Awful, terrible. My thoughts this morning are with the people of Paris, especially our French members and their families.

Utterly horrible. I feel for the French people.
And once again madness in the shape of religion rears its ugly head.

Disgusting. Jihadists and their ideology is a cancer to civilization.

Genuinely horrified by this. My thoughts go out to the citizens of Paris.
It's also upsetting to hear people say that this is a wake up call about Islamic terrorism. Really? The same thing was said about Charlie Hebdo, the Madrid subway bombers, and just about every incident going back to 911, and it feels like we just keep rolling over and going back to sleep until the next time.
And, unfortunately, there will be a next time.

Well shit, Newt Gingrich just beat the NRA to it!Newt wastes no time... •• Imagine the pandemonium that must have erupted in that Paris theater when the shooting started. The apparent assumption by the gun lobby is that having armed civilians in the audience would produce some kind of orderly response to the attack. Every unarmed individual remaining calmly in his/her seat, ducking and covering, while the Heroes took down the Bad Guys. The scenario Gingrich suggests would most likely result in more deaths, not fewer.

Hours before the attack Obama said ISIS was contained. I guess he thought those 50 guys had it under control.

Just more evidence that radical Islam is the great evil of this generation.

Radical Islam has been causing trouble since at least 711 AD. ISIS are no different from the Moors and other Islamic factions throughout history.

Yes, but more deaths would increase the percentage chance that the "bad guys" would end up dead. And as such events continue to occur, the "heroes" would get to be better and better shots, so that the number of deaths could actually DECREASE... (/sarcasm off.)
Good grief, why can't people do simple math? Or basic physics?
Guns are designed to kill.
Using guns = killing people with guns.*
So if one wants to stop killing people with guns...
*I don't count those who are trained to use guns and know when to use them - and when NOT to use them. I include the military and most police in that group.

On-Duty military and law enforcement personnel should be the only ones allowed to carry or even possess firearms. Unfortunately, in this Nation we have fostered a paranoia of Then against Us, where "Them" are precisely those individuals we have hired to protect us. "Who watches the watchmen?" is a mantra among the gun nuts.
