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.

Now let's not be hasty here. The ever unflappable nannie bloomers and the momunists are already on this and declaring something about "gun violence". Geez if the commone everyday Parisian were allowed to pack heat, how many innocents lives might have been lost in a crossfire? Besides, isn't it about the children?

Let in a few million more North African Muslims, and put them on the dole. And give them some cars to burn. Then they’ll be ever so happy and grateful to the French and the Euromasters.

The liberal media will again start screaming for more gun control.

From eyewitness reports I have seen, these muslim idiots were all firing at the same time. A tactical error. Thus, when they had to reload a new mag, there was a definite gap in the firing.

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.

Speaking of gun control, before anyone thinks about attacking a mall in Texas (or in a few other states as well), they should perhaps watch this short video.

They already have. An earlier post showed a facebook post from everytown against whatever implying that this is another example of gun violence and why France needs background checks to close the gun show loophole. Yes Virginia, they are mindless dolts.

"Rescue" time was in hours. An another example of my contention that the police are Servpro for the state.

Islam must be banned. Mosques closed! Islam is responsible for all the violence and loss of human life.

Islam must be banned.

I had a thought last night while watching the tragedy in Paris...

I wonder if ISIS is waiting for obuma to get his gun control thru before they hit us again?

In many similar concert venues in the US, you get scanned while entering so it wouldn’t really be any different here. If you don’t get scanned, it’s quite often restricted by law or by posting by the owner. Your best choice is to not be at a soft target location.

They were milling around outside the building until the gunfire more or less quit. Reminded me of the cops walking along Columbine keeping an ambulance between them and the building with the punk shooters inside.

“A decent knife in the hands of someone with some b@ll$ would have done a lot to curtail the killing.”

Whereas I agree with the sentiment about rushing them (better than waiting to be killed), remember that these fanatics were also wired with suicide bombs.

Trump's proposal is too weak.

Be hasty. You are at war! Islam must be made to reconsider. Only coercion will work. Islam must begin to respect other people, states, countries and religions. The world must remove Islam's safe places and protectors.

This begins with removing all Islamic rights worldwide.Deprive them of all property. Isolate them. Bomb all spaces they occupy. Demolish their mosques. Confiscate their property. Fire them from their jobs. Prevent them from traveling and banking. Expel them from every civilized state. Ban their burkas,veils, and turbans. Insult Islam as a vicious cult. Hunt jihadists and incarcerate them. Outlaw their vicious religious tracts.

Restrict their travel. Remove their citizenship. Deny them private property. Deny visas and passports. Give no sanctuary. Allow no free speech. Take their money away. Allow them no weapons or ammunition. Put them out of all colleges and university. Do not allow them to teach. Take all books including their copies of the Koran. Expel them from all educational institutions. Deny all licenses.

Settle for nothing except surrender.

How difficult is it to obtain a firearm in France? Per Wikipedia France is 12th worldwide for firearm ownership. I assume concealed carry is absolutely verboten?

“.....at least the terrorists didn’t have any guns”......

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? I doubt it very much. Just a simple visit to Chicago and my guess they will come away armed to the teeth.

And over at the UK’s Daily Mail, the English are absolutely terrified- including the police- because no one is allowed to carry or even own a gun unless you are a Blueblood and you use it for hunting quail or some such nonsense- the details of which escape me with only one cup of coffee in my brain cells-

A police officer posted a comment that if he needed to get a firearm, he had to travel 30 MILES to a special place to get one...yet, just last week, British posters were going on ad nauseum about Americans and their love of guns and that the “gun violence” we have here is “well deserved” because we ‘reap what we sow’.

As they sit in their flats, shaking in their boots, maybe they’ll get it- but I doubt it- they will just continue blaming Bush and Blair for invading Iraq...stunning stupidity knows no bounds!

And wasn’t it France-a few years back, not sure when exactly- who proudly declared themselves Muslim-friendly and invited them to bring their rugs and Burkas and enjoy living in a non-judgemental paradise?

” because no one is allowed to carry or even own a gun unless you are a Blueblood and you use it for hunting quail or some such nonsense”. Keep it up and the ‘scotsman’ will jump in and let you know a few things about arms and the UK. :>}

From a Spero News article on the attacks: "Witnesses claimed everyone covered the heads while terrorists calmly shot people for ten minutes, reloading three or four times."

"Everyone covered their heads."

If 50 guys, even unarmed, had rushed the shooters, they could have taken them out. There were 1500 people there.

"Everyone covered their heads."
