Stating FACTS - Cultural and Forum 'Politics' - or POLICIES!

I am glad the thread got reopened. Sometimes you just can't separate life and politics, one affects the other. However, to condemn a whole class of historic objects is beyond ridiculous.

After all, what is a gun? Just a pipe with a touch hole. A 2nd grader can make one in about 5 minutes, as long as a plumbing supply is nearby. Same with powder - charcoal can be easily made. Saltpeter, too - some manure and urine mixed together, a bit of time and voila! Do these politicians think they can really stop this? The genie is out of the bottle.

But Michael's collection is not mere killing instruments - they are feats of human civilization. They don't just belong to him - they belong to humanity. And trying to outlaw or banish them will only lead to barbarity as people will stop admiring and learning from history. And then they will turn to making killing machines out of plumbing pipe.

Hello, Michael! My Dear Friend. The situation which You described is absolutely awful. My wife and I were shocked by what we have learned about your situation. We are fully on your side. I think that the topic should be on the page

My dear friends,

I am deeply moved by the great solidarity, courage and strength you have shown supporting me both privately and publically!

Not only have your posts, emails and phone calls proven me right - I also consider them to be the finest reward ever for what I have been trying to do here since 2008.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
You definitely make my work worthwhile.

I am extremely happy to say that some influential museum curators and experts are on my side as well, backing up my struggle against the authorities by assessments on the unparalleled importance of The Michael Trömner Collection!

and best as ever,
