I think that is irrelevant. The united states certainty has its demons, we are waking up to the need for gun control. I don't see France waking up.

err, good luck with that (im honest), but that's not the subject.
waking up about what ? terrorism ? we're fighting terrorism. If you have a good idea, let's hear it, hoping you're not gonna go into the "nuke the middle east" or "deport all muslims" way, because i already said what i thought about it.
The guy that drove that truck: he was not known from any anti-terrorist agency, had only a minor issue with justice (a fight on the road where he threw some wood panel at a guy it seems), neighbours saying he didnt even follow ramadam til the end and was enjoying salsa dancing ! He rented a truck 2 days prior saying he needed it to move houses.. which was actually coherent since he was divorcing (heard reports of him apparently beating his wife, but still a rumor yet to be confirmed). Isis didnt claim anything (which is weird since they would claim pretty much anything happening), and no jihadist propaganda was found on him.. (apparently phones are still searched and wife is being interrogated)
Also security was super high since france is still on "etat d'urgence" (state of emergency), had dozens of police/military there, conducting routine checks.. euro just ended and tour de france was still going on, so security was high.
Now tell me. What do you do to stop that guy to drive a truck in a crowd ?
That said, i think it's a bit early to say anything about that. There's probably gonna be an investigation to know if anyone did something wrong that permitted that to happen. But honestly, i don't think so. Just like you dont imagine someone flying boeings into WTC (at the time at least), i don't think anyone could have said "hey they might use a truck and drive through a crowd"
Totally unrelated: Army is trying to make a coup in Turkey, let"s hope that Erdogan is going for good.
