Over 100 injured, over 80 dead in France attack

Wait what? Isn't that exactly what is being done and is making "the crazies" go out and kill people?

As I said, the only thing they understand is fear. They are doing this because they fear the afterlife itself so much that they have to form an entire cult around making it a tolerable transition. They fear people outside their own religion so much that the only option remaining to them in their eyes is to kill or convert every person in the world so nobody is different from them. We have given them every opportunity to magically become rational beings, it's many centuries or hell, millennia, past time to stop treating them with kiddie gloves and force them to enter modern society, religious freedoms only go so far, if your religion is based on living in the stone age at a psychological level and you are so violently opposed to anyone outside of your group to the extent that you kill anyone who isn't in it, you are not worth anything to the world. If they were just a normal cult and not an established religion this would not have gone on anywhere near as long as it has; humans for some reason deify organized religion itself instead of the basic tenants of those religions like being a decent person.

To be fair, many people have not been calling for a complete ban but simply requiring a licence, tests etc. before being able to obtain a gun.

Except in America those are all already things outside of a few loopholes like gun shows. The real problem is that the government does not enforce the pretty detailed rulesets we already have laid down in the law, and only the people who abide by the law actually do those things because at this point many of the "required" steps are treated as both voluntary and optional, with very few incentives for actually doing them. If the government just lays down new laws without following the old ones then doesn't follow those either, it will just make everyone see them as even more of a joke than they already are on that front.
