words and forward again now there's another one of the breach. still too high. anyone can take part in all of his trial courses the german rifle association has 16000 members and they consider the german too strict like in the us they want weapons for almost everyone. if it is about a pensioner who lives in her apartment and can't run away or defenders off with martial arts or. handicapped. or women who have been attacked. maybe a fear just shown a gun the attacker would have backed off it's. people who want to buy a gun for self protection in germany are often refused

a license they have to prove that their own lives are more at risk than those of the rest of society this applies for example to employees of cash in transit companies or security personnel but would private firearms really make our society safer the counter example is australia where semiautomatic rifles were banned in 1996 since then the number of deaths from shooting every year has harmed suicides using have also dropped to less than a 3rd. but i have to admit one thing. although i don't think gun should be freely available here in a shooting range it's pretty cool. why did i find shooting fun i'm going to find out at a university hospital in aspen and undergo a test by dr klaus multi-axis head of psychosomatic. your. nose when i would have i don't have

a real gun in my hand so is it anything like reality either from them from what we know of course the mechanics are somewhat different but it seems the brain responds in exactly the same way for a simulation and a real situation is that it is a. uncurious so i'll take off anything metallic that are inserted like yours is from it set up over here. to find out what happens in my head when i shoot i take an m.r.i. scan. with a joystick in my hand and a screen above me i have to shoot as many opponents as possible. klaus observes how my brain reacts. and indeed every time i hit an opponent the reward system is activated at the same time the part of the brain responsible for empathy is switched off.

so could shooting games numb your real senses. almost short of religion and if you shoot people in these games again and again that's fine it's a 2000000 times a year and suppress your emotions to do so and maybe even get a reward stimulus. that can also influence your long term behavior. by prison term. i found the game in the simulator rather boring so i was all the more surprised by the results of the experiment. as a service shooting stimulates the reward system in our brains i can imagine that but the idea that our emotions like empathy are dampened at the same time i find questionable but they. can do our neighbors in switzerland see it the swiss are known to be peace loving folk but at the same time they are not afraid of guns today there are about $32.00 guns both legal and illegal ones per

$100.00 inhabitants in all straight it's 30 whereas in germany it's just 20 so it's a completely different gun culture. you can also see. and she said the city's oldest fire one weekend a year everything here revolves around shooting organizer cloudier get explains it to me. is that he. heard that you can get on a tram in switzerland openly carrying an assault rifle is that really the case and is it legal if it is that is laid out it's legal. and it happens you know it's becoming increasingly rare because most were taken in a car now but in principle an assault rifle cammy taken into a club or experience where you feel it all more guns. about $5000.00 young people between $13.17 compete against each other in the shooting

so let's get started. there you go low the rifle they're. going at this. then slowly or don't fill with the trigger. they're forced to go on a pressure point they're all called. good the target is 300 meters away shooting is down lying down for better control because a stray bullet can fly up to 4 kilometers there's a lot of competition. the shooting king wins $5000.00 francs and up to 5 shots it's all over sadly yes but didn't do well enough this year. one upper left more and. so in the middle would have been 6. when you asked for joins the army in a few years he'll even be allowed to take his rifle home with him is that certain
