My theory is because the terrorists were scofflaws, and lacked respect for the law, but of course that is just one of those wild guesses, based on the little knowledge that I have of them so far.
DEAN: And I think you got to deal with these people. The interesting thing here, is we talked about guns the last time in regarding the United States, regarding how guns get in the hands of the kind of people that kill the two police officers here two weeks ago. France has tremendous gun control laws, and yet these people are able to get Kalashnikovs. So, this is really complicated stuff, and I think you have to treat these people as basically mass murderers. But I do not think we should accord them any particular religious respect, because I don't think, whatever they're claiming their motivation is, is clearly a twisted, cultish mind.http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2015/01/07/howard-dean-dont-call-paris-shooters-muslim-terrorists
But, but, but...
France has LAWS against murder! Why didn’t that stop the Charlie Hebdo massacre?!
As posted earlier, Israel has tough gun laws, but only because there is a draft and a giant reserve component, basically all Jewish adults have a rifle.
If this was pulled off in Tel Aviv, the shooters would have been Swiss cheese, not photographed shooting cops.
WashPost Asks, With Straight Face: Why Didn’t Strict Gun Laws Stop Charlie Hebdo Massacre?

Indeed? Did the French Police not blow their whistles loud enough? How could this tragedy have occured?
I’m reminded of the beaten and battered ex-wife who gets a restraining order against her abusive ex husband. And as he returns to beat and choke her to death - she keeps waiving that restraining order in his face.
I guess when you are a true believer, like the WaPo, then you cannot comprehend the reality that people, especially criminals, do not care about laws. That’s why they are criminals......................
For the same reason Marijuana Laws never stopped WashPost reporters from smoking Marijuana
“WashPost Asks, With Straight Face: Why Didn’t Strict Gun Laws Stop Charlie Hebdo Massacre?”
Let’s see, an unarmed policeman begging for his life from an armed lunatic raghead.
Yeah, it’s a real conundrum.
Because criminals break laws?
It contributed to the massacre.
it’s worth noting that the evidence from the United States is far from clear, especially in shootings involving automatic weapons.
Gee. it’s been a while, can anyone remember when that
happened?? Anyone? Bueller?
You know they also had a rocket launcher according to reports. Does France prohibit people from owning rocket launchers? If so, why did they have one? I mean they’re outlawed, right?
Let’s see, the Muzzies had AK-47’s. The French police were unarmed, as well as everyone else. Why can’t WaPo grasp the simple principle of lambs to the slaughter?

Duh — strict gun laws transfers the affected area into a soft target e.g. schools, hospitals, assisted living facilities, voting places, etc.
Areas with strict gun laws are a terrorist’s paradise.
He asks the question because liberals really are stupid enough to believe that laws prevent crime.
So stupid, he probably has someone count cadence so he’ll remember to breath...
Also Eugene Robinson told Andrea Mitchell today that it was fortunate this did not happen here where guns are so accessible that the carnage wrought by the terrorists would have been so much worse. Of course he seemed not to know that these jihadis were armed not just with AK47s, but the fully automatic variety which is outlawed in the US without a special federal license. And these guys hijacked a vehicle threatening the driver with an RPG. Boy lucky it didn’t happen here, Eugene.
Get back to us when you figure it out, Wa Poo.
The sad irony is, if the Washington Comm. Post article or Howard Dean’s moment of confusion had been published in Charlie Hebdo they would have been considered great satire.
“ Such an alternative reality scenario is hard to guess at, though it’s worth noting that the evidence from the United States is far from clear, especially in shootings involving automatic weapons.”
When was the last time we had a shooting with an automatic weapon?
