Mr. Grafe, after the killing spree in Winnenden in 2009, the anniversary of which was March 11, you launched the "No murder weapons as sporting weapons!" initiative. founded. They call for the disarmament of marksmen. Why? Most of the million or so are peaceful. I'd like to think so too. But one murderer is enough for a murder. And that's one too many. The right to life of an individual naturally outweighs the right of others to fun and sport. Incidentally, in Germany only about 350,000 marksmen shoot with sharp weapons. The others use air guns or light point devices. The risk of deadly sporting weapons is unmanageable. That's why we call for a ban on these weapons, regardless of their caliber.
