When a guy just ran over a bunch of pedestrians and he comes out of the vehicle holding what looks like 2 weapons I don't think anyone from any political background would say that the police need to take their time and make sure it's not paintball and an airsoft.
At least I hope no one would say that.
That would just be... wow.

Yeah and he started his plan two years ago because that's how long it takes to get a visa out of the middle east.
Why don't you just let the story develope before bringing in politics and what ifs. God always looking for a fight...

Oh, I know you were. I'm just fearful of some of the ridiculous comments that I know are going to be coming from armchair quarterbacks.
Really, until one has had a gun pointed at them it's a totally different world.

More guns are absolutely the answer. If you see a vehicle driving at you aggressively (and have a reasonable belief they intend to cause you severe bodily harm or death), you have every right to use your firearm to preventatively stop the driver & save your life and others.
More guns are generally the answer. Less guns is absolutely not the answer, especially given the frequency in which terrorists use vehicles and explosives (or acids, knives, etc) in locations where guns are banned or hard to acquire.
History and current events have shown us that terrorists and criminals will always find some kind of weapon to use against the innocent to take their lives. It just so happens that a firearm is (by design) the best weapon for accomplishing these goals, which is why it is so important that Citizens be armed with these firearms - because they are the most effective way to neutralize a deadly threat. When going up against a criminal/terrorist who is using a gun/car/knife/bomb/acid, it is always best to have the most appropriate weapon for the job - one that will accomplish your goal of stopping the threat as quickly as possible in order to preserve your life and the lives of others.

Lol you Americans will do anything to justify your out dated gun laws (you only need to read the Las Vegas shooting thread to understand that even the most outlandish theories are better than accepting a much simpler problem.) Only cowards carry weapons to a fight.
