Despite the strength of the country’s gun laws, some Germans say they could be even stronger. A girl is helped by rescue workers out of a police armored vehicle as officers aim their guns during a school shooting in Erfurt, Germany, in 2002.

Tough gun control laws in Germany that were rigorously tightened after two ghastly school shootings in 2002 and 2009 have helped cut the number of firearm killings in half to about 50 a year, according to experts. But I’d like to see Germany completely ban guns or at least make the gun control laws even tougher.”MORE WORLD NEWSIn China, feminism is growing — and so is the backlash
