Houston Chronicle ^ | January 8, 2015 | JOHN LEICESTER

PARIS (AP) — As if to prove that pens are mightier than swords, cartoonists around the world reacted to the cold-bloodied assassination of their colleagues at French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo as only they can: with powerful drawings worth thousands of words.

Defiant, angry, poignant, irreverent and sobering, their drawings united cartoonists in grief, tried to make sense of the nonsensical, and sent a shared message: We must not, will not and should not be silenced. Some drawings touched such a nerve they made one want to both laugh and cry..........

I don't see any more cartoons of a cartoonish Muhammad.

So, where is all the "not being silenced" being demonstrated...?

When they dump political correctness, multiculturalism and allow citizens to purchase firearms for protection, be sure to start a thread.

Don't worry, no need.

There has been hugh sales of guns and ammo the last couple of years, even with the “PC” nonsense still around.

The police don't even carry over there.

Where are you getting your info that Europeans are even allowed to buy guns and ammo? Certainly nothing for self defence.

The police over in France are not allowed to carry guns, you are right on that one.

I should have said “Americans” in the previous posts buying guns and ammo.

Sorry, fingers faster then a brain that is work to get rid of a bad cold.

Unfortunately, Americans buying huge amounts of guns and ammo is not going to help disarmed Europeans.

So there is no evidence that there is a retreat from their determined slow march suicide.

Sorry to hear about your bad cold. I hate them. Have a good day.

Unlike over in Europe, when the jihadis come to cause trouble here in the USA, and they will, look for more armed Americans to take them out.
