From a senior European interior ministry official:
This is one channel we’re paying increasing attention to. Recommissioning them [guns] takes some skill, but we know those skills are being used.
The Wall Street Journal, “Europe Looks to Tighten Gun Laws,” 11/18/15
Europe has some of the tightest gun control laws on the planet, but even tight laws have loopholes. Many European nations allow collectors to own decommissioned firearms. Some firearms can be recommissioned. In true governmental fashion, some Europeans lawmakers are proposing to make their gun laws even more draconian to close this avenue to live firearms ownership.
Here’s a suggestion that goes the other way: instead of trying to turn the entire continent into a gun-free zone, how about a concealed carry law instead? Concealed carry laws have reduced violent crime in the US. Those bent on mass mayhem, even those who have accepted their own deaths as the inevitable result of their violence, usually attack gun free zones. Even if widespread possession of firearms under concealed carry laws did not deter all attacks like the ones in Paris last week, they might deter some, and there probably would have been fewer victims in Paris if someone under attack had been able to fire back. Europeans might regard widespread ownership of firearms as barbaric and primitive, but so is dying at the hands of Islamic nut jobs.
Best blogosphere suggestion of the day. I have conversed with some other CC individuals about the Paris concert slaughter–and we all thought the #s killed might have been less had some attendees been carrying. Certainly, there would not have been more deaths.
uh…since the whole point of gun-grab laws, here and in Europe, is to make native Whites more easily exterminable by armed ethno-invasives, I somehow doubt that the Zio-globalist PTB will be adopting Gore’s suggestion…
