well, the first question really has to do with relative frequency of this sort of incident. consider how often this sort of thing has happened in the united states as over against its frequency in germany. for example, there was a rampage in alabama yesterday on the same scale that seems somehow to have been occluded this morning behind the german situation--which in part is explicable by the relative novelty of the german case.
i'll do a bit of digging around and post something more to the point regarding gun controls in france later, unless someone else with either more intimate knowledge or more time to research gets to it first.
