      This isn't about guns, either. It's about what actually saves lives. Those who stopped attacks on #Thalys train and #Flight253 were unarmed.

          But even if it did, it would not be a victory. Abandoning open society for fear of terrorism is the only way to be defeated by it.

          @Snowden exactly what I'm getting at. We aren't moving forward because govt doesn't want us to, and govt wants us to worry about that.

          @Snowden if coordinated attacks at multiple venues in France could not be detected by such surveillance, wonder what good it will ever do!
