WashPost Asks, With Straight Face: Why Didn’t Strict Gun Laws Stop Charlie Hebdo Massacre?

Indeed? Did the French Police not blow their whistles loud enough? How could this tragedy have occured?

I’m reminded of the beaten and battered ex-wife who gets a restraining order against her abusive ex husband. And as he returns to beat and choke her to death - she keeps waiving that restraining order in his face.

Last year on a thread about violence against women, I posted that maybe women getting divorces or separations from violent husbands should get firearms. Some female Freeper responded in rage that I would have allowed a gun in a house with a violent male.

I responded back that with a gun, at least a female (who is almost always much weaker than a male) at least has a chance. Men don't need guns to kill defenseless women. Size alone can accomplish an evil deed. Certainly, when both have been living in separate quarters, the female should get a gun.

When I saw the french cops who were bicycle cops with their little bike helmets and no weapons, I didn’t know whether to laugh, or weep...

Immediately upon reading this post I saw in my mind the picture of Neville Chamberlain waving his little piece of paper after reaching an agreement with the Fuhrer.
