Plans by German politicians to strengthen gun laws in the wake of the massacre in Winnenden that left 16 dead don't go far enough, according to a new action group founded by families of the victims. The government's proposed legislative changes are mostly “cosmetic,” said Hardy Schober, chair of the Winnenden Massacre Group.

In response, the group has started a signature campaign with their own ideas for a legislative response to the attacks. They'd like a ban on large caliber weapons and say there's no reason to store handguns in private households. Those, they say, should be kept at registered gun clubs.
