The changes Germany made heavily made me think of the "well armed and regulated militia" mentioned in the US' 2nd amendment.

One cannot say something is regulated without admitting fault and adjusting when needed until the issue appears less and less.

I happen to think that Germany has about the right balance of encouraging hunting that's beneficial to the environment and allowing traditional gunsmithing, while prioritizing the right of the vast majority of Germans who have no desire to be involved with firearms to live in peace.
But the right to keep and bear arms applies to the people rather than the "regulated" militia.
