Thread: Germany's top court says army can use weapons on German streets in extreme situations

Do they know something that we should be aware of? What are they preparing for?

BBC News - German court widens army's internal crisis role

Here in the states, after Obama won the Presidency, I went to a gun shop where the owner and I talked straight razors. We were looking at some pistols and the shop guy said that he could sell me the gun but not any ammo. After Obama won there was a run on ammo and most places were out of stock. These days, not related to Obama as far as I can tell, the talk is about domestic terrorism so we have the Patriot Act. Talk about a card blanch, from the limited I understand, anyone domestic or foreign arrested under the Patriot act can be gone forever w/o a trial. Is Germany moving in the same way? What is the real reason for this policy outside what they are telling the common person?
