From a previous post, Fred gives me a link to his website regarding the German gun laws
A firearms ownership license (Waffenbesitzkarte) must be obtained before a weapon can be purchased. Owners of multiple firearms need separate ownership licenses for every single firearm they own. It entitles owners to purchase firearms and handle them on their own property and any private property with property owner consent. On public premises, a licensed firearm must be transported unloaded and in a stable, fully enclosing, locked container. A weapons ownership license does not entitle the owner to shoot the weapon or carry it on public premises without the prescribed container. Firearms ownership licenses are valid three years or less, and owners must obtain mandatory insurance and a means to securely store the weapon on their premises (a weapons locker.) Blanket ownership licenses are sometimes issued to arms dealers. A number of criteria must be met before a firearms ownership license is issued: age of consent (18 years for rimfire arms/21 years higher calibers) (§ 4 WaffG) trustworthiness (§ 5 WaffG) personal adequacy (§ 6 WaffG) expert knowledge (§ 7 WaffG) and necessity (§ 8 WaffG) (Necessity is automatically assumed present for licensed hunters and owners of a carry permits (Waffenschein)).

And yet they still had a mass murder.
It's almost like gun laws don't actually stop criminals or crazy people.
