Yep...one brave guy caught up to the truck on a little motor bike...got up on the running board...and hit the attacker...but did little....had he had a pistol......lives would have been saved because he could have shot the driver and stopped the killing.....
Heroes of the Nice Truck Attack: Proof that Gun Control Costs Lives? [Video NSFW] - The Truth About Guns
A worker at the Nice airport, Franck, who was on a motor scooter, decided in a split second to chase the truck and when he caught up, rammed it — to no avail — and was knocked off. He got up and ran after the truck, managed to climb onto the running boards and began hitting the driver through the open window. As the driver, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, tried to shoot Franck his gun failed and at the same time, Franck tried to open the door of the truck, then tried climbing through the window, but the driver struck him on the head with the gun and he fell, breaking a rib and badly bruising his back.
Franck said he was satisfied that when the driver was fighting with him, he was not running over more people. “He was concentrating on me; in that moment he could not kill people,” he said.
At least two other men made similar, if less prolonged, efforts and also received medals from the City of Nice: Alexander Migues pursued the truck on a bicycle, and Gwenaël Leriche, a 26-year-old deliveryman, ran after the truck armed with nothing but a penknife and tried to jump onto the running boards as the truck came to a halt.
If any of these “average Jaques” heroes had been armed with a gun, a lot fewer than 86 people might have been killed. What more needs saying about the folly of gun control in general and French gun laws in particular? Or the wisdom of carrying a firearm for self-defense and defense of all innocent life?
