After accepting more than a million migrants over the past two years, German society has changed drastically. And that's not just because the ethnic and cultural makeup of the country is changing. The political opinions of native Germans is shifting in response to the migrant crisis.

After hearing countless reports of sexual assaults and terrorist attacks committed by migrants, Germans no longer feel safe in their own country. They're increasingly turning to right-wing populist groups like the AfD party, who in turn are presenting ideas that were once unheard of in Germany. One of the most radical ideas (or at least, radical by German standards) to come out of the AfD, is support for arming the German populace for protection against the migrants.

Earlier this week, the head of the AfD said expressed that sentiment. During an interview, Frauke Petry said something that you would normally expect to hear from pro-Second Amendment activists in the United States.

After two Islamist attacks and a shooting rampage by a mentally unstable teenager last month, Germans are on edge and the AfD is expected to make a strong showing in votes next month in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

"Many people are increasingly feeling unsafe. Every law-abiding citizen should be in a position to defend themselves, their family and their friends,"Frauke Petry told the Funke Media Group in an interview published on Saturday.

"We all know how long it takes until the police can get to the scene, especially in sparsely populated places," she said.

As is the case with most European countries, gun laws in Germany have become increasingly strict over the years. For the first time however, there is a political movement that is rejecting those laws, and is standing against the anti-gun crusaders in that country. Petry has rejected calls to create more gun control laws in Germany, and again, she has done so in a way that echoes the sentiments of Second Amendment activists in America.
