Guess this would have stopped the Paris terror attacks.

Or is it really just politicians being the grave-dancing opportunists that they so often are?

When it comes to politicians, never mistake treasonous actions for mere stupidity.

I seem to remember that this was planned since before the attack, but was supposed to go up for voting sometime next year. I'm sure the terrorists will be stopped by banning semi-automatic rifles though. Not as if they're using illegally aquired AK-47s...oh.

When all you care about is controlling the plebes, disarming citizens, and don't give a damn about individual rights and want to further squash self reliance.... Then that makes those politicians pretty darn smart in proposing that law.
