Counting suicides is bullshite.

They account for 2/3 of the total gun deaths.

I'm just pointing out that we seem obsessed with terrorism in Europe. Maybe it is an issue of misallocation of resources.

I'm not obsessed with Europe. I couldn't care less what happens in that irrelevant part of the world.

Why would you count suicides? Someone who is going to commit suicide can do it by any number of means, and will, with or without guns

there are far more Americans and Europeans killed by cars than any of the above. Why haven't we outlawed cars?


You just are showing your ignorance with statements like this.

Only reason I'm concerned is because the US seems to follow about 20ish years behind

Multiculturalism and open borders coming home to roost in Europe. The French president keeps saying they are at war with ISIS but doesn't do anything about it. Angela Merkel has sold the soul of Germany.


When Europe starts to show that they are serious about pulling their weight in the fight against ISIS, will they start to show that they will fight against terrorism at home. Not before. Britain has contributed, but has been held back by EU. Now they can chart their own course.

US will have to end it.
Trump might, Hillary won't.

At some point when they do a large enough attack, there will be the need to use a nuclear weapon on a country like Syria and you just accept the civilian casualties you get with eradicating ISIS.

You're going to see some serious nationalist movements in Europe in the next couple years. It has already started in the UK and a few other countries. I think France is next on the list.


They are already trying to shut it down here with the new AFD party. The government and the media here are trying to stop them ,by using the classic you are a Nazi if you reject Islam and not take in refugees.

The difference in the Gun/Terrorism argument is very easy to see....

1. Terrorism is a tool used to spread an ideology. Two thugs shooting each other over a drug deal gone bad doesn't have a long term goal of taking over a continent.

2. Almost all loss of life to terrorism is INNOCENT. They don't know their victims or have tangible reasons to kill them other than to promote their agenda. MOST gun violence in the US is personal. The most obvious (suicide) is to end one's own life, and the majority of the others have personal motivation against the victim, and like previously mentioned the majority is done between non producers of the country.

Young Muslims Threaten Nudist Bathers With Extermination

This is where I do not understand these people and it shows they cannot be reasoned with. You have people like this who come here and demand that Germans change their lifestyle for the sake of their shithole middle east culture. They were trying to get the cafeteria in my wife's school in Munich to stop serving any and all pork products altogether ,because some students were Muslims. It is getting out of hand and the citizen will start taking matters into their own hands if it continues.

They seem to be trying too but it might be too little too late. I lived in France for 6 weeks this summer and have travelled across southern Europe during that time. In France there were armed soldiers with assault rifles and full body armor all over the place. Any event of any size and at every train station and airport entrance as well as very regular intervals of searches in those areas. I've been around guns my entire life and the amount of firepower around on a regular basis was still shocking.
