Thoughts on Paris - Larry Correia

I saw this blog post with some thoughts on concealed carry and terrorism and I thought it hits on some of the commentary I saw on this board within other threads. Probably safe for work, but with colorful language.

This just illustrates another phenomena I see a lot on the internet. I like to call it the Dracula riding Godzilla effect. So you’ve got a violent encounter somewhere. Immediately the anti-gun jackasses launch with but Your gun is useless when there are ten terrorists with AK-47s! or Your gun is useless when you’re suddenly attacked by a dozen ninjas in a surprise attack! Oh yeah! What if the mall is attacked by Dracula riding Godzilla! What good is your CCW then, huh?!
Got me there. But you’re not normally fighting an entire fire team of dedicated bad guys, and if you are, then see above. Speed bump. This is reduction to the absurd, where they make up unlikely hypothetical situations doomed to absolute failure. The problem there is that these situations are so ridiculous that you could take the most highly trained special operator war heroes America has ever produced, and they’d also be stepped on by Godzilla, ergo no guns for anybody.
