The terrorist attack in Strasbourg, France, on Tuesday, doesn’t look too bad on paper. Two people were killed, one victim severely brain-injured, and six seriously wounded. But the attack is more serious than it appears.

First off, the suspect, Cherif Chekatt had access to a semi-automatic weapon. According to Le Monde, grenades were also found in Chekatt’s apartment. Finding out how Chekatt accessed these weapons will be a top priority for authorities. While firearms are far easier to access in France than in Britain, for example, it should not have been easy for someone on terrorist watchlists, like Chekatt, to access the type of weapons he did.
