And? Are you saying that they would still have been taken hostage and executed?
-
I was under the impression that the bombs did most of the damage
-
Do you think it's a movie? Bombs were only used as a fear tactic, over 1,000 were taken hostage.
-
In fairness I don't know how it went down, and an armed audience probably would have slowed them down, but then they wouldn't have done as they did should that have been the case so it's difficult to draw direct comparison.
-
It likely wouldn't have happened at all of they new people were armed.
-
Not in this manner, no. That's not to say they wouldn't have hatched a different plot, but beyond that it's pure speculation.
-
There would be no plot but to directly attack which is not how Guerrila fighters like ISIS operate.
-
As American terror attacks prove, an armed populace does not act as ultimate deterrent.

-
There would exist similar places in an armed Paris so the song remains the same
-
There shouldn't be places like that. I never said France should be like the US is right now
-
There is never going to be a society where all men are armed 24/7, that just isn't practical or realistic. And even then, certain attacks, like those done in stealth, can't really be averted by firearms until it's too late.
-
And the point is ISIS doesn't work like that, if even 1/8 of the populous was armed this wouldn't have happened at this severity
-
ISIS don't have a particular tactic as, as far as their foreign operations go, they are not a singular entity. In Iraq and Syria they're a conventional army, elsewhere, they're whatever they need to be.
-
They're Guerrila fighters.
-
Guerrilla fighters tend not to use tanks and heavy weapons as ISIS employ. They fight (and often beat) the Iraqi military by conventional means.
-
I'm speaking of in foreign affairs.
-
Terrorism and guerrilla warfare are two very different things
