Awful.
Interesting.
Elderly people were killed. Easy victims. Perhaps because only elderly people go to church to pray in the middle of the week/middle of the day?
I note the terrorist was once again stopped from killing more people by guys with guns (as was the guy in Avignon), but tant pis for the initial wave of victims.
The attacker in Nice was arrested by the Municipal Police.
Each city in France can decide if they want to arm their police forces, half of them are not armed I believe.
In Nice they have guns and pretty much the same gear the National Police uses as the Mayor there is pro-gun.
In Paris the mayor only allowed them to carry batons ...
In Nice they had .38 special revolver for years, after the truck attack a few years ago they switched to semi-auto 9mm pistols.
A local police force near where I live just bought some CZ P-10 pistols.
I think for years they were not allowed to use "military caliber weapons" and no semit-auto stuff, so no 9mm.
They must have changed the law recently as more agencies are getting 9mm pistols.
