European Police: Gun Control Not Working, Jihadists Have Us Outgunned

Police armed with pistols in heavily gun-controlled European countries are realizing a hard lesson fast–jihadists with no respect for the law are side-stepping gun control and stockpiling weapons that will give them the upper hand in confrontations with officers.

Europol chief of staff Brian Donald says there were two “large seizures” of firearms–particularly “assault weapons”–over the last two weeks and more seizures are expected as investigations and tracking continues.

Oh boo hoo; that’s so sad; or maybe its not so sad, IF they admit (1) its not any gun that’s guilty but the person behind it and their ill intent with it, and (2) the criminals can always get guns; gun control does not stop them, because there is always the people and the means by which the criminal can and will get around any gun control.

In Pakistan’s tribal areas, you’ve long had people MAKING guns, like the AK-47, using tools any Frenchman could buy.

How will you stop jihadis from MAKING guns?

We have the 2nd amendment for several reasons all of which find their foundation in the Right to defend ones self and their fellow brother... Whether the enemy is Government, a Group/Gang, or Individuals wishing to Interfere with the Rights of the Victim...

Europe(Everyone) Needs to Stand for this too, ASAP!

Note: Controlling Nations cannot allow it because it is a challenge to their authority and Freedom finds its way into the Mainstream! or everybody is Killed(check out Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Che...) MILLIONS of Innocent Dead!!!

Free Men Own Guns Slaves Do NOT!

In Europe the Islamic terrorists and muslims have the people out-gunned. Not so in America. And they better not start here....

Not having a Second Amendment and making every effort to control firearms of all types, Europe now finds itself awash in military grade firearms and other weapons. Unfortunately, most of them are in the wrong hands!

The honest folk find themselves mostly armed with cricket bats and chair legs. Unlikely more than a handful have anything approaching the civilian version of the AR-15 or even a Ruger Mini-14 (excepting the Swiss of course).

Guess who is likely to win the first rounds when the going gets tough and the "immigrant" Muslims start rampaging in earnest?

“their JBT guard dogs.”

I prefer the term “state-sponsored terrorists.” It more accurately reflects their inherent cowardice and their inability to stand toe-to-toe in a firefight against men armed with rifles.

Federal JBTs showed who and what they are - cowards - when they attacked women, children and babies at Waco.

“But they should have them at hand if they need them, like in the trunk of the cop car.”

Back in the 60’s I can recall seeing a Federal gas gun, or a shotgun carried above the driver side doors of many patrol cars.

Heck yeah. Works just as well there as it does here in keeping bad people from obtaining weapons. Oh, never mind.

LOL! If Scotsman is watching this, I’m sure he’ll have some commentary. Maybe they’ll ask us to loan them some “civilian” weapons again.

Liberalism collides with reality again, and the outcome isn’t good ... again.

I have already discussed UK/European civilian weapon laws and facts/numbers, as well as UK/European police arms, on several threads.

LOL! Good morning. I knew you might make some statement. Hope all is well across the pond. Possibly some folks haven’t seen your corrections to some, uh, inaccuracies.

I read recently that it is estimated that France has over 20 million illegal firearms...in a country of 66 million people. If true, then either a lot of Frenchmen are law breakers, or the new Mujahid population is ready for war.
