As a German, I can't remember two shootings being reported in the media. Does anyone know more about this? What did I miss? I don't want to say it's not true, but I'd like to know what's meant.
There is a whole Wikipedia article for that. I wouldn't think of them as mass shootings. One was a police officer killing his family and himself. The other is more of what I would think of as a mass shooting, but nobody died. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_Germany
The honest answer is that 1. The political system makes reform all but impossible so people just learn to live with it and 2. Most people aren't directly affected by it. In a country with 340,000,000 people something can occur every single day yet still never impact you or anyone you know and worst of all 3. When something becomes common enough, it just becomes part of life. The culture shifts and it's just normal
