How simple the lesson? Remove the fear of guns from the equation, and it reduces the chance, to zero, of anyone getting shot. Moreover, it potentially clears the social stage for, one would hope, intelligent conversation, not to mention making life safer for everyone involved.
In case you did not know, Paris municipal police do not carry guns.
I understand that American cities, Atlanta and Charlotte come to mind, cannot metamorphose into Paris. And I admit I have guns I use to hunt.
But considering the everyday terror and death faced by too many civilians in our own communities, I envy France’s peaceful ways.

....Unless they're black, in which case you must never correct their behavior.
This tripe is a leftist's mutual masturbation, nothing more

How is this lesson more complex than this idiot surmises? Knives. Anyone could be packing a blade which would change the equation quite a lot.
The charming diversity this guy immersed his daughter in just murdered 12 people including two unarmed policemen. So cute that he got to fly his family to France at 2,000 per ticket, stay in hotels at 150/night, to show them how stupid Americans are. Yet here we are, something that cannot happen in America just happened. How charming.
Proving the old adage, “An armed society s a polite society.”
Those Frenchmen and their impotent police were sitting ducks today.
What's interesting here, is the complete ignorance of the very small minority, but hyper violent (and relatively well trained, organized and focused), that is evidently in the midst of Europe in the form of Muslims. Until you arm citizens (and street cops) in France and elsewhere, the country is a giant gun free zone for the terrorists to play in.
I'm sure everyone who saw this story in the US had the same sequence of questions - 1. What are the gun laws in France, and 2. What would I do in that situation? The answers seem to be "effective citizen disarmament" and "throw a chair or a pencil cup" - cause that's all you got.
They always have to throw in “I used to hunt” or “my grandpa was in World War II” or “I get my meat from the store where no animals are hurt in the process” or some such gibberish.
This school board guy could move to Paris that way he would feel safer. I have never seenthe senario he speaks of. We don’t raise .our voices in the supermarket because it is rude and obnoxious
first off, I bet the “racial incident” was made up. Or the kid had been suspected of being a thief, he left to get his parents instead of showing his money ... probably had none
That worked out real well for them today.
Right. And when guns are outlawed, who has them?
In case you did not know, Paris municipal police do not carry guns.
We know now.
So, Matt, why’d you come back?
Y'know, if we ever do lose the 2nd Amendment, this guy is the kind of sanctimonious jackass I want to see disarmed first.
Warning. Graphic.
Terrorists shoot officer in Paris during terrorist attack at Charlie Hebdo
Let’s not forget that the fact that the police had no guns is also the dynamic which allowed the perps to escape scot free.

Does the arrogant jerk who wrote this even feel a twinge of irony today? I hope he shares today’s pictures with his 10 year old, of the unarmed cop begging for his life before being shot point blank in the head.
OF course the liberal idiot never considers that millions carry daily and her paranoid scene never happens.
To a liberal we have so much gun violence that we need to ban guns but if you want a gun to defend yourself from all that violence you are just being paranoid.
