During the summer, popular shooting festivals - where people drink beer, enjoy the sun and shoot at targets - take place in towns and villages across Germany. According to the Interior Ministry, there are 10 million registered weapons in Germany and - more worryingly - up to 20 million illegal weapons. Germany tightened its gun-control laws in 2002, after a school shooting in the central town of Erfurt left 18 dead.
