So make full auto weapons available to the public so they can match the range?
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

Dude it's all about the culture the French, U.K. and Australia and Russia have different cultures and views on guns you can't compare and say look it's worse. How many of those nations have over 300million people with a constitution that allows them to hold firearms? 0

So you're right. Guns are not the problem. ISIS and terrorist groups are. You'll find France has pretty lax gun laws for Western Europe

Contrary to movie logic, shot does not equal dead.

I carry everyday because when I was an officer it was required to carry when off duty, and it got to be a habit.
