After the murderous Spree in Graz we asked the parties of the town hall how they are on the Wapenwet and a possible tightening. Because in Viennese apartments and houses (legally) there are more than 140,000 firearms.
If a 21-year-old, mentally unstable weapon can become like other apples in the supermarket, some flagrant laws cannot be correct. After Graz’s murder, almost all Viennese parties think about changing the current weapon instructions. Like I said, almost everyone.
Spö for tightening – not every party sees it
The mayor of Vienna has very clear access to the subject. “The incredible act of violence has separated us all deeply,” said Michael Ludwig (Spö). “More weapons no longer mean safety, but more uncertainty. Since 2019 I have repeatedly pronounced a general ban on weapons in public spaces and public transport and argue for sharpening the arms law.” And further: “With regard to the ban on weapons, there is currently only the possibility to impose such a prohibition on certain locations. In Vienna there is currently on the pratern. A federal legislation would be useful and also necessary.”
