    Durka Durka Jihad had weapons, and grenades in his truck. How's that gun control working out in Eurotard land?

    No you brought up Obama, that you think Obama is the epitome of left wing politics in Europe shows just how little you know about left wing politics. Most left wingers in Europe would. see Obama as center to right wing. Out of interest at what point did you think I was losing the argument?

    People used to think fascists were barbaric monkeys and fought a global war against them.

    What it have been okay for a cop to simply summarily execute you if you lived in America in 1940's for being a fascist?

    Guess you don't follow the news? He had one gun. The rest were fake.
    Gun control laws are working quite good. We are also eliminating the loopholes that were there so it should get better.
    How is it working out in the US? How many have been killed in the last day?

    And that was illegal, unconscionable, and evil.

    Two guys are talking about possibly robbing a bank in the future. A cop overhears and shoots both of them on the spot.

    That is the scenario the OP is advocating.

    According to what I saw this morning from "inspire" magazine it was stated that if the truck attack was not successful then turn the firearms. Paraphrasing...

    It's working out fine since %0.00003522 of our population lost their lives to guns last year. Do they teach math in Eurotard land?

    If you think Obama is off topic then why did you ask me a question about him? You factually lost the argument at the point you started whining about me being off topic after I responded to your question to me about Obama.
    Lastly for a guy who accused me of being off topic for discussing Obama, you seem to be still discussing him. Like I care what someone in europe classifies obama as. Hypocrite much?

    Keep reading. I acknowledged that I misread the OP to him, apologized to him, and then agreed with him.

    Good lord.

    In other words, he should be classified as an enemy combatant in a war and not a criminal suspect. Well that's an approach worth considering.

    To a certain extent, I don't see the need for fear mongering over terrorist attacks. Since you as a individual, have a statistically low chance of being killed in a terrorist attack. That doesn't mean one should outright dismiss terrorism, and its consequences. Be bluntly honest about its source, attack that source, and safeguard against the source.

    Simple enough.

    No, you asked me to quote Obama, I have no idea what quotes you wanted,and no interest in him, I was interested in how incredibly parochial your idea that "Obama is most leftists" was. I do not like to stereotype people but that really is how many European's see some Americans. As I have said if you think Obama is left wing by our standards you really need to educate yourself on Europe, and we are discussing europe, you do realise Nice is in France which is part of Europe?

    So you claim we shouldn't be concerned about gun deaths because statistically very few people get shot...but we SHOULD be concerned about terrorism even though far fewer people will be affected by it...

    Consistency isn't your strong suit.

    I think we should be concerned about both. That's being consistent

    Or better yet, people desiring to buy flammable liquids such as gasoline need to have a background check (pay) and apply (pay) for a permit to buy them. They'll need to show the permit anytime they wish to buy a flammable liquid and renew it every year along with an additional background check.

    I remember we went on alert in Berlin when Kennedy was shot.
    I was talking to the local TV station when she told me she had to go because they had to get on the air with news that a plane had run into the world trade center.


    And last night I woke up to this music at the beginning of the Jim Bohannon show. They played 20 seconds of it at every break there after. The whole show was about the news from France of course.
    If anyone recognizes the melody please let me know.
    Thanks.:salute:

    I don't buy that. Think about it...the truck attack has problems so jump from the cab, go to the back of the truck and select among a lot of arms and grenades! I suspect terrorist would have a bit of trouble with that scheme. A gun with ammo and some grenades maybe but not what was there.
