Oh well spotted. I suppose we can throw this one on the nonexistent pile of gunned down corpses towering over France. If only they could aspire to an American class of random massacre.
Since most of the people were killed by a guy driving a truck, it’s pretty fucking stupid to bring gun control into it. Oh, why don’t we require background checks on truck buyers and make sure they’re properly licensed?
This thread is something of an accomplishment, really - if only by virtue of the fact that the majority of the general public could not stoop to such idiotic, crass, and odious drivel if they were actively trying.
So, for continuously and insistently exploring the depths human behaviour can sink to, Stringbean, I salute you.
Late word is that there were guns and grenades in the truck. Not sure if this will turn out to be correct; things are very much in flux.
(When I went out for my afternoon walk, the death toll was thirty; when I got back it was 70. Jeez.)
And, yeah, making a straw-man attack about “My political opponents would say such-and-such about it” is a really crass maneuver. The fact that his political opponents would, in fact, not say any such thing only makes it more inept.
They have. Belgium hasn’t to the same extent. It’s like the closest gun store in Chicago is a couple blocks into Cicero, with free travel between the two.
Though none of that matters to you, since you are a fucking moron.
