At 9:40 PM, November 13, 2015. Bataclan Theater in Paris, France, a car pulled up and three men with AK pattern rifles jump out and began firing, first at the Bataclan Café, then entering the theater next door. The men ran to the mezzanine shouting “Allahu Akbar!” and methodically sweeping the crowded floor with fully automatic fire and throwing hand grenades into the crowd. For twenty minutes the attack went on -- people dying, people bleeding, with some pretending to be dead in hopes they would be left alone. At about 10:00 PM the attackers took 60 to 100 people hostage and threatened to decapitate a hostage every five minutes. As first responders arrive, they are also attacked. Heroic actions on the part of the responding police and tactical units ended the assault, but not before 89 people died.
Twenty of the survivors are still in the hospital a year later.
Many bodies of the dead were so torn up that some believe they were mutilated and tortured. No one really knows whether it was that, or the effect of multiple explosions and bullet impacts.
This gruesome scene was the cumulative result of bad policy, weak government, and low national resolve, combined with explosives and high velocity bullets impacting human flesh and bone. It is a massive failure of government’s first and most important role: keeping citizens safe. If you have a strong stomach, do a Google search for images of Bataclan to see its reality.
Jihadis (along with the mentally ill and the aggrieved and obsessed) are planning more mass murders. Perhaps at your favorite music club, bar, or even your church or synagogue. Or a preschool.

Just like any criminal here doesn't give a hoot what our gun laws are.
The authorities have already said some had their own genitals stuffed in their mouths and women were sexually mutilated and disemboweled. That sounds like torture and mutilation to me.
That's a mighty high price to pay for a "gun free zone".
You never know how you would react, of if it would be fast enough, but...
There was at least one driver who had the opportunity to run over 1 or 2 of the gunmen in front of the patio diners.
You’d have to quickly recognize they weren’t cops.
That's the exact opposite of gun control's philosophy, which is "Disarm the Innocent." Since terrorists don't follow the laws against committing murder, no sensible person expects them to follow gun control laws. The only people disarmed by Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and Hillary are the innocent, and the same for corresponding laws restricting firearms in France.
