Lol. How about asking some relevant questions instead?

Also, since when does BILD hire respected pollsters? Usually they prefer to run their own phone-in polls where they can be certain that the result follows the editorial line.

Germany's desparation to purge itself of anything questionable has made it more like the Nazis themselves.

If you think banning certain products is comparable to rounding up people for extermination, then sure.

Yeah, that's what I want to know about. I was always more into Superego shooters - much more internal dialogue. It's so boring fragging ogres when you don't know why it's necessary to save the world from x evil force.

Obviously.  They're certainly more dangerous.

Apparently the Social Democrats like the NPD more than the CDU.

It's entirely unsurprising that the Nazis came to power in Germany and not some other country.

Somewhat interesting how Europe pretends to be more liberal and democratic.

Banning guns is a perfectly sane and positive position. Most civilised (and uncivilised) countries have done away with them.

America behind the curve as always.

Also, it's strictly not "banning guns" that they asked for - question's shaped by a discourse along the lines of "well okay, so hunters and gun club members need guns, that makes sense; but it still doesn't make sense that they'll let them lie around at home where their kid has access to them (as happened in the 2009 Winnenden school shooting, not that it's rational to draw too many conclusions from that, of course). How about they are required to put them in safe storage at the club facilities?" (as is already done by many German gun owners anyways.)

Banning Neo-Nazi parties is something the Nazis would do?

Well that's right. Not because Germans like banning things though, but for completely different reasons, of course.

Banning guns (i.e. enforcing certain limitations to people's right to walk around with lethal weapons) is only 2 steps from Nazism anyway, because...Huh
