Germany 'urgently needs tighter gun control laws in wake of Munich mass shooting'
Sunday Express ^ | Jul 24, 2016 | FRASER MOORE

Crazed Ali David Sonboly, 18, gunned down nine helpless victims during a rampage outside a McDonalds restaurant and then busy shopping centre in Munich.

And now Sigmar Gabriel, head of the Social Democrats, has demanded that more must be done to limit access to deadly weapons, saying gun control is an “important issue”.

He added: “We must continue to do all we can to limit and strictly control access to deadly weapons.”

The comments come as questions were raised as to how Sonboly, who was reportedly obsessed with mass killings, gained access to the 9mm Glock pistol used in the massacre.

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said German gun laws are already strict, but added he planned to review rules where necessary.

He said: “We have to evaluate very carefully if and where further legal changes are needed.”

Police raided the home of warped Sonboly on Friday where they discovered books on spree shootings, including one called 'Why Children Kill'.

They need muslim bans not gun bans.

They need muslim roundup and removal, bot,gun roundp and removal.

They need to never let muslims back in, not never let guns back in.

I’ve followed the Munich story since the first minute of reporting (I live in Germany).

Cops can only say that the kid illegally acquired this Glock and every single gun law that they had in place worked like it should. Other than making another law that says you can’t buy illegal guns, there’s just not anything worth discussing.

The kid had a combination of factors (Muslim background, loser mentality, dumped on in school, no apparent future). If the German government wanted to do something positive....it’d do better to examine those factors rather than the more gun laws discussion.

One of the hypes in Sunday’s German news is that the political folks wanted the public to know that owning a gun is not a right in Germany....like in the US. But for a fair number in society, it’ll just draw the obvious question...if Germany took the move not to allow it to be a right....maybe not allowing religion to be a right would also make sense.

Oh, and I should note that one of the oddball things that was noted on the Munich shooter’s WhatsApp profile picture...was a image of the Norwegian mass killer....Anders Behring Breivik. This will disturb a lot of Germans that the kids respected and admired Breivik. This was talked about a couple of years ago in that Breivik end up as some social hero within society. Well....it’s happened.

They don’t need gun control , they need muslim control.

Yeah, that’ll work.

I live in NYC (Staten Island), where we have some of the most strict gun laws.

I could leave the screen for 15 minutes and be back with a gun I bought in the projects without a problem.

It’s no secret they’re sold there and who sells them.

The only way to get rid of all guns is martial law, which is what they want.

Germans are disarmed.

Islamic terrorists can get all the guns they need.

That’s the logic of gun control - the bad guys win.

Quite the contrary. Law abiding German citizens should have the right to defend themselves with firearms like a free people, not be preyed on by an imported criminal/homicidal element.

A state where only the police have guns is a police state.

“We have to evaluate very carefully"

I'll save you some time, Herr Meziere. Your problem is Moslems and their leftist-globalist bedfellows (like yourself), not firearms. Enjoy the delusion you share with your fellow traveling statists that YOUR heads will be last on the Islamic chopping block. Reality: they'll be the very first.

Maybe he got the gun from Barack Obama.

Sounds facetious, but the killers in Paris actually did get at least one firearm that was traced to Fast & Furious.

Last Prime Minister of the DDR knows something about totalitarianism.

Confiscation - that’s the ticket to public safety!

"This will disturb a lot of Germans that the kids respected and admired Breivik."

What's strange is that Breivik, like Timothy McVeigh are/were atheists.

Breivik even made a Nazi salute at his sentencing.

As we all know there is nothing "Christian" about the Nazis.

They were socialist/paganists, as their platform and actions showed.

And pardon my French, but because Europeans are such pu$$ies, they threw the very worst punishment at him, 22 years in prison.

IIRC, he even won some legal battle for a tidy sum, because his prison just wasn't "comfortable" enough according to the Norwegians.

Something about library access or some other rot.

Europe needs to wake up NOW, and fast.

That's assuming that they really believe banning guns will stop the mass shootings. they don't. They want to ban guns to stop the average citizen from fighting back when the government starts really pushing the tyranny on them.
