In the aftermath of the Paris attack, we've had Republicans try to tie French gun control to the scale of the terrorist attack in Paris. The logic is, if the terrorists/bad guys can get their hands on a weapon, so should everyone in the general public. It's the old line, a bad guy with a gun, something something good guy with a gun.
There's also a strain in 2nd Amendment absolutism today that says that the 2nd Amendment protects all weapons, not just firearms. So, under that theory, the government can ban any type of weapon from public ownership and sale.
Since it has been revealed that every Paris terrorist had an explosive suicide vest, does that raise the same argument from Republicans? Do you think people should be able to go to the gun shop and guy a suicide vest? If not, why? And, do you differ on the ownership of AK-47s?
The point is that people should be able to defend themselves. Not sure how you missed that.
