    I had an arsenal of weapons once, including a bright orange machine gun which went click click click etc when you pulled the trigger.

    Ok smartypants... "magazine."

    "Magazine" just wouldn't have had the same poetic impact as "clip" though. You say "clip", everyone gets it. You say "magazine", half get it and the other half think you're taking about "Time" or "People."

    But no, I do not carry around an M1. :)

    At first glance, my initial reaction was "Ah, another story about the UK lunatic." A double-take later and that quickly morphed into "FRANCE!? COPYCAT!? ORGANIZED!?"

    So, what do I think?

    I think I'll start carrying an extra clip.

    Am I the only one who noticed that it's 'uniformed Army personnel' patrolling and policing in civilian areas?

    It won't surprise me if the assailant fled into a 'no-go' zone for kaffirs. The "no-go" zones include police, emergency and fire personnel as well. Not a muslim? Stay the heck out. So much for that bally-hoo'd "Multiculturalism" and "Tolerance" huh?
