Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- Trucks again! Spain this time!
Details the recent bloody terrorist attack in Barcelona, Spain are still coming in.
Multiple deaths and injuries.
The truck(s) involved drove into, and over, unsuspecting pedestrians for quite some distance before stopping.
Like Ouagadougou, in Burkina Faso, west Africa, Barcelona was selected by terrorists as a target, because it is a popular tourist destination. Tourists arrive in Barcelona from all over Europe, the UK, Russia, China, and the USA.
However, unlike Burkina Faso, Barcelona is part of Western Europe, so this incident is not being smugly ignored by the media, as was the Islamic terrorist attack in Ouagadougou earlier this week!
Rapidly-moving trucks are nearly impossible to stop, as I editorialized in my Quip of May, talking about similar truck attacks on pedestrians in Nice, France in July of 2106, and in Stockholm, Sweden in April of this year.
No explosives, nor gunfire, nor skilled marksmanship are required! All that is needed are suicidal jihadists, and they’re flooding into Europe, all with the blessing of cynical leftists governments!
And, such truck attacks are essentially unpreventable. After yet another “success” in this event, we’ll doubtless see more!
Advice to the rest of us, here and there:
1) Don’t travel offshore, particularly to “popular tourist destinations!”
2) Stay away from crowds.
3) Stay alert
4) Always be prepared to move, quickly!
5) Go armed
Terrorists are on a roll! They will never stop, nor relent, nor display any species of mercy. Western Civilization has still not found a way to deal with them effectively, and may never.
You’re on your own!

I will add one more piece of advice to add to JF’s list. Perhaps it should be #1.
– Always walk FACING the traffic flow. This way you have a much better chance of seeing them coming at you unless they swerve across the road. Facing traffic will greatly enhance your chances of not being run down either by intent or mishap.
It’s time to ban trucks and cars like they did guns.
Those high capacity assault trucks with no background checks needed. People can just go RENT them from numerous places creating dangerous loopholes in the registration of said vehicles. About time someone addressed this problem though pointless legislation that only hurts law abiding people. Lefties are slipping.
Or steal them.
Maybe we will have to pass new laws about safe storage, additional locks, and penalties for leaving them accessible to those of evil intent.
@M What no National Instant Check? No Bureao de Automoviles, Truckes, Fuel, and Engine size? No permiso para transfer ownership? This is an outrage! Barcelona has failed its duty to control commerce!
White Truck Supremacy?
