Gunmen kills 10 in German school shooting rampage

[philw]

As I mentined before in the Alabama thread. Here in Germany we are in deep sh... now! The media is going totally crazy. They demand that politicians should ban everything from computergames to airsoft guns. It is insane. Just bought 1000 more rounds of 9mm yesterday. Only god knows what the next weeks will bring.  The guy at the firearmsstore was totally upset. In 2002 (when we had the first schoolshooting in Erfurt) people called him and threatened him at the phone.

Did your country learn NOTHING from the debacle of the 1930's?!?

GERMAN Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for tighter gun control in her country after a teenager used his father's pistol to kill 15 people and himself.

"We will probably never be able to prevent (another such massacre), but one of the lessons from this horrible event is to be vigilant," Ms Merkel said today.

"The possession of weapons and munitions is a subject that we must strongly pay attention to – it must be controlled, rules must be applied," she said.

The German leader also evoked the possibility of having "spot checks" of weapons, just days after the bloodbath in the small southwestern town of Winnenden, near Stuttgart.

Last week Tim Kretschmer, 17, dressed in black combat gear and armed with a Beretta gun taken from his father's bedroom, went on a rampage at his former school.

He shot dead eight girls, one boy and three female teachers at the school, killed a passer-by outside a psychiatric clinic where he had been due to receive treatment, hijacked a car and shot two others at a car dealership.

He died in a shootout with police around 30km from the school. Police believe he shot himself.
