If (when?) Islamic terrorists try that in many parts of the United States, at least a few decent people will be armed. Not the cartoonists, of course, but a secretary, a maintenance worker, or an accountant will have a CCW permit, and we’ll find out how an AK and body armor do against a handgun and surprise. Five minutes is a long time, and it’s a lot longer if the terrorists do not have the French guarantee that they are safe in a “gun free zone”.
There is no lawful solution to this problem once this murderous cult take hold here as it has in Europe. Only random sniping and burning down their mosques will have any effect and I am not sure who will take on that task.
“we’ll find out how an AK and body armor do against a handgun and surprise.”
A terrorism expert wrote recently that a handgun will buy you about 5 minutes of time in a typical terrorist attack. That five minutes may be enough time for the calvary to arrive.
