Kaz, when I first posted the news, only three people had died - when I posted the next article, there were 18

I PMed you on Pandemonium, by the way.

NO, you can privately own guns, I do....just certain types of guns are banned for private ownership. But there are grey areas to this as well, I own an SKS semi-automatic for ranch use, and those are banned now, but if you already owned one before the ban, you can keep it, just not sell it....and ammo is HARD to find.

In Germany things are a bit different. Noone may own firearms without permission. But it's always the same...you want a weapon? There are several ways to get some...it sickens me.

The bad thing about banning guns, is it really makes it EASIER for criminals and the like to get them on the black market, but hurts people like me who try to buy them. We have a waiting period on buying guns, which I TOTALLY agree with. But just outlawing or banning guns is not hurting the criminals a bit.....

FYI..German Schools still have prayer and religous classes in them so your argument doesn't hold much water in this case.

A bad sick evil apple can be from any religon. And thats the gospel according to Wurm.

I have friends from that city I hope their kids are OK.

I hate to see stuff like this happen. Some people are so crazy in this world.

There's nothing that can be done. It's just terrible that mankind has come this far. Are there people who just don't want to live in peace? It's unimaginable for me.

On another note, I was not very pleased when I heard that someone in the German news media had said this sort of thing is expected to happen in America not in Germany. That kind of thing is just too sad and insensitive.
