Yes. But it's a totally different type of enemy. A bomb would only make more of these groups sprout and take arms against that "huge injustice" and the cycle starts again. Because ISIS forces in Syria currently mainly come from OTHER countries. It's not like there is an emperor or a furher that will capitulate and stop, they function differently, like a Hydra.

And yet the irony of your gun control ideology is lost on you......
Still less deaths in Paris compared to gun deaths in the US over the past few weeks....what were you saying?
I bet he's saying those Paris victims should be able to protect themselves. Just a guess of course.
Only the odd North American armchair cowboys are even bringing this subject up. I'm busy keeping in touch with what's going on back in Europe and its not even a topic.
Bull****. There's a 5 week back-order on pepper spray in Germany at the moment. People are going to Austria (one of the few EU nations where you can buy guns) to arm themselves.

Oh I see, so "blanket bans on population for the sins of a psychopathic minority" only applies to 80 million law abiding gun owners in the US (because it's "those" folks that are doing the killing in the US), not terrorist nations and their bombs. Got it..........
Mike..the sooner you realise that it's people with your mindset who shouldn't be allowed to look after a ****ing puppy let alone a ****ing gun that gun control laws are written for.... the ****ing better.
And no...it's not a major issue in the EU. I have friends still in Paris as I used to live there.

I don't believe that anyone's is going to see a massive personal arming in Europe, or Canada either. As far as gun control, simply compare two almost identical cities: Toronto and Chicago. Same population, similar demographics and geological location.
Murders in Toronto - about 50
Murders in Chicago - about 500
A lot of people don't know that we have more guns per capita here in Canada than many countries. Just not guns designed to kill a lot of people quickly.

I believe it was Donny T, you know the big candidate of GOP who suggested it, plus bunch of other republican candidates (who else). I can see that it would work really well, if everyone in the music club had a gun and started shooting. In the confined space with limiting lighting, I am sure it would worked out great.

JC, Just admit it, your statement about blanket bans on a majority because of some nutters has done nothing but reveal the hypocrisy of your viewpoint on gun control.
PS, my puppy loves me and he has the life of riley

You're the only nutter really interested in this topic. Europeans in general are not interested in the slightest at following rabid yanks down a rabbit hole and are quite happy with the status quo much to the annoyance of the hysterical (everybody carry a) gun crowd. I've been in Paris after a terrorist attack on the metro system and I still feel safer there than I do in some American cities as I know I'm not potentially surrounded by brain dead Rambo wannabees.
LOL so true:lmao:... a civilized society is not where we tell others we are better than them.. its when society as a whole accepts ALL POSITIVE changes and incorporates those changes to the best of its ability, with out the "my way or you gotta die way"... when we celebrate the right of choice while we deny others the right to choose their own paths.. we force our ways onto others by saying we are modern... define modern? is the definition not limited to the use of more efficient tools to achieve the same or similar objective?.. especially considering our ways are far more destructive to the environment and disturbingly unsustainable... shouldn't we be easternizing instead, especially if we are as civilized and modern as we claim to be?
eliminate corporate greed and political agenda's and the world starts to feel heck of a lot friendlier...

Then how do you explain such a massive discrepancy in murder rates between Chicago and a city like Portland?
Just a CRAZY idea, but perhaps homicide rates have more to do with social and economic variables than simply the availability of a given weapon? Yeah I know, totally nuts.
have you considered that social and economic factors combined with easier access to weapons are the perfect cocktail for the high crime rate.. their is no SINGLE contributor in my view.. its a combinations of things which create the perfect storm.
after all we have social and economic problems here as well in Toronto.. why aren't people dropping dead by the dozens daily?

I don't care. Im Canadian, I have no idea why so many of my fellow citizens are so deeply concerned with violence rates in the US. What I do know is that in Chicago, more than 30% of the homicides are gang related, and more than 75% of the victims and offenders are poor black people from the south side. Changes there won't happen from new gun laws (they already have a thousand of em), they'll happen when the black community gets their **** together and starts investing into their youth. Its a SOCIAL issue.

To paraphrase the late, great Milton Friedman - the success of a society can be measured by the movement of it's people. Just look at how many muslims are fleeing their countries. I don't think I've ever heard of someone looking forward to living in muslim country...

You're not allowed to make such statements. We can't point out obvious facts, you may be labelled a racist or islamophobe or something.
I know that the US plays a dirty game and has been meddling and arming 'rebels' in the Middle East for decades now, but that only speaks to the fact that these people are so ready and willing to massacre one another, that all it takes is a crate of AK47s and grenades delivered to their doorstep. The same goes for homegrown radicalists... these ****ing nutbags are so on the fringe, that all it takes is a sense of injustice and some propaganda to drive them to suicide bombings and shooting up concern venues? It's ridiculous.. how much longer before they're out of the stone age?

so true.. muslim culture has degraded unbelievably.. note.: muslim culture not islamic culture.. no such thing as islamic culture... people need genuine representation which serves the genuine interest of its public and not foreign interest.. unfortunately thats no were in sight.. don't think i will see that in my life time.
