Never, ever,

Let a crisis go to waste.

EU Commission uses crisis of Paris Terrorist attacks to further tighten private gun ownership laws to keep the citizens safe.

(Full text HERE)

‘Cause the terrorists will get their guns legally…..and it is so difficult , apparently, to get a full auto Kalishnikov in Europe….

And we all know Islamic terrorists follow the laws…….Right? Making it illegaler to possess such weapons will help keep those atrocities from happening, right?

ETA: Not that some Illinois politicians are any better

“Round up the usual suspects”

So France, in an attempt to shut the stable door after the equine had bolted, apparently raided something like 75 assorted houses and compounds, seeking suspects in the terrorist attacks of Friday. Seems they found a “significant amount” of weapons and explosives.

Gotta  Do Something…, I get that…..More importantly, the police and other authorities gotta be SEEN Doing Something.

But here is the question: If they knew where to look, and had reasonable suspicion to execute a search (and were, apparently correct in their suspicions) then WHY DIDN’T THEY DEAL WITH THE ISSUE of the terrorist safe houses BEFORE the attack?  Why did they wait until AFTER some of their countrymen had been killed and injured? If they were raid worthy on Saturday or Monday, WHY WERENT THEY RAID WORTHY ON THE THURSDAY BEFORE THE ATTACKS?

Did their inaction result in increased casualties and deaths?

Twas true then…..

And I think it shall prove true today.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

The French were a big part of the Crusades…..will they be again?

Pictures of what can happen when the populace is disarmed…

And someone decides to slaughter the sheep...(somewhat graphic, deal with it or don’t click the link)

Remember, this is from the “religion of peace”.

Not saying that one “good guy with a gun” could have stopped this slaughter….but then again, he (or she) could have possibly cut down on the number of victims…4 men did this atrocity. 1 man with a spare magazine could have suppressed their fire.

Most concert venues here in the US are “Gun free Zones” too.

So the word of the day on CBS

is “Radicalized”.

Seems that we can blame whomever “Radicalized” these Frenchmen French Muslims who were part of the terror attack.

Why is it that it is only the Muslims that get “Radicalized”? It isn’t the German Lutherans who go all Radical….isn’t the Catholics, nor the Protestants nor the Buddists nor the Wicccans nor the Druids …

What is it about the Muslim faith that lends itself to “Radicalization”?

Yes, I know it is a small percentage of Muslims that “radicalize”. What percentage of a population is it acceptable wherein that percentage may go nuts and kill you? If 1% of dogs went nuts every year and attacked and killed people, we would have no dogs in this country….1/2% ? Is that acceptable? Maybe .001% of muslims  Can be Radicalized?? I dunno..

How many is too much of a danger?
