So more guns is your solution?
Guns + training + awareness = an overall look and feel of "this is the last MFer you want to mess with".
imagine these ISIS dudes ran into armed people with that attitude the moment they entered the country. And everyone at their hotel was cognizant and eyeball fcking them and armed and calling them in for looking shady. Then the people they saw in traffic were all armed and vigilant. Then the people at the gates to the concert were the same way. I bet a lot fewer than 120 get killed at that concert.
and maybe, just maybe, the bad guys just decide to pick on another country. You don't see bad guys trying this shit at VFW meetings or Garth Brooks concerts... they'd be hit with a .45 from a hiding spot in a boot before they know it.
French people look weak. In the US, people are already watching arabs the moment they walk into a place. I've seen it at redneck walmarts down here - these good ol' boys just looking to issue a comment and get into it with every "muhammad" they see. They're looking for a fight. they HATE brown people. They do.
so yes, arm the frenchies, train them. Do it with all these nations.
