Guy is posting about this shooting in a theater in Germany and is all "hahaha" because Germany has such strict laws and enforces keeping guns in a safe with random inspections and all that, and the shooter got an assault rifle anyway. Proves gun laws don't work.

Or maybe they do. Turns out no one was shot other than the shooter because his "assault rifle" was actually an air gun. The only injuries to the public were from the tear gas fired by police.

I still think the laws are weak, but you are also correct in your further assessment. HuckleB Jun 2016 #10
