SoiBiker Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I was curious about who the US band was playing in Paris. Was death metal or is that a guess? They're called "The Eagles of Death Metal", but the name is more of a joke. They're more in a kind of 'Garage Rock' vein - a spin off from the more well-known Queens of the Stone Age.

williamgeorgeallen Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I am a big fan of trump but I am disappointed with this statement. flooding the European tinderbox with firearms can only be a bad idea. maybe he was just saying it to appeal to his American voters.

slipperylobster Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Everyone being armed is quite obviously the way to go, a country where there is a mass-shooing almost everyday of the year is obviously the model to follow. Good thinking...If this were to happen ina bar in Plainville Kansas, Those IS fellas wouldn't have made it through the door. If every country would just get over their pathetic "lamb like" acceptance of being victims and grow a pair. Grab a gun...because it is obvious that the police (and military) are unable to protect your family. What makes you think that a righteous citizen has any less intelligence/gun savvy...than a newly trained police officer or military recruit. There are plenty of us that know how to handle firearms. You are referring to "criminals" I suppose. This is getting quite serious now...and I would definitely stock weapons to protect my family, providing the law allows for it. Time for some of these "peaceful, liberal, tolerant" countries to start defending themselves. It might really come down to this.

Secondly, when is the last time an armed thug entered your house with the intent of robbing you and killing your family?

When you finally decide that your luck has run out...you will not have time to acquire protection. You buy insurance for your car don't you? So why not buy insurance for your loved ones? get armed !!! If we could only talk to the victims...who did not survive....or saw their friends and family slaughtered in front of them..

I cannot get my head around such illogical thinking. No European country would want to follow the example of the US. But I do see the terrorist have you scared as well. They are succeeding and the cowards among us are the main reason... Trump isn't right and should not use these attacks to push his own agenda. Where I come from that is considered very inappropriate and inconsiderate. Or to use the words of another poster, he should know when to speak and when to shut up. The fact that he doesn't speaks volumes. Edited November 15, 2015 by sjaak327 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things would have been different if USA and Europe didn t stick their nose in middle east for 30 years.

Yup, far more innocent civilians in the USA have been murdered at the hands of gunmen than all that ISIS and Al Quaeda have been able to throw at Western infidels, the difference being that we don't call them "terrorists". Not a terrorist? Oh, that's ok then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To arm everyone so as to be ready for any attack, means everybody should be carrying all the time, otherwise the argument is pointless. No weapon that was properly locked up would have saved anybody in Paris....or any of the other mass shootings.. If everybody was constantly strapped, there would be carnage every day. Back to the wild west days where a pub brawl means a mass shooting, where a Walmart customer gets disgruntled that her triple-size slurpy spilled and shoots someone, whereas if she wasn't carrying, she would have mouthed off and gone home to change her lycra body suit two sizes too small for her. Absolute carnage every day in every city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazes Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 One thing's for absolute sure: at no time in history have weapons, of any kind, been able to defeat an ideology. The Spanish Inquisition did nothing to stop free thinking. Some tosser who shouts "God be praised" just before blowing himself and hundreds up cannot be (could not have been ) stopped by ammunition.

I see someone shooting and another shooting back, which one do I shoot? While I am deciding that maybe someone spots me and pumps a few rounds into me thinking I'm the terrorist. Police turn up and bullets flying everywhere, who are the good guys and the bad guys. If I was carrying I'd be a lot more likely to get hit by friendly fire. Crazy of Trump to be saying that. And very poor form to use the tragedy for political gain. Very low of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
