Oh, well, in Germany, this is public oppinion. For a long time I was against

don't know of a politician openly advocating liberal gun laws.

Thanks, that's just what I needed. I wonder if it would be possible to
organize such a lobby in Germany.

It seems so. But do you know how you can tell that a politician is lying? He
opens his mouth ...
At least that's the case here in Germany.
