No different than this soldier, a call to arms is a call to arms.

Bullshit. You need to be a member of a club, take classes, shoot a "Nachweis" and apply for an FID. You can have it in less than 3 months. Another way is to get your hunting license, which entitles you to two handguns and long guns as many as you can afford. You personally couldn't get one most likely because you're not a citizen of a EU country.

Not exactly true.
There are some MA style hoops, but doable.

In the wake of the shooting in Munich that left nine people and the gunman dead, German leaders on Sunday were already preparing talks on stricter gun control.
Both ruling parties, the center-right Christian Democrats (CDU) of Chancellor Angela Merkel and the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), agreed that more stringent laws were necessary to prevent copycat attacks.
Strict gun statutes
Although they are usually kept out of sight, Germans do not necessarily shy away from guns. Indeed, the country has the fourth-highest gun ownership per capita in the world. But weapon ownership is considered a privilege, not a right, and a firearms license is only granted after an individual has met numerous stringent criteria, including expert knowledge (usually gained by attending a months-long course), and necessity - under which rule self-defense is not considered good enough reason.
There are three levels of gun permits in Germany: for competitive shooting, hunting, and for experts and collectors whose purchases must be individually submitted for approval.
Investigators have revealed that the 18-year-old German-Iranian man who committed the attack on a Munich shopping center was known to suffer from depression and said in a YouTube video that he had received in-patient psychiatric treatment. This means he would not have passed the psychological exam and "personal adequacy" provision needed for a gun license.
