Schools are the same everywhere. They consist of teachers and students.
Germany did not dump traditional monarchy until the end of WW1. Hitler revived a modernized form of the German monarchy he fought for, ... and restored monarchist titles to any "former" aristocrat that joined the National Socialist German workers party.
The fact remains that it is proper to compare gun ownership to murder rates ... in ANY country. Not just your favorite Aryan Nations.
