Health Minister & ND vice favors “American model of gun possession” (POLL)

Regarding the deadly shootout in Vorizia village last Saturday, Georgiadis said: “I can’t hide it, I’m surprised that there are still areas in Greece that live in the 19th century because these behaviors, the vendettas, he took the house from the bottom and took it to the top in 2025, it seems unthinkable to me that we should be discussing them.”

“I like the idea of ​​self-protection. I like it. I’m not against it. This has been my opinion since I was a little kid. I believe this, but it’s not what’s happening in Crete. In Crete, guns are illegal. This is something different,” he added.

And he continued: “You should know that the issue of gun ownership in the US is a very big issue. In every election, it plays a role and in the end, even the Democratic presidents who were against it when they were in power didn’t dare touch it. In America, they have strict self-protection laws. If someone comes into your house, you can shoot them. This is not the case in Europe… another culture, a different one. “But I generally like people to be brave and to be able to defend their freedom. I like freedom very much and freedom needs to be defended,” he noted.

He apparently doesn’t know the difference between license for “gun possession” and license for “gun use” which in Greece is only for the Armed forces and under certain circumstances.

As if we don’t have an outbreak of violence in Greece in the last two years with guns or punches and knives even among minors… all we now need is “licensed gun possession.”

Main opposition party PASOK urged the Prime Minister: “While the Prime Minister avoids commenting on the shocking event of the vendetta, it is worth the government telling us what its position is on what Mr. Georgiadis is saying.”
