It is a sick and twisted ideology that promotes this. It's sad to see our first and longest ally going through this and shackling itself to political correctness and losing to this ideology.
Yeah, terrorists with a set political objective who almost exclusively targeted officials, and eventually voluntarily gave up their terrorist activities.
I'm not defending the NRA, but the difference between them and a bunch of religious zealots strapping explosives to themselves or hitting the gas in a big truck for a one-way mission of carnage is day and night. Generally speaking, NRA members at least valued their own lives - Jihadists can't even claim that much.
Should'nt you worry about your inner cities and guns?
Thank goodness for those guns. Try this in an American city with concealed carry and I can almost guarantee that someone is going to put shots into that truck cab long before 84 people are dead. This doofus drove over a mile through that crowd before he was finally stopped, just rampantly killing. Think about how far that is for NOTHING to impede him.
God bless the Second Amendment. People only see the downside, but it's arguable an attack of this scale, of this type isn't even possible over here because of it.

Not sure I buy this argument. The U.S. just had a attack on that scale, Orlando. Name one terrorist attack in the U.S. that was ever stopped (or even slowed) by a citizen with a gun? The odds of there even being a citizen with a gun at one of these attacks, and the state of mind and position to stop it, are slim to none. Think if you are in a restaurant, theater, or public place and some guy bursts in suddenly spraying gunfire, are you really going to be in a position to shoot the guy with a gun? You are going to be running for your life. Do you really think someone who happened to be carrying a concealed handgun at the Nice Bastille event could have really tried to shoot the driver of the truck who out of nowhere came plowing though a crowd? I just don't buy the argument that more guns in the hands of citizens would prevent or slow terrorism.
The French are going to have to rethink a lot of policies and so is the EU, as people across Europe are becoming increasingly angry and upset.

I have spoken with many French immigrants that often express feeling marginalized in the country and feel like constant 2nd class citizens. Look at those riots that we're going on years back in Paris. There is much more to this.
And yet, they keep coming. These immigrants for the most part would feel more accepted in other muslim countries, but their own kind won't take in the recent influx that have fled to Europe. Maybe now we know why.
