Paris shooting

Plenty of decent, reasonable, moderate muslims out there. Religious fundamentalists of any kind are bad news.

I wonder if these gunmen had their licenses up-to-date, their guns registered, and stuck to the ammunition limit as set out by France's gun laws?

This one's nuts, poor cop.

“Three policemen had arrived on bikes but had to leave because the men were armed, obviously,” Benoit Bringer, who works on the same floor as Charlie Hebdo’s offices, told France Info radio, according to The Guardian. “Then the attackers took off in a car.”

CBS News also reported — citing a reporter with Britain’s Telegraph newspaper — that the two officers were apparently unarmed.

Paris police officers have the option of carrying firearms, though many choose not to.`"

If the above is true then thats mind boggling

Amen... One other thing I can predict is that the bleeding hearts will get their panties in a bunch when something similar happens to one of the terrorists. On that date, I predict a distinct dry spell in my tearducts

What makes it relevant is what is the purpose of making the law abiding citizen jump through all these hoops, when obviously the criminals don't.

I think an individual should be licensed to own firearms and to buy ammo, and the test to get the license should ensure the person knows how to safely operate a gun, no criminal record, and no history of mental instability.

I do not believe in atts, registrations, or arbitrary prohibitions based on looks.

Canada's system is not too bad, it just needs a bunch of tweaking. France's system includes all I mentioned, many classes of licenses, registration, ammo limits, prohibitions based on looks, etc.

So to answer your question on how do I know they don't have the paperwork? Because I watched the video and they were using guns that are prohibited in France.

I think that it can be handled the way it's handled with the driver's licenses. If your doctor thinks that you aren't fit to drive, he reports you to the ministry. The point that some of the posters are trying to make is that gun laws just put fewer guns in the hands of the productive members of society while the criminals and terrorists always find a way to get armed. In contrast, read up on the Mercaz HaRav Massacre. It happened in Israel. A terrorist busted into a school and started shooting people, but because it happened in a well-armed society, one of the students put him down with his hunting rifle. The terrorist also had a firearm that wasn't readily available to regular members of the society.

how about this view ....

Why would these guys take out 10 people and bring on all this heat ?

this is just the thing to set off a new campaign on terror.

dont these guys usually do things on a much larger scale ?

Oil is at an all time low, btw
