Dozens of people have been killed and many more were injured after a truck plowed into a crowd in Nice, France during Bastille Day celebrations.
The local police prefect has confirmed that least 30 people were dead and over 100 were injured in the crash, Reuters reported, citing BFM TV.
Sebastien Humbert, the perfect for the Alpes-Maritime area, detailed the circumstances of the crash, explaining the high number of casualties to BFM.
"A truck rammed into the crowd over a long distance, which explains this extremely heavy toll," he said.
BFM also said that authorities have classified the the incident as an “attack.”
“ There are people in blood, probably full of wounded, ” a reporter for the Nice Matin newspaper said.
According to an eyewitness report cited by BFM, the driver of the truck shouted,
“Allahu Akbar!” before the attack.""

I demand the Democrats have a sit in Congress until we get some kind of legislation on banning Big Trucks in this country!Noone should have access to these big trucks that can run over so many people at a time. #NoBigTrucks

big trucks are used for transport and built for transport, not for maiming and/or killing'
anything can be used as a weapon but some thing are created to BE a weapon,, big difference
Not according to ISIS who published an article on how to use an F150 like a lawn mower and run over people. They don't think it is used for transport

But knives were originally(and still are)made to BE weapons and kill over 1800 people a year. So should we ban all knives, even the ones in your kitchen?
Whether it is a gun, knife, pressure cooker, box cutter or anything else, INTENT is the "weapon".
so if I intend to kill someone with a toothpick, let alone a room full of people,, do you think my chance of success is as likely as using a gun and bullets?
I like how you keep watering down your argument

Your argument was about things meant to BE weapons. If you were in a room with a knife you could kill quite a few if not all if the others didn't have a "weapon" too.
In self-defense classes you learn to use any object (pens,scissors etc) as a weapon.
If you were skilled enough with a toothpick and could puncture the jugular vein, I guess you could also kill people that way
