I am glad he got arrested. I hope that stopped a terrorist attack and prevented some deaths or injury to other people. :thumbs2:
Hopefully they will quickly arrest his alleged accomplice.

But it's impossible to have a gun in France. It's a GUN FREE ZONE! Didn't that guy read the sign?

I'm wondering what type of "automatic" pistol he had? Plus you can't get guns in France without proper permits, how could this happen? They passed laws that will prevent this type of thing from happening. What is the matter with people don't they know it's against the law?? :nono:

I know what you're saying but contrary to leftist myths, Europe is awash in illegal guns.
an estimated 84 million firearms are legally held in the 15 member states of the EU. Of these, 80 per cent - 67 million guns - are in civilian hands

- Gun laws are tightest in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Poland

- In per capita terms, Germans buy almost as many firearms as Americans

- France has more lawfully held handguns than the Czech Republic, Denmark, England and Wales, Poland, Scotland, and Sweden combined

- Across Europe, officials agree that illegal guns greatly outnumber known legal firearms

That may be true of Europe, but if we ban guns in the US, they will all get turned in and there will be none in circulation.

The female companion has been arrested.
The female partner of the man arrested at Disneyland Paris carrying two handguns, ammunition, and a 'guide to the Koran' has been found.
She was arrested in the Paris home which she reportedly shared with the 28-year-old man, after fleeing the scene yesterday, local media reports.
Two semi-automatic handguns and a knife were detected when the luggage was put through an X-ray machine at the entrance to a hotel, 20 miles east of the French capital.

A judicial police source said: 'Following questioning, the man made it clear that he had the guns with him for personal protection. The enquiry is ongoing, but it is not a terrorist enquiry.

So the police don't think it could be a possible terrorist attack because the guy they arrested said the guns were for personal protection? :banghead:

???? Also why would your wife/girlfriend/co-conspirator run away if they were just personal protection guns?? I'm beginning to see part of the problem if you say your not a terrorist they take you at your word.
