Despite France's draconian gun laws, terrorists have once again proven that only good people obey bad laws, and they do so to their own detriment.
It is important to realize that the best security practices, people, and technology governments have to offer could not thwart the ISIS attacks in Paris. Nor will these practices, institutions, and technologies thwart the next attack.
[..]
Thankfully, the reality of these attacks is that they can be deterred, disrupted, and even defeated by properly trained and well-armed civilian populous. A handful of properly trained civilians carrying concealed weapons in the Bataclan Theatre could have dramatically reduced the body count, disrupted the terrorist's plan, and purchased time for others to escape. Terrorists will not select as their primary targets businesses, churches, schools, and communities that can defend themselves from their attacks.
In other words, we need a decentralized (individual action) approach to security in order to meet the decentralized Islamic terrorist threat. Despite what many would have you believe, providing capable security isn't rocket science, and that's the good news.
Unfortunately, rather than seeking alternative and empowering solution that can work better than failed models, the natural reaction for some when confronted with terrorist threats is to call for more centralized security measures. This includes people clamoring for a declaring state of emergency, martial law, more surveillance, closing borders, and confiscating weapons from law-abiding citizens.
[..]
There are many U.S. and European citizens who believe placing "gun free zone" signs on businesses, churches, and schools will make them safer. As experience has demonstrated, this is a preposterous notion. As we have seen, terrorists and other sociopaths do not obey signs, and those putting up such imbecilic signs only identify themselves as soft-targets, thereby inviting an attack, not preventing one.

It almost seems like Obama would like this to happen so he can take advantage of another "Serious Crisis".
We need guns so we can kill terrorists.
You close the borders, you stop and resolve the problem at the source. Why is this so difficult for elites to understand? STOP letting these savages into your country, and none of the other solutions would be needed.
But won’t that make them mad?
Especially if you have some lard in your hollow points?
You mean just keep them out?
You know, a crazy idea like that JUST MIGHT WORK...
Yes, and if they survive, they’re getting mauled by dogs.
I don’t know, but who the hell is supposed to actually buy it, over 100 people in the body count of some guys with guns. We should all be helpless against crime which will happen anyways since government officials and police have their own crooked side and like drugs, they will pretty much Black Market guns, which will, in turn, be helped by the fact that we have the corrupt individuals and cops as it stands. No way.
Obama wants you to die like a Frenchman
To all reading this: Armed America Radio is a good show to listen to. The hosts catch phrase is “Never leave your cave without your club”.
They are all on the same side of stupidity. I listened to Rush briefly at lunch and the View (cannot understand normal thinking) are saying Christianity is as violent as Muzzies. We are dealing with Stupid people that do not deserve to live.
Sorry man I am so sick of all this craziness. Thank God I can protect myself and my hubbie can too.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Good point - the TV show ‘Stop the Threat’ is also very informative.
or as General Sherman would say, "make them good terrorists. Dead terrorists"
No, the Intel and technology are there, the will to use them, not so much.
We also need to kick out the ones here already that have visas or overstayed their visas. Any Muslim who is not a citizen needs to go.
Way too much craziness!
We should all be prepared to defend ourselves.
To paraphrase a well known self-defense instructor, Massad Ayoob, not many people would shoot deer if they could shoot back.
While he hides behind a wall of guns.....
Yes, indeed as long as the terrorists use the same hand gun techniques. However beware of some prior gas attack, fire, or anything to attack a perceived weakness.
I am the peanut gallery. Took the NRA safety course twice and would love to do it again. Really enjoyed it. Called shells casings cartridges awhile ago too.....forgive me?
LOL
