Do some Parisians wish they had a gun now?

...given that things aren't improving since the first riots broke out?....living here in the USA, one can only wonder......
 
Don't know, but my non-political wife, a woman that doesn't pay much attention to the news, said,"couldn't happen to a better country."
 
I don't know, but I understood from a friend who visited France that gun laws there were liberal.

Does anyone here really know what the laws are there?
 
I was stationed there for 31 months...

The largest "caliber" allowed the public was a .32.

But, that was 40 years ago... :D
 
I imagine that most French citizens just wish they had some political leaders with brass ones. Chirac dertainly doesn't fill the bill.
 
The gun laws were changed when the socialists came to power about 10 years ago. Can't forget a legislator in France that stated at the time "only the state should have the ability to use force". All guns in private hands were seized and destroyed, even .32's. I am with Gary H's wife, could not happen to a better country. The entire country and the UN have apparently threatened anyone that uses the "M" word about who is doing the damage. You can't deal with a problem when the powers that be forbid the naming of the source of the problem, so this is going to go on for some time...

Just noted in the news that five French cops are in Hospital after being hit with a shotgun blast. Seems like they didn't get them all huh? Also a news account reported that someone whose car was stolen got info it was in one of the Muslim neighborhoods and called the police, "We don't operate in that area" was the cop’s response. This in 21'st Century Europe. It’s going to get ugly on the continent very soon.!! Something like 9300 police cars burned in the last five years, ye hahh.
 
..wonder if the thugs are near that legilslator's neighborhood now...?..the old saying of..'the chickens coming home to roost'........Man..if you don't have the most basic right..the right to defend yourself...don't even worry about any other rights, because your life is continually hanging by a thread...

I think it's great that the source of the problem where "M" folks are involved is always "the M word", but I see no rush to use the "C" word to describe all that crime and terrorism in Latin America. Imagine the headlines if we used religious affiliation to describe every bad act in the Southern Hemisphere..."C---s smuggle drugs into US daily; C----s kidnap record numbers of people for ransom; C---s light policemen on fire in the streets during protest; C---s burn banks to protest GW Bush"

The ineffectiveness of the French state at dealing with this is a good reminder that self-defense and self-sufficiency are not irrelevant, even when you live in a country where the government is willing to pay for all your healthcare and give you all kinds of handouts. Willing and able aren't the same thing, and as much as I'm sure the French government wants to stop this rioting....it clearly isn't able. Maybe they'll start to understand why us American gun owners are so serious about preserving the personal right to self defense.

shootinstudent, and the MSM, will still be diverting attention from the problem even after the crescent and star are flying from the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame is made into a mosque.

Charles Martel must be spinning in his grave.
