Gun control in Europe is almost total. Hasn't stopped mass shooting attacks like Las Vegas

Within hours of the horrible attack in Las Vegas, before we knew most of the relevant facts about the tragedy, gun control advocates were calling for more gun control. Here is something I would like those advocates to consider: Europe, which has all the gun controls that are being pushed in the aftermath of the Las Vegas carnage, has actually suffered more bloodshed from these types of attacks than the U.S.
You heard that right: Countries such as France may have made all semi-automatic guns illegal, but that hasn’t stopped killers from getting fully automatic machine guns to use in mass shooting attacks. All four of the 2015 mass public shooting in France involved machine guns, including the 130 people killed in November of that year in multiple attacks including one at a concert venue.
In the 1970s, 80s and 90s, Europe saw machine gun attacks in airports and nightclubs by groups such as Black September and the Red Army Faction. In fact, machine guns are commonly used in mass shootings in the rest of the world.

Ask the Euro progs what happened the last time they gave up their guns?

And has only emboldened them into using bombs and trucks. #Progress! #Forward!

The thing people aren't really talking about is the false idea that libs will be satisfied with banning semi's or high capacity magazines. If you give them that (like full auto), they will come back for your fricking wheel guns and mossbergs the first time some a-hole blows away his baby momma with lead shot.
The issue is the left's dishonesty on guns control. They keep saying they aren't for confiscation, but anyone with a pulse can see its the end game -- not unlike single payor in Healthcare or a number of other extreme leftist positions that they lie about.

Did the rate go down after the laws were passed?
How many do they have compared to us?

Correct.
AK47s are illegal in France, UK, etc...
Terrorist get them easily.

Why does anyone think that banning or confiscating guns will fix any of these issues? Just look at how well making certain drugs illegal has worked out.
There is no truer saying than "if guns are outlawed then only outlaws will have guns"

I bslieve in the second amendment and all, but strictly going by mass shootings is cherry picking data.
Why not compare total homicides and gun deaths per capita?

meanwhile in America, we had 371 in 2015, 477 in 2016, and 340 so far in 2017. LINK

Let's face it, most of Europe is populated by the off spring guillotine and Inquisition fodder, bubonic plague, and all sorts of upper-class inbreeding.
Not exactly the population sample that one would pick from when engaged in a game of survival...

Exactly not like bad guys and terrorist follow gun laws.

Wrong
While shootings do happen in other countries...the sheer frequency of them is the problem in the United States.
Nice try though.

Now they are defenseless to stop the hoards that are invading their homeland. Disarm them and then send in the invasion. Sounds like a plan.

Completely irrelevant given the porous nature of European borders. I mean they have no control over who brings what into their country.
oh wait, sounds like the US.
