The law on tighter gun control that Berlin is preparing stipulates would-be owners undergo a psychological suitability test, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Friday after a deadly shooting at a Jehovah's Witnesses hall in Hamburg.
"The draft law foresees a psychological suitability test," Faeser told reporters after visiting, noting a spate of shootings lately had shown the need for a new law.
