Let's raise the minimum age to purchase a gun to 45! That'll show'em! Is it any surprises that this mentally ill teacher happens to be a Leftwing anti-gun activist?
Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Fully automatic military rifles are...and they are the preferred weapon of French criminals...
French gunman's arsenal spotlights illegal arms trade
As France asks itself whether it could have done more to prevent Islamist gunman Mohamed Merah shooting dead seven people in a killing spree that shook the nation, there is one question that refuses to go away: how did he obtain so many guns.
The size and nature of the arsenal amassed by Merah - who stockpiled at least eight guns including a Kalashnikov assault rifle and an Uzi machine pistol - has focused attention on the easy availability of illegal weapons in France and their growing use in ultra-violent crimes.
As an angry online reader of the daily Le Figaro newspaper put it: "How was he able to buy all these guns, like one buys yoghurts, when he was under the surveillance of the DCRI (the French intelligence agency)?"
====================
Paris attacks highlight France's gun control problems
But in recent years a black market has proliferated. The number of illegal weapons has risen at a rapid rate – double-digit percentages – for several years, according to the National Observatory for Delinquency, a body created in 2003.
“In Marseille and the surrounding area almost all the score settling is carried out using weapons used in wars,” a police spokesman told Reuters after the Toulouse attacks, adding that Kalashnikovs were the weapon of choice: “If you don’t have a ‘Kalash’ you’re a bit of a loser.”
============================
Paris attacks highlight France's gun control problems
The arsenal of weapons deployed by the eight attackers who terrorised Paris on Friday night underlined France’s gun control problems and raised the spectre of further attacks.
The country has extremely strict weapons laws, but Europe’s open borders and growing trade in illegal weapons means assault rifles are relatively easy to come by on the black market.
More and More I am leaning towards a law that prevent progressives from owning guns. Not that they'll follow it of course, but the left wing is the violent side of this argument.

I was going to rank your thread as informative, but somehow I knew that was the case as soon as I heard the story.
Leftist parasites are the greatest danger human civilization is faced with.
Nuclear war?
A pandemic?
A coronal mass ejection?
Leftists governing a disarmed American public?

Expanding your horizons, maybe? Being informed in an argument?

And when did that happen, two years ago? How many mass shootings have we had in the US since then? Parkland, Las Vegas, come to mind immediately.
We had 307 mass shootings in 2017 alone.
2017 is the deadliest year for mass killings in at least a decade
France has one incident from a highly organized terror group.

Dear JoeB131
I don't think the UK has the same problems
and threats America does with drug and gang
wars across our border states and spilling into our cities.
We would need a lot more police and military on constant
duty to offset and deter this armed criminal threat from
affecting more of our population.
The real problem we are not addressing is
criminal illness, abuse and screening.
Especially if our liberal policies allow open borders
and rampant drug abuse and addiction, we are opening
the doors of opportunity and inviting more criminal activity.
So we'd have to start by deterring and detecting criminal
problems in advance, reducing that threat, if we want
to reduce the dependence on arms for security and defense.
There are plenty of Christians who have been advocating
for Christian education, leaders and govt all enforcing standard values
against abuse and addiction. But it's the liberals who want free choice
to let people learn and choose by their own experience and consequences.
So these are the consequences.
If people choose not to get help to stop abuse and addiction,
then this ends up with people into drugs and crime to
support their addictions.
If liberals want to spend less on prisons, punishment
and police and military, and save more resources to pay
for health care and education, then maybe it might be wise
to listen and invest in solutions proven effective by Christians
in rehab and cure for drug addictions and criminal disorders.
But it is contradictory and self-defeating for liberals to
reject Christian solutions to prevent problems of abuse
crime and violence, then yell about wanting less gun
violence and more health care. What if the solutions
actually come from the very camps that liberals have
been most strongly opposing and censoring?
If we want solutions, we should prepare ourselves
to receive and work with diverse sources including
the very people who are getting blamed when in fact
these groups may have the very solutions we need!

Um, no, got to cut you off right here.
Our problem is that we don't treat drug addiction like a medical issue, we treat it like a criminal issue because lots of people are making a lot of money locking people up.
If guns and jails made us safer, we'd be the safest country in the industrialized world, not the most dangerous.

Well, because the Europeans have progressed passed us.
Let's give America credit.. up until 1945, we were the most progressive country in the world. And then we got stuck, while the rest of the world became more progressive, freer and more decent.
But the issue here is, when confronted by a problem, look at what other countries have done, and then evaluate whether or not it would work here better than what we are doing now.
When you start out with the premise of gun ownership as a privilege rather than a right, you can be selective as to who gets one. Not guys like Cruz and Cho and Lanza and Loughner and Holmes.
