So now that this turned out to be a terrorist attack, does Europe also have a "violence" problem, considering there have been some high-scale bombings and shootings by terrorists lately?

Of course the thread is predictable as ever. Europeans who have never lived here or been here lecturing us on our homicide rates without considering the causing effects(war on drugs) and distribution (inner city ghettos.)

The guy had higly illegal explosives strapped to himself. What kind of gun control would help? How did gun control help in Paris?

In case of terrorist attacks, gun control is near useless.

But in any other case of mass shooting in the US, we have every right to lecture you. The problem in many cases of mass shootings in the US is that kids and teens can nearly pick a gun off a kitchen counter. If people who are unstable or radicalizing (in any way, shape or form) can get a gun this easily, you're asking for trouble.

You can't lecture anyone if you're ignorant of the socio-political issues that put people into the position to attack each-other with guns. Most of these "mass shootings" are gang-warfare caused by the failed war on drugs - something Europe doesn't have at the extent nor scale that the U.S has.
