Not first time it has been done with a vehicle.
In the same time, we have extreme strict gun laws to carry self defense firearm in Europe. Impossible or almost impossible to get CCW permit in Euro countries.

And they are using vehicles for such acts.
This was in 2016.

Sadly, I remember that attack, and a couple of others involving a box delivery truck, bus, van, seems there was also a semi truck and trailer(?) used.

Just proves what I and a lot of others have stated, guns are not the problem. Banning guns will only result in more devastating ways idiots will kill law bidding citizens. Criminals and terrorists don't care about gun laws and bans leaving defenseless law bidding citizens to be there victims as law enforcement fear and cater to criminals, and can only intimidate law bidding citizens.

There are some (but rare) positive examples:
Checz republic has approved the right to use arms to defend oneself and others in their CONSTITUTION:
This is so far the first, and only such example in EU to my knowledge.

The right to bear arms in self-defense is embedded in the Czech constitution

The Senate, the upper house of Czech parliament, has approved the right to use arms to defend oneself and others.

I visited with the CZ folks when I was in Czechia. They explained the it was written into their constitution so that it could not be overruled by the EU. I hope more EU countries follow suit!

The Government “shut down” is delayed until March 14th. Trump muscles through a very skinny bill with funding for FEMA. This shows these bills can get through without thousands of pork spending projects thrown in to buy votes.

This is a big win. It gives Trump a little breathing room for his first 60 days agenda. Also he should have more negotiating power with both chambers.

Biden is planning to sign Trumps bill today. Pretty disturbing that our current president is so checked out that Trump had to push from outside the walls to avoid a shutdown during Bidens term. But Trump needs the docket clear to get things done in January, so had no choice but to help Biden.
