National German Gun Registry

From the Deutsche Welle online, under their "Security":

Quote:
The German interior minister has said a countrywide database of all legal gun owners is set for launch on January 1. Hans-Peter Friedrich predicted a "considerable increase in security" as a result.

The German government plans to launch its complete registry of legal gun owners at the beginning of next year, two years ahead of a deadline set by the EU.

As with many German authorities, those responsible for weapons licensing and tracking operated on a local basis - with a total of 551 authorities around the country. Under new EU laws, all member countries are obliged to compile a centralized register.
How's that Euro model lookin' now? This is unprecedented but should make the database folks at UNODC happy. They have a notable series of hoops (last I was aware of) just to own a firearm with renewable licenses, per firearm, etc.
