Eugene Robinson: France attack might have been worse here, because guns
[HOTAIR] Just to keep it in perspective, I dont think we should imagine that the conditions and the threat are exactly the same in the United States as they are in France, he said. They are different.
Good point, that. Not the same= Different. I think it was a Muppet that originally told me that, but it could have been my Mom.
In fact, one thing that is different here is weapons are universally available and so, uh, it is actually a very good thing that-- that-- that the tensions are not exactly the same because we would expect to have a lot more of that sort of carnage here.
We could expect maybe to see the turbans stretched out in pools of blood instead of their intended victims. If their victims happened to be unarmed then we might expect to see the local citizenry taking potshots at the Heroes of Islam as they were bravely making their getaways.
