Yes lets do like other places, lets have millions of weapons out there...

[X Factor 1,112]

Weapons or lack of weapons isn't the problem IMO. Something in seriously wrong with people that they want to kill others.

Maybe Obama should tell them to quit clinging to thier guns and religion

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

It only works if you clearly post signs in the areas that you want to control. This was not done.

I freely admit to swiping that graph from Ready4ONE.

It just fit so much better in this topic.

At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.

This is what bothers me more than anything. When folks start identifying Muslims as terrorists, it's going to be another dark day for America.

Yeah, all we have to do is look at the aftermath of of 9/11 to see that skin color will make people a target. Look how many Sikh's were targeteded in revenge attacks.

I honestly think some countries must look at the US and shake their heads.

How can anyone argue that gun control doesn't work in France when their gun deaths aren't even in the same ball park as ours?

France: Gun control = 263 deaths over a 150 year period

USA: 300 million plus guns = 11,559 gun deaths as of today. This year alone.

France: Mass shootings = 11 since 1875

USA: Mass shootings= 291 this year alone.

What am I missing?

The Paris attacks came on the first day of the Muslim lunar month of Safar, which coincides with the anniversary of the Prophet Mohammed’s first successful “ghazva” (raid) against the “infidel” at Safwan in 623 AD.

The Islamic State is already referring to the Paris attacks as another “ghazva,” promising many more. The aim is to terrorize all mankind into submitting to the diktats of The Only True Faith.

They still are. I was in DC when that happened. I remember if you weren't black, white, hispanic, or Asian, you got the cops called on you. Just for walking down the street. I can't even imagine what it was like for any Muslims to fly right afterwards.

And what does this have to do with my initial question? If gun control failed because France has had 263 deaths in a 150 year period, how can we successfully claim having guns in our country is a deterrent when we lose 11,000 plus lives every year due to gun violence?

It was also Friday 13th, world kindness day, and the feast of St. Homobonus, among other things.

I'm not sure if any of that matter's to terrorists. Obviously the timing was about looking for mass casualties. I doubt all the events going on in Paris that day had anything to do with what lunar month it was.
