German officials urge tightening of already strict gun laws

USA Today reports:

Two days after the mass shooting by a violence-obsessed teen here, German politicians on Sunday urged tighter gun restrictions in a country that already has some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the world.

Germany has one of the lowest rates of gun-related deaths, despite high levels of gun ownership. Even so, Friday's shooting spree that left nine dead and dozens wounded prompted German lawmakers to say more needs to be done to prevent another massacre using firearms.

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."

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper, "We have to evaluate very carefully if and where further legal changes are needed."
