What do gun laws have to do with a fucking tragedy caused by terrorism?
Did gun control get so damm engraved in your current generations that somehow you don't need a way to defend yourself?
Sheesh no wonder my grandparents decided to never go back to Europe after world war two.
Because someone compared terrorism to mass shootings and said they are essentially the same thing... when they are not.
Mass shootings are caused by lax gun control where mentally unstable individuals get access to guns and decide to go out with a bang taking some more successful people with them.
Terrorism is doing something with a planned impact on religion, culture or politics and having loads of guns strewn around just makes those easier to pull off.
Not to say that arming your citizens to the teeth has no merits like that texan debacle with Mohammad drawing on exposition attracting 2 armed muslims wanting to shoot the place up but ended up with more then they can chew from the armed texan observers.
In the end 1 security guard was wounded and both attackers lost their lives.
Obviously an attack like that would have a higher bodycount in the EU... but chances are that attack wouldn't even happen because getting guns is that much harder.
Why is Europe so retarded
I can't even
It's a mix of an overall better organized police that's not worthless unless and not being a place where there are more guns than citizens.
Meaning that not every lowlife thug can buy or steal a second hand gun.
So far it works pretty well. The EU population would be armed if people didn't feel safe and clamored for access to guns but the way things are most people simply do not feel the need.
On the other side of the spectrum you have the US where most people are armed and see owning a personal firearm as common sense despite most of them don't really see any practical lifesaving/taking use because even the US is not a post apocalyptic wasteland filled with bandits, raiders and feral ghouls (drug junkies).
