Association, said that the club comrades are mourning a telephone conversation.

“I lost for words,” he said.

After the attack, he added that he hindered the club’s shooting area.
