From the “Eagles of Death Metal” Band’s Frontman

Gun control kind of doesn’t have anything to with it, but if you want to bring it up, I’ll ask you did your French gun control stop a single f*****g person from dying at the Bataclan? And if anyone can answer yes, I’d like to hear it, because I don’t think so. I think the only thing that stopped it was some of the bravest men that I’ve ever seen in my life charging head-first into the face of death with their firearms. Maybe, I know people will disagree with me, but it just seems like God made men and women, and that night guns made them equal. I hate it that it’s that way. I think the only way that my mind has been changed is that maybe that until nobody has guns everybody has to have them because I don’t want to see anything like this happen again. And I want everyone to have the best chance to live. And I saw people die that maybe could have live. I don’t know, but I wish they had a better chance because there were some real angels, some really wonderful people that aren’t alive today.

    Hi John

    In your public appearances you may want to mention the different outcomes between the St James Church Massacre (South Africa 1993) where only one person shot back and that of the Bataclan.

    Reason for the comparison is that they are really similar. 4 terrorists attacking a closed space. About 1500 in the Bataclan and 1000 in St James Church. The missions were to kill as many as possible as fast as possible for the greatest political statement possible.

    By my rough maths, there’s a 90% difference in casualty rates – but your maths is a lot better than mine!!
