SUMMARY

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has asked his cabinet to review gun regulations after the November 7 Kraków shooting that left nine people dead. He ordered a “responsible and methodical” analysis of permit rules and the operation of shooting ranges.

Deputy defence minister Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka urged limits on how many and what types of weapons civilians may own. Deputy interior minister Czes?aw Mroczek said his ministry will re-examine permit and registration procedures after consulting police and security services.

Prosecutors found shooter Michal Oksinski legally possessed 11 guns and about 500 rounds. President Karol Nawrocki supports “responsible access to weapons.”
