Germany proposes stricter gun laws in wake of Munich shooting

German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel told the Funke Mediengruppe newspaper chain that the country "must continue to do all we can to limit and strictly control access to deadly weapons" while Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper in a separate interview that "we have to evaluate very carefully if and where further legal changes are needed."

Ali David Sonboly, 18, the dual German-Iranian national behind Friday's attack outside a shopping mall in which nine people died, obtained his Glock firearm illegally and he did not have a license, investigators said Saturday. But he would have struggled to meet Germany's stringent requirements for legal possession even if he did.

Sounds like a job for margabby kelleygiffords and general betray us. Go ahead and fly to Germany to promote common sense gun 'safety' initiatives. Oh, and stay there. And take mac-crystal with you.

Yes, Germany needs to punish legal gun owners even more because the current laws were broken.

What sort of logic is that?

Too late for that. As a result they need more guns, not less.

Lefty logic.

Pure insanity.

Germans are already largely disarmed. The Glock used was 100% illegal in Germany.

So, it illustrates that there will never — NEVER — be an end to calls for gun control.

If EVERY SINGLE FIREARM, EVERY SINGLE BULLET, EVERY SINGLE ACCESSORY, EVERY SINGLE GUNPOWDER-ORIENTED CHEMICAL is strictly banned by the left and the Globalists/Elitists.... when yet another gun crime is committed, they will call for more gun control.

It’s absurd and utterly insane.

It's the OBAMA CODE

It's like the Bizarro Code but even more illogical.

With, no doubt, a rider authorizing a trebling of the number of refujihadists to be admitted to the Fatherland.

After all, rapefugees need Lebensraum, too!

Better in Germany than the US. I think they SHOULD ban and confiscate all (formerly) legal firearms from all Gerrmans who (formerly) obtained them legally, just so we in America can see what happens before they try it here. And hurry up!

Straight from the “Ministry of Handwringing”.

Anything to ignore the elephant in the room.

Restrict citizens rights further, while bringing in more and more Muslims.

You couldn't create a better example of Anarcho-tyranny if you tried.
