Or not impact at all?

Obviously the criminals and terrorists never seem to follow the law... they bring their AK47's into "gun free zones". Many cops in Europe don't even have a gun. Like the one's who were first on the scene today riding on bicycles, and not armed.

I'm interested in seeing some opinions on here from Europeans.

The gun ownership angle hadn't crossed my mind to be honest.

Won't help. Islam is the problem. Radicalism will continue to grow until Islam takes over the world completely

But it might give you a chance to protect yourself. I just think about these poor people in that office today - even if they had advanced notice from security cameras that these terrorists were coming to kill them, there was literally nothing they could have done about it. Even if the police could get there immediately, they would have to be armed.

No, it does not change my mind one bit. I am not in favor of gun ownership. Period.

Dude, there's gun lust saliva dripping down your chin.

This is one of the most striking myths anywhere, drummed up by the NRA and other gun loving Americans. Just a false narrative (see article):

The myth of the almighty gun

Me, myself, I protected myself from assailants 10 times last year with my car keys alone! Hmm, now how do I prove that?...

Is that right? I don't own a gun. But feel free to keep making ASSumptions

Those must be some great car keys!

Yes I agree, if the victims had a gun, they might have a little chance. And at least they wouldn't have been killed like animals.
The problem is that having a gun is a tabou in Europe (you're almost a fascist if you prone that). So we europeans are going to disappear without any fight. Because the suburban riff-raff, funny enough, have no taboo at all.

I don't even need car keys. I've protected myself from assailants with my superior control of my body's electromagnetic energy! I'm a Qi Gong master.

and isn't that a little sad

is being PC so important that people would exchange their safety for it? This is a different world we live in. Europe is unrecognizable from even 15-20 yrs ago.
