Anti-gun zealots exploit German school shooting. (Correction, Please!).(Brief Article)
ITEM: A 19-year-old shot and killed 16 people in a high school in Erfurt, Germany, then killed himself Whereupon "Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's Greens coalition partner Cem Oezdemir," reported Deutsche Presse-Agentur on April 29th, was among those officials who "said the massacre showed tougher gun laws were urgently needed."
CORRECTION: Even though anti-gun groups blamed "the flood of illegal weapons" for this shooting, it turns out that the guns carried by the teenager -- a pistol and an (unused) shotgun -- were in fact legally obtained and the man who used them was duly licensed. This is no small matter in Germany. As explained by John R. Lott Jr., author of More Guns, Less Crime: "Germans who wish to get hold of a hunting rifle must undergo checks that 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."
