BERLIN/FRANKFURT, July 23 (Reuters) - An 18-year-old German-Iranian believed to have acted alone killed nine people in a shooting spree with a pistol at a busy shopping center in Munich on Friday evening.

Here are some facts about acquiring and owning a gun in Germany.

1. Germany has some of the "most stringent" rules around gun control in Europe, according to the U.S. Library of Congress.

2. To own a gun in Germany, it is necessary to obtain a weapon license for which applicants must generally be at least 18 years old and show they have they have a reason for needing a weapon.

3. German authorities can prohibit anyone who is dependent on drugs or alcohol or is mentally ill from obtaining a gun license. People under 25 have to undergo a psychiatric test.

Obviously the guy had a license. How else could he have gotten a gun?

My wife’s father was a German judge who sent a lot of Baader Meinhof Groupies to prison. He, and his entire family, constantly received death threats, but he was never able to get a permit to carry a firearm. Basically, the ‘facts’ you found are complete BS.

German laws are being used to suppress the German people and hasten their extinction. If they wish to survive, I think they have to cast the laws aside aside and act in defense of the German nation and people. The governmental power structure has chosen Muslims over Germans, so Germans must either overthrow it or accept their inevitable extinction as a people. Grim times ahead.

Bad guys who want a gun have no difficulty getting one.

Gun control laws simply disarm victims.

They become shooting ducks for the bad guys.
