Also, finding contacts within the criminal establishment isn't very hard - certainly not as you're implying. Hence, the world's rampant drug trade. Oh, and black market arms trade.
In any case, this kid was determined enough to shoot up a school. To think that said determination doesn't cross itself over to gaining the means by which to do so is delusional.

Well, so far only kids who had access to weapons started shootings. No one possesed an ilegal weapon. Given the rather small number of gun owners in Germany it is odd that ALL amok kids came out of gun owner families.
There hasn't been a single case of a non gun owner kid to do such a massacre.
So you see, obviously they don't try to get ileagal weapons or build IEDs.
I think one thing that is important is that those kids can get their hands on guns easily.
I believe that the knowledge of having power (a gun) available makes people to think about using them.
But changing gunlaws over here is something different than changing gun laws in the US. If anyone has a gun then I surely have one too just to be "safe". Here in Germany it is quite unusual that a burglar is armed with a firearm. Therefore no need to have one yourself.
I think it is also quite futile to try to order anything like gun restriction in a country that is already full of weapons.
