I don't know if this is an apocryphal tale but It's neat enough so I sent in on to my wife to share with her woman's shooting group!  Jim

Why are they not talking about more gun control in France?
In the USA every time there is a mass shooting the liberals, the mainstream media, and the New York Times lecture us and congress on the need for more gun control.
I have not heard a single person say or write that France needs more gun control.
Where did those terrorists get those AK47s?
I am glad to be here.

Where did those terrorists get those AK47s? Did they buy them in a private sale in the parking lot of a gun show? We've got to close the (imaginary) loopholes. (Sarcasm)

Great point Mike. And the bad guys not only somehow got access to prohibited full-auto firearms, but grenades and explosives as well. Once again, the bad guys with guns were stopped by good guys with guns. Laws and restrictions on the law abiding people of France did absolutely nothing to prevent this tragedy.
The lessons learned by the participants in the most recent Democrat Presidential Candidates Debate... Zip, Zero, Nada!
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

It should be noted that it's is almost impossible to own a pistol in Paris and the carrying of firearms for personal protection in France is illegal period. The means that Paris is a "gun free Zone" as became readily apparent as the gunmen shot their victims without any concern regarding return fire until the police arrived. Thank God this is NOT the situation for many of us here. And BTW: If you live in one of these U S cities and are going about unarmed you are IMO a true fool! http://www.snopes.com/2015/11/16/isis-kill-list/Another point: ISIS claims to have at least 75 armed and trained terrorists scattered across the U S at this time.

Chris Cuomo (CNN?) was in Paris and interviewing someone. Cuomo said there was a "very robust black market for guns" in Paris.
How can that be? They have sensible gun controls in place and so there can be no black market.

An impression of Texas: I was in Texas last week, celebrating Christmas with my daughter and family. On Friday morning I had breakfast in a restaurant in a small town in the oil patch. The parking lot was filled with pickup trucks, the dining room with rough men, mostly bearded, wearing work clothes and muddy boots. I knew by looking at them that each of them owned a gun and knew how to use it. I could NOT visualize this group of men, if faced with an ISIS or a brutal dictator, leaving their home and country, fleeing to another and pleading "go fight my battle". I believe, to a man, they would stay and do this work themselves.
God bless men like these, and the USA....WE must protect our 2nd amendment rights.

"WE must protect our 2nd amendment rights."
agreed, but should there be any limits to our second amendment rights?
if not, then are all existing federal, state and local arms control laws an infringement of our second amendment rights?
