France's Strict Gun Laws Did NOTHING to Stop Jihadist Terrorist Attacks

"France's Strict Gun Laws Did NOTHING to Stop Jihadist Terrorist Attacks"

Wrong.

This fails as an appeal to ignorance fallacy.

There is no evidence that with lax gun laws the attacks would have been 'prevented.'

That the attacks occurred in the context of France's gun laws is therefore not 'justification' to 'repeal' such laws or to otherwise not implement them elsewhere.

No one said allowing law abiding gun owners to own and carry guns would prevent gun crime...there are more than enough anti gunners out there who will be easy victims for criminals....

What we say is that gun control laws, even the extreme gun control laws of France, will not stop criminals or terrorists from getting guns......and we are right.

We are also right when we say that gun free zones kill people.
 
If France had 300 million guns like we do, would they have stopped the attacks?

doesn't seem to work for us


Dude......you guys have made just about every public space a gun free zone for normal, law abiding gun owners...then you post something stupid like that......

You make every public space gun free...then when the killers go to the gun free zone with illegal guns and murder people you smugly say.....see....no armed civilian stopped them, so we don't need more guns......

Your gun free zones keep the very people who would stop these things from having the guns needed to stop them....
 
neither did californias strict gun laws stop the attack

it was even an illegal transfer of firearms

So why have any laws against anything?

So why have any laws against anything?

And then you guys post that stupid statement...again and again....

We have laws that tell people what behavior will be punished.....therefore we already have laws that say if you use a gun to commit a crime you will be punished....we have those laws....

We also have laws that say if you are a felon.....and are caught in possession of a gun you can be immediately arrested....

And those laws actually work.....where they fall down is when the judges and prosecutors don't convict and sentence these guys.....

So we already have all the laws we need to lock up bad people...

Then...you guys want laws that work to prevent the law from being broken in the first place, rather than punishing people after they break the law the way all other laws actually work.....

You want Tom Cruise, "Minority Report" Pre-Crime laws that prevent the criminal use of a gun before it happens....so you are the guys who want the dumb laws.....

You think that licensing normal gun owners...registering the guns of normal gun owners....and forcing non criminals to submit to universal background checks will act like Pre-Crime..that they will prevent gun crimes....

And of course you are completely wrong.....laws only work when someone breaks them and they are punished....and if someone doesn't care about the consequences...they will break any law you make.......until you catch them and put them in jail........
 
So...

Unless gun laws can stop 100% of all shootings, we shouldn't have any gun laws

Maybe we should apply the same standard to all of our laws

Allow me to repeat my answer to your stupid post.....

And then you guys post that stupid statement...again and again....

We have laws that tell people what behavior will be punished.....therefore we already have laws that say if you use a gun to commit a crime you will be punished....we have those laws....

We also have laws that say if you are a felon.....and are caught in possession of a gun you can be immediately arrested....

If France had 300 million guns like we do, would they have stopped the attacks?

doesn't seem to work for us

Lets paint the picture...

All these people at a heavy metal rock concert armed. So the shooting starts and every pulls out there guns shooting...


Nope....the attack never happens...because the terrorists are not looking for a gun fight they are looking to commit murder...if they think that they have a chance of being killed immediately and not achieving a high body count, they will go somewhere else...how do we know this...

They all attack gun free zones.......they do not attack the local police stations......do they.....

And you really need to actually do some research into actual gun self defense events......if you did you wouldn't post what you just posted.

Temple massacre has some Sikhs mulling gun ownership

The president of the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin had only a butter knife on hand, which he used to fight the gunman. He was killed, but his heroic actions were credited for slowing the shooter. Guns were not allowed in the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin.

“No guns [were] allowed in the temple,” Kulbir Singh, an attendee of the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, told FoxNews.com. “Everyone knows that it’s not allowed, anywhere in the temple.”
 
One of our resident liberals here is saying that to combat terrorism they would institute universal background checks, limit magazine capacities, and ban assault weapons. Well, folks, we just had two horrible jihadist terrorist attacks with automatic weapons in a country where the gun laws are much tougher than that: France.

All automatic weapons are illegal in France, with no exceptions. Ownership of semi-auto weapons is heavily restricted, requiring, among other things, a background check and a license. Handguns are virtually impossible to own. Ammo is heavily regulated, and gun owners are only allowed to possess a small number of bullets. To buy a gun, you must apply for a permit and must provide a valid reason for wanting to own a gun. In fact, France has no personal right to own firearms in its constitution. (And, FYI, France has for years been run by politicians who would be viewed as liberal or very liberal by American standards.)

What are the liberal "solutions" for preventing jihadist terrorism? Let's see:

* Severely restrict (if not end) our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms, even though such an approach just failed miserably in France. The jihadists' weapons included AK-47 rifles, which can fire in both semi-automatic and automatic mode--in other words, with one flick of the selector switch, the AK-47 becomes a machine gun.

* Allow into the country 10,000 more people from the one and only demographic group that has provided all the recruits for jihadist terrorism (that would be Muslims), even though it's now painfully obvious that our supposedly "extensive and comprehensive" vetting system is badly flawed, and even though several intelligence officials have now said that we cannot properly screen the Syrian refugees.

* Refuse to take any responsibility for the disastrous, tragically misguided decision of Farook's neighbors who had suspicions about him and his wife but who decided not to report their suspicions to authorities for fear of engaging in "racial profiling" or "discrimination."

You would think that after San Bernardino, liberals would say, "Obviously, from now on, if you see Muslims, or people who you think are Muslims, doing things that strike you as suspicious or that just seem odd for your neighborhood or area, err on the side of caution and say something to authorities."

* Oppose efforts to seal the border or to substantially improve border security (just look at the debates and votes in Congress on border security issues, or visit liberal websites that discuss immigration policy), even though we have had a rash of cases of Muslims trying to enter the country with fake passports.

* Support sanctuary cities, where officials purposely refuse to cooperate with law enforcement officials who are trying to enforce our immigration laws.

* Refuse to even support laws that say that you will be deported if you're in the country illegally and you commit a violent crime. (No kidding. Democrats recently blocked Kate's Law in the Senate, which would have required the deportation of any illegal alien who committed a violent crime.)

* Refuse to even call Islamic terrorism Islamic terrorism and engage in ridiculous comparisons to nominally "Christian" lone-nut gunmen as a way to avoid admitting the self-evident fact that the more Muslims a country has, the greater its chances of being attacked. The simple fact of the matter is that there is no worldwide Christian terrorist movement that is trying to overthrow democratic governments, that is beheading people, that is using drug money to help fund its operations, that is imposing Sharia law, that is preventing girls from attending school, that blows up schools if girls don't stop attending them, that is engaging in the wide-scale trafficking of women, that denies the Holocaust, that vows to destroy Israel, and that has killed thousand of Americans.

You guys express it all the time....

Every gun control law that you guys say you want is precisely built on the premise that gun control laws can prevent gun crime...every single one, from licensing gun owners, to registering all guns to universal background checks....and they do not do that...they do not prevent gun crimes and they don't even help solve gun crimes.

Gee, the right wing used to be all for "law and order". I guess we can chalk that up to another BIG LIE failure from a talking point used by the far right.

we are talking about mass shootings, not mass murders PC.

And whatever measure used here should be the same measure used in france for your comparison blueslegend.....

not apples vs oranges.

AND Mikey, how do you know how many terrorist acts were prevented from happening in France with gun control? We know a few succeeded getting guns and the mass shootings....even with gun control and borders, but how many would there have been without any gun control at all?

We don't know, so we really have nothing to compare a 'with or without' gun control situation in France....



"In fact, what the media isn’t saying is that many of the fatalities in the Mass Shooting Tracker are actually gang-related – not acts of terrorism or irrational mayhem.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 12,272 deaths from gunfire in the US so far in 2015. But of these 12,272 deaths, 4,038 stemmed from an officer-involved shooting, 2,085 from a home invasion robbery, 1,755 from accidents, and 1,133 from self-defense.

The number of people killed in “mass shootings” to date in 2015 is 309 – but even these “mass shootings” include gang violence, robberies, and family murder-suicide incidents. As Mark Follman points out in the New York Times, “including them in the same breath suggests that a 1 am gang fight in a Sacramento restaurant, in which two were killed and two injured, is the same kind of event as a deranged man walking into a community college classroom and massacring nine and injuring nine others.”

When you eliminate incidents like gang shootouts, robberies and family murder-suicides, it turns out the number of “mass shootings” are actually far less than the media is claiming.

Mother Jones, that bastion of gun rights fanaticism, counts 73 incidents of mass shootings over the past three decades – roughly two a year."
