Versus your emotions? Please share data on handgun owners thwarting terrorists attacks.

Yes, but a couple of smart ones with well placed shots could save a few lives and I'm all for that.

sorry to call you out on your anti gun stance. I neither agreed nor disagreed with your statement. I simply asked you to support your assertion. Can't do that can you? I'll take my chances with an armed populace over unarmed citizens with no means to even hinder a gunman, let alone stop him

You are. Your comprehension skills are unfortunate.

leave them out of it.

It has to do with moronic actions by moronic people.

I haven't met a conservative that wasn't a dumb frick. I'd say they both have the niche for stupidity.

It's because Americans in general, people in general, are becoming increasingly stupid.

People who think armed civilians would stop terrorists fail to understand the whole concept of (modern) terrorism.

The concept of attacking soft targets where there is a low probability of being stopped by an armed citizen?

Like someone in a suicide vest at a ticket gate? Do you keep your hand on the trigger at all times while in public, ready to shoot a suspected suicide vest detonator?

Then why do mass shooters and terrorists pick gun free zones? Why don't they find a Hells Angels chapter?

While you wait for Big Gov to save the day, people that aren't cowards are going to try and protect themselves. It doesn't make them idiots. It makes them realists, and a lot less naive than you are.

Well there was one suicide bomber which blew up during a raid. Those details are still pretty sketchy. May have not have been a suicide vest. The rest of the recent attacks aside from the Boston Bombing have been terrorists attacking a place with a large number potential victims and virtually zero chance any of those potential victims are armed.

You should probably hang out with a better class of people.

Mattz I suffer no delusion that an armed citizen can "stop" a terrorist attack. But I do think an armed citizenry can collectively blunt the negative effects of certain terrorist attacks. I haven't scene too many terrorists attacking armed targets with AKs as in Paris- where everyone was unarmed.

Probably couldn't have stopped that guy, but def. could have stopped the ones shooting up a cafe.

Oh, so they're actively picking gun-free zones?

It just so happens that all of Europe is attached by land to the Middle East with tons of immigrants who haven't assimilated.
