Police chiefs want changes to Dutch weapons laws in the wake of the shopping centre shooting in Alphen aan den Rijn earlier this month.

‘We need to find a good balance between the rights of people to shoot as a hobby and public safety,’ Zeeland police chief Letty Demmers told television show Nieuwsuur.
In particular, they say the age for membership of a gun club should go up from 12 to 18 and that members should be banned from taking ammunition home.
The young man who shot six people dead and then turned a gun on himself was a gun club member and had a licence for five weapons, despite having a history of mental illness.
