Police just confirmed, after extensive examination and research, that the body found is indeed that of the missing 14 year old girl. I believe I don't want to know what was done to the body that it took forensics more than 12h to identify her. She had been missing since past thursday, when she didn't arrive at a homework meetup with her school friend.
I hope they catch the bastard / bastards fast.

Decomposition could be a factor.

But yeah, serial killers of any stripe are terrible.

After Turkey refused German ministers to enter Turkey when they tried visiting German NATO soldiers stationed there, Germany tried to reason with Turkey at the NATO conference, but to no avail.

In response, Germany has now ordered all German forces stationed at NATO bases in Turkey to return home, to be redeployed to less unfriendly NATO friends.

Terrorist hammer attack in France. If French society had had guns, someone could have shot the hammer dude. When oh when will Europe drop these foolish anti-gun laws?

The cop shot the guy. Though yes, I get what you're getting at vs guns.

Czech Republic and Estonia do allow concealed carry, for individuals with a license.

I dont think armed civilians will make them think twice about their attacks, they're fighting a war after all and will become martyrs, but having guns around could help every now and then.

Well, the hammer guy attacked armed cops. If he wanted to avoid guns, he wouldn't target cops with guns.

But well, Reelya was being sarcastic given all we know about his views.

Stop! Hammertime

Yes I don't really hear those gun lobby people after every terrorist attack that is carried out with knifes. I mean they are terrorists and terrorists always get guns.

Except for some reason more than half don't.....

The most common denominator in the recent attacks are pedestrians. If pedestrians had been banned, and everyone had carried a car, we would have seen much less casualties

In the wake of the 2015 terror attacks in Paris, France pushed the European Union to enact even tougher policies. The European Commission's initial proposal called for a complete ban on the sale of weapons like Kalashnikovs or AR-15s that are intended primarily for military use. Ammunition magazines would be limited to 20 rounds or less.

The Czech Republic came out hard against the directive.

. . .
After months of contentious negotiations, the EU passed a compromise last month; the Council of Ministers will confirm the measure this spring. All member states will have 15 months to comply with the new gun restrictions.

National sovereignty in the European Union: "fuck you in 15 months instead of immediately"

Tangential: Isn't it officially "Czechia" now? Or did I misunderstand that?

I read a couple months back (may have been last year actually, or before) that they tried to do that, but it never caught on.

They were to ban sales of and confiscate ALL semi autos, not just high capacity "military" rifles. They also tried to make all gun permits temporary(max 5 years), make magazines also need permits(currently they're basically scrapmetal and dont even have serial numbers) and even demand serial numbers and other traceable ids for every single individual cartridge sold.

Luckily none of that madness got through and the new directive is actually in general more loose than the one before, and actually allows full autos and even bazookas and such on the basis of "sports" and for reservists also.

[smjjames]

Who the heck uses bazookas for sport?
