Germany -- Far Right Extremist Kills 10 and Self
It was a sad day in Germany yesterday.
A 43-year-old racist anti-immigrant dipshit killed 9 people at two hookah bars. The shooter was soon found dead in his apartment, next to the body of his 72-year-old mother.
The mass shooter had left a note and video claiming credit and had made posts online expressing his extremist views.
In response to the surge in far-right extremism in Germany, the country's parliament approved new gun laws last month, further tightening regulations on firearms that are already among the world's most stringent.
After the bill was approved, federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said the government's goal was to make sure there were "no weapons in the hands of extremists" and Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht said, "I do not want to wait until arms get into the hands of right-wing extremists."
