If the criminals who ignore the gun control laws didn't know their prey would be unarmed would they have the confidence to act ?A few armed men (or women) in Paris might have made a big difference in the outcome, don't you think? How do armed honest citizens NOT make a difference? Sorry for the rant, but hellfire! It's not rocket science! If you have a criminal with a gun shooting up the place, don't you want a good guy with a gun to be around to well place a few bullets? What could be wrong with that?
