"Paris, as you know, has one of the strictest gun laws in the world — people can’t just go out and buy a gun like they can in the United States."

It’s the new arms race.

Because nothing make you feel safe like knowing every idiot you see is carrying a gun they’re barely trained to handle.
Maybe the GOP can add CCW & sporting good shops to their local SNAP programs?

I think that’s next in the red states. Corn flakes, milk and a Smith and Wesson.
Of course, Paris and France in general is far, FAR more violent then the United State because of their strict gun laws, right?

You folks wishing for TX to not be the most embarrassing state get to be queen for a day.

Like he needed an excuse. Why don’t they just give the guns away if it’s so important to have them - ya know, like Obama phones? Isn’t this an equal protection thingie? Only those who can afford to defend themselves will?

We tried to give free guns to the French once before, but ended up having to invade Europe anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP-45_Liberator

Homer Simpson with a Glock .40 inside his ample waistband versus a maniac with body armor, ballistic helmet, and an AR-15? Homer could come up to bat 100 times and not get on base once. It’s simply no contest, even if they faced off dueling-style. In the middle of the carnage and mayhem that kind of firepower can instantly create, it would be a miracle to hit the bad guy, much less stop him.

I hope he realizes his deputies are potentially risking their lives every time they pull someone over. I hope he realizes terrorists will avail themselves of these same laws. Sounds more like a political statement than reasoned public policy.

Now, now – you know how these ammo-sexuals go all freaky when the conversation heads to “invasion” … especially with Obama sitting in the White House.
To the good authorities in Missouri, you are NOT being invaded by anyone. You are free to go all hog-wild with the gun thingie.
This is what I don’t understand. My friend is a 15 year veteran of the police force in a fairly poor town that has its share of hillbilly rednecks. He will say domestic calls are his most dangerous calls and the time when he’s most likely to get hurt. But liberals, Obama and gun control are all bad.
I just don’t understand. I just don’t,

The lack of logic in their argument is beyond words.

I didn’t realize that there were so many “Chicken Little’s” in this country, all vowing for the top spot that Trump or Wayne LaPierre, now hold’s!
Geez…kinda like you can’t keep track of the number of guns and who owns them in this country? Oh yeah…let’s make them MORE readily available.

Gawd, here we go again…walking away shaking my head…
This works so long as no one actually does it. The last thing this idiotic Sheriff want’s is a shoot out in a Mall or supermarket that was facilitated by his “idea”. But it will happen and folks will die because this fucking man cannot keep his politics in his pants and foisted a lethal agenda on those he is sworn to protect. He doesn’t want you to have a gun for your safety. He want’s you to have it because it represents a conservative victory. A political victory. And people are going die needlessly because of it. And to fix all that slaughter…he’ll resign with a pension.
Three years ago next Monday, a troubled young man whose mother thought teaching a person on the autism spectrum about guns would somehow help him slaughtered twenty first graders with an AR-15, along with half a dozen teachers and administrators who died trying to stop him or trying to shield the children from the storm of bullets with their own bodies.
And yet, somehow, in the wake of that nightmare, the right called for calm and deliberation and consideration that the act was a one-off event. No hysteria, not fearmongering that the same thing could happen in any school at any time.
Admittedly, they’ve been consistent in insisting that the answer is, as always Moar Gunz!

Yep. Gotta have guns to keep them Ni(CLANG!) (oops! I mean MOOSLUMS) in line you know.
This is just a stealth way to keep the “Darkies” under control in his county.
You do know what the rednecks call Arabs right? “Sand Ni(CLANG!)”.
That is a great idea. We should start by giving out guns in the poorest areas first. I am sure the GOP would feel safer if we armed poor black and latino people first.
