That last bit 'According to the BBC' . That's the bit that that always raises scepticism deep within moi
One day people would have the brains to stop listening to the BBC. Clearly whatever crap they feed people today is not reason enough to stop watching. Or maybe they've dumbed down their viewers enough that they can't figure it out.

Is there much Gun Crime in Germany ??
That depends on your definition of "much". In 2018, there were a total of 3,819 registered "mere" threats with guns, an additional 4,524 registered illegal shots (this includes destruction of objects and stuff). 109 of the registered shots were crimes against life. Of those, 45 were murder crime (24 of which were survived), 57 Totschlag (which is basically German judicial speak for trying to kill someone without having planned it beforehand - 41 of the 57 attempts were survived), and 5 on demand killings were registered with guns.

So if you were asking for (completed) gun killings - 42 in 2018. There are, however, quite a few guns in German households. Not super easy to get, but you can get them if you want. There's also, especially in Southern Germany, a bit of a gun club (Schützenverein) tradition. Basically, clubs that are dedicated to training with guns, knowing your way around guns, that sorta stuff. It's usually a very responsible thing. It's not gun crazy maniacs in these clubs. Sadly, from time to time, these people do however end up using their training with guns, and their access to guns, to murder other people. Like happened today when Adrian S. decided to murder six of his relatives in his father's restaurant.

exactly - no respect at all for the victims in our own country but outpourings of grief for somewhere else that has nothing to do with us
Nobody, me included, is asking everyone to portray "outpourings of grief". If you don't care at all, that is absolutely perfectly fine with me. I merely think polluting it with ridicule is uncalled for. There's thousands of other threads on this forum where we have the chance to display our immature personalities.
