Summary
The German system of gun control is among the most stringent in Europe. It restricts the acquisition, possession, and carrying of firearms to those with a creditable need for a weapon. It bans fully automatic weapons and severely restricts the acquisition of other types of weapons. Compulsory liability insurance is required for anyone who is licensed to carry firearms.
In recent years, German gun-control law underwent several reforms that made it even more stringent. A new Weapons Act became effective in 2003 after a school shooting in the city of Erfurt in which a student killed sixteen persons. The new Act restricted the use of large caliber weapons by young people and strengthened requirements for the safe storage of firearms.
Another reform was enacted in 2009 in response to the massacre at Winnenden, in which an eighteen-year-old killed fifteen people in the course of a school shooting. This latest reform led to the creation of a federal gun register and to intense governmental monitoring of gun owners’ compliance with requirements for the safe storage of firearms. Pursuant to the reformed legislation, the authorities may at any time request access to the premises of any registered gun owner to monitor whether proper safe-storage procedures are being observed.

Germany barely has shootings due to their strict gun laws. We have mass shootings every week and thousands of Americans killed by guns every year. Can you figure out which is better?
perhaps this is proof their rules should be stricter. That is exactly what government spokespeople said.

Why have a war on guns then?
I've noticed that the left and the right seem to be very selective in how they decide what requires more statism or what requires less.
It's more consistent to either push for more state involvement across the board, or to recognize that people will do drugs regardless of the laws and that shootings will happen regardless of laws as well.
