The WaPo author quoted National Review’s Jim Geraghty, who “pondered how the event [attack at the Charlie Hebdo office] would go down in the United States, where more gun ownership could have prompted an ‘armed response from ordinary citizens.'” That’s apparently a radical notion to those who are for an unarmed populace.

Love it when libs answer a @jimgeraghty point with "the evidence from the United States is far from clear" & a link to Mother Jones. #deep

@jimgeraghty: WIth that sort of deep thinking, I'm surprised the people involved in that story don't work for Vox.
