Tunisian Mass Murderer Counted On Gun Laws and Culture for Success
The Truth About Guns ^ | 27 June, 2015 | David Codrea

Posted on 06/27/2015 3:35:24 PM PDT by marktwain

Revising earlier reports that two attackers were involved, authorities are now saying only one man was responsible for killing dozens of tourists and wounding dozens more at a Tunisian beach resort. Reportedly armed with a Kalashnikov initially concealed with an umbrella, it took an after-the-fact armed security team response to stop the killer from adding to his unarmed victim count . . .

This is the second attack on tourists in Tunisia this year. In March, an attack at the National Museum killed at least 22 people, all but one of them tourists, showing that those interested in committing politically-motivated murders have discovered a new vulnerability to the Tunisian economy — one that exploits a government-imposed handicap on the populace.

That’s because, per GunPolicy.org, “The regulation of guns in Tunisia is categorized as restrictive.”

While decidedly anti-gun, this project of the Sydney School of Public Health nonetheless, provides a valuable resource of gun laws around the globe. And those in Tunisia read in places like a Bloomberg wish list.

Gun laws only work for those that don’t have them.

Everyone is ignoring the root cause of this tragedy:

Flags.

SOMEWHERE there is a flag that we ALL know did this.

WHEN are people going to wake up..?!?!

Who knows, maybe the gunman was angry with the Supreme Court for their decisions. 😱

Beautiful beaches, landscape - a bit like the French Riviera and Costa Brava on the other side of the Med used to be before they were spoiled by overdevelopment. Mostly hospitable people too.

I agree; I avoid areas with a lot of Muslims here in NJ - I certainly wouldn’t go to one of their countries. How many attacks like this does it take to convince non-Muslims that they are being targeted in Muslim countries?
