Washington Post columnist and MSNBC analyst Eugene Robinson argued that if attacks like the Charlie Hebdo attacks in France happened in the US “we would expect to have a lot more of that sort of carnage” because “weapons are universally available” on Friday’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” on MSNBC.
“Just to keep it in perspective, I don’t think we should imagine that the conditions and the threat are exactly the same in the United States as they are in France, they are different. In fact, one thing that’s different here is weapons are universally available and so it is actually a very good thing that the tensions are not exactly the same because we would expect to have a lot more of that sort of carnage here.”
