When seconds counted...(disarmed citizens)

The growing body count as of this writing is 120 slaughtered in the Bataclan. We'll never know how much that body count could have been reduced if the foolish French allowed their citizens to go armed. Their imprudent gun control laws contributed to unnecessary carnage.

Once again, when seconds counted, the police were just too many minutes away.

Unfortunately they’ve not yet imposed a tax on ammo such as gavin usleless proposes in California. That surely would have slowed them down. Given that amount of time for firing in a gun free zone, actually makes it a free fire zone. And yet, the momunists will talk about mass shootings and gun violence. And the blm assclowns are upset because they’re out of the spotlight because of some minor ruckus in Paris which in no way compares to the travesty they’ve suffered going to college. Bizzaro world? You betcha.

Seems odumbo let in another mass of the Syrian;s just yesterday. Do you suppose the will have any problem buying black market guns here?

What makes you think they'll have to buy them???

I wouldn't be surprised if they "find" them in their (government supplied) housing.

A decent knife in the hands of someone with some b@ll$ would have done a lot to curtail the killing. But, in Paris, you'd be hard pressed to find a decent knife or anyone with some guts.

Underlines mine. As another poster here reported, the pre-dead cowered and covered their heads, waiting to be shot. The message of the classic "Resist, the odds don't matter any more" poster applies here. Better to be shot while strangling the shooter with your bare hands than die cringing in a puddle of your own urine.

In a liberals mindset, if it wasn’t for the US, there would be no guns in the world.

Or just manufacture them. Given their numbers and resources, a few milling machines and tabletop lathes and they could be building out 80% kits like mad, which probably indicates where we’ll see our next legislation directed at us...

If any of the slain citizens had guns and firearm training, this could have been stopped long before it was and innocent lives could have been saved.

This is what gun control reaps.

Here’s another way of looking at it.

Its getting close to that time where folks will start carrying whether the authorities like it or not.

Maybe this will be one of the silver linings in Obama’s plan to destroy this country.

Exactamundo. Many simply do not understand that. Or worse...grasp it but don't "believe" in it.

How about this?

The African nation of Angola has reportedly become the first country to ban Islam and Muslims, reports On Islam. Concerning the ban, Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos said Sunday “this is the final end of Islamic influence in our country.”
Angola’s ban was first announced last Friday, when Angolan Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva said “the process of legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human rights, their mosques would be closed until further notice.”

People of wisdom. It is a start. We need to do the same.

What say the lib morons who were INCENSED when Carson suggested fighting back against hostiles? They would be pink mist if they had been in Paris.

There were 1200-1300 people at that concert theater. Imagine if just 20 were armed with a concealed handgun? This may have turned out differently or at least fewer would have died. The killers had plenty of time to leisurely wander around picking their helpless targets. If ne or two of them were shot it would have changed the outcome radically.

But we'll never know, because nobody was armed except the jihadists. It was a safe GUN FREE ZONE.

Oh yes—and if I am thinking of the same individual, I believe I met the ‘Scotsman’ at the March for Justice in 98- a very smart, interesting person and as you intimated, passionate about all things UK...

And I never mind being corrected; kilt or otherwise! ;)
