Massacre at Winnenden: The failure of German gun control

• The failure of police intervention in protecting victims;

• The failure of strict German gun control to stop what is now the third such incident there in recent years; and

• How experts recount the near impossibility of predicting violent behavior.

The next segment will examine why most multiple victim public homicides occur in ostensibly “gun free” zones, and will document cases in which armed intervention by private citizens minimized losses, and demonstrate the positive impact of concealed handgun laws in reducing these crimes.
