Again, willing to take some heat for this.

Y'all know all of those reasonable, rations, common sense, incremental restrictions on guns that the American political left trots out every time there is a "mass" shooting in the U.S.?

That's pretty much exactly the gun control laws France has.

I'm not trying to politicize this as much as to point out that gun laws are virtually ineffective against the types of vile human beings who perpetrate these kinds of actions.

Let them call it "politicizing" if they want. We can no longer afford to waste time trying to respond to idiotic rhetoric and instead boldly and LOUDLY tell the truth. Depriving the citizenry of arming themselves results in death tolls that are this high. Period.

I argued in an earlier post that the primary thing we should look at before implementing any additional restrictions on guns is the effectiveness of those policies when applied elsewhere. In this case, it seems reasonable that the EU gun restrictions were not effective in stopping this kind of determined attack executed by people who have no regard for laws. I know basing new policy on actual empirical data is a strange and radical idea, but it works for me.
