Apparently a student (or former student) went nuts with a gun. Didn't that guy know that Germany has a very stringant gun control policy? Darned criminals just have no respect for gun control laws. When will they ever learn?

Hblair, you dufus, don't you know that proper etiquette requires you to let the bodies cool before warping an event to suit a political agenda?

Germans need more gun control laws!

GUN CONTROL LAWS SAVE LIVES of criminals. If owning a fully automatic M60 light machine is wrong, I dont want to be right!

18 people died in the shooting: 14 teachers, one police-man, two school-kids and the mad one who killed himself when he was surrounded by the police.

Special tragic side-story within all this tragedy:
One of the 2 children of the dead police-man has today birthday.

I agree that Germany need more gun control laws. It has become easy to get weapons in the last years - especially from the eastern neighbors of Germany - so I would appreciate new laws to punish the illegal possession of weapons.

Otherwise we will get here the same chaos as in countries where people could by weapons like candies in shops.

You mean Germany does not already have laws punishing illegal posession of weapons? That there are laws defining what is and what is not a legal posession but making no difference in the end?

Otherwise we will get here the same chaos as in countries where people could by weapons like candies in shops.
You want to bet that that guy did not buy his gun in the store? Germany cannot stop containerfulls of drugs coming over its borders every day, how would it stop smuggling in the weapons?

Those teachers being methodically slaughtered could have used a legally purchased gun - for protection of themselves and children in their care.
I bet something like this would not have happened in an israeli school. There are always armed people around the children there making sure nothing happens to them.

You're prolly right gordo. I just heard there was a shooting OTW to work this morning. Didn't realize it was a massacre. I feel bad for the families and friends.

on a side note
after reading this:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=578&e=1&cid=578&u=/nm/20020426/ts_nm/crime_germany_shooting_dc_18
It seems that there are students 10 to 19 in the same school?
Is that correct? Is that normal for schools in Germany? Europe?
Just wondering as that age spread doesn't seem healthy ..

German gun lover demonstrates once again...

Chant would be premature as we do not know where the nutbag got the gun...

"Germany already has strict laws governing the right to own a gun but experts say the country is awash with illegal weapons smuggled into the country from eastern Europe and the Balkans.

Those wishing to get hold of a hunting rifle must undergo checks which can last a year, while those wanting a gun for sport must be a member of a club and obtain a license from the police. "

Yea, more laws would make a big difference
