>Masking on a demonstration has recently been turned from an Ordnungswidrigkeit ("contravention" according to Wikipedia) to a felony in multiple states. I'm pretty sure you are wrong. §17a VersG has been in place since 1985. The maximum sentence is 1 year thus it is a misdemeanour, not a felony. > Oh, and it's illegal to bring any kind of arms to demonstrations Doesn't seem unreasonable considering how violent they can sometimes get. >Sometimes I feel that our governments have intentionally disarmed us Ignoring the fact that the law is 30 years old: Disarming by not allowing to hide your face?

I'm referring especially to this change in Bavaria: http://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/versammlungsrecht-vermummung-wird-straftat-in-bayern-1.2734192 http://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/versammlungsrecht-vermummu... > Doesn't seem unreasonable considering how violent they can sometimes get. So why are fascists allowed basically everything, the cops beat peaceful hippies up and meanwhile the ordinary left-wing activist mustn't even wear tooth protection (classified as "Schutzbewaffnung")? Seeing that multiple people got teeth knocked out during clashes with the police at the recent "Merkel muss weg" fascist march, it's ridiculous that the citizens are commanded to be defensiveless sheeps while the cops abuse them as training ground. > Ignoring the fact that the law is 30 years old: Disarming by not allowing to hide your face? They disarmed the citizens in multiple ways. When combining all that happened (beginning with the Radikalenerlass decades ago), there forms a clear picture: the government has a deep-rooted fear of left-wing people, while secretly funding/supporting right-wing terrorists that have killed over 200 people in the last decades.
