1. I'm betting your stats are filled with stuff that doesn't really fit the profile (like suicide)
.
The profile I said was death. Whtehr suicide or homicide or accident, deads dead.
And hionestly are you to lazt to click oin a kink and read? Or is that just your aversion to evidence?

2. I'm guessing the per capita terrorist homicide rate is much higher in France this year than the US
.
Are the people who were mowed down in a Colorado movie theater as dead as the people mowed down in Paris?

3. Had the Parisians been armed, I doubt so many of them would have been murdered.
Maybe. But there are plenty of cases where mass shootings ocurred in the US and all the guns that people carry around didn't help did they.
What we do know is that over 30,000 Americans will die from guns this year. And even with this atrocity only about 2,000 French.

4. The problem is radical Islam, not guns. If all guns were banned, they would still commit murder . . . review Paris.
The problem is crazies with guns. Or just people with impulse control with guns.
Review the history and th facts in the US...

Here's the thing: Democrats are always trying to find ways to short-circuit the 2nd Amendment
There have been no changes to federal gun laws since 2008.
When republicans and the NRA refuse to even keep those on a terror watch list, they are saying they don't care about actually protecting citizens.

Actually, alarms do work: burglars rarely hit homes with alarm
s
This is true. Look at the actual statistical evidence and homes with alarms have fewer break ins per capita.
Why is it that this argument doesn't carry the same weight for you with gun ownership. Because its exactly the same argument.
