Strict Gun Control Powerless as Attacker Opens Fire on High School in France

Yet a 17-year-old attacker had “a revolver, a pistol, a hunting rifle, and two grenades” on his person at the high school in Grasse.

The report of “grenades” is a reminder that all the gun control in the world–even complete confiscation of every firearm ever made–would not stop a determined attacker; this is because determined attackers find other weapons–like trucks in Nice or, in this case, grenades–and are prepared to use those weapons against unarmed, defenseless civilians.

Hmmmm. Must have used the YUGE French gun show loophole. Just wonderin' how come nannie bloomers and his cadre of pink hat wearin' minions don't have branch offices in some of these places? Must be they already have super strict gun control in place.

Does anyone imagine that if terrorist attacks, massacres and honor killings were being done in the name of Judaism, that many of these countries would have a vigorous deportation program? You know they would.

“a revolver, a pistol, a hunting rifle, and two grenades”

I guess the writer knows nothing about guns. Last time I checked a revolver was a pistol. A hunting rifle could be almost anything form black powder to 50 BMG. Precision is lacking in news.

Regarding most terroristic acts, we need muslim control, not gun control.

It is convention that when distinguished from a revolver, a pistol refers to a semi-automatic handgun.

Why all of the grenades in Europe? I thought you could only get them from gun shows in the U.S. through that loop hole thingy.

Jihadists and criminals pay absolutely NO attention to gun laws.
They only affect the law-abiding.
They make the law-abiding sitting ducks.

Jihadis pay a LOT of attention to gun laws, same as criminals.

But only when selecting their targets.

Couldn’t a pistol also be a firelock, matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or any number of single and double barreled modern guns?

I know right. That’s usually where I get my grenades. Oh that and the Army Navy surplus store. They usually have shelves packed with them. ;-)
