Shooting in France....? But, they have gun control...right? At a Christmas Market?

[LoneLaugher]

According to progressives super strict gun control laws like the ones in France... means there is zero chance of any violent crime happening

Nope. Lie.

[EvilCat Breath]

Did anyone really believe that the kind of violence France had been experiencing wouldn't lead to violence?

The French don't want to pay for the pleasure of Muslim occupation. The muslims can only be expected to fight back.

This is just breaking...a shooting in France...I would wait to post about it, but sadly, the anti-gun extremists never let a mass shooting go to waste, so must be replied to whenever these things happen....

BREAKING: Shooting At Christmas Market In France

We have reports of a shooting at a Christmas market in France. The attack occurred in Strasbourg. It’s been described as a “serious security event.” One person is reported dead (via The Guardian):

---------

1 dead, at least 10 injured in shooting near Christmas market in Strasbourg, France

One person is dead and at least 10 injured in a shooting in the center of the French city of Strasbourg on the German border on Tuesday, according to a local fire department.

"Incident taking place. Please stay calm and await official communications," officials tweeted.



The shooting took place near Strasbourg's Christmas market, which attracts millions of tourists every year, a French security official told Reuters.
------

"I was in the back of the restaurant when I heard gunshots. I think it was the sound of an automatic weapon.

What’s the murder rate in France

What does that have to do with the failure of their gun control laws? Fully automatic military weapons are the weapon of choice for French criminals.....their choice to murder with an already illegal gun is not controlled by French gun control laws..

What is the murder rate in France

The murder rate? You guys always fall back on that because you have to hide the truth that gun control doesn't work.....the murder rate depends on the willingness of the criminal to pull the trigger of their illegal gun to murder their victim. French criminals don't commit murder as often as criminals in the United States in democrat party controlled cities...it is culture, not access to guns that makes up the murder rate...since French criminals have access to guns, fully automatic military rifles....

No, murder laws simply define the punishment, they don't physically stop killers. Again, tell us the relevance of the murder rate in showing how gun control is a failure in France.....

Gun control only works for the law abiding citizen....

France has strict gun laws. Why didn’t that save Charlie Hebdo victims?


How did the attackers get the guns?

Almost certainly illegally. Bloomberg reports that weapons designed for military use, such as the Kalashnikov AK series, have been illegally flooding France over the past few years, with state bodies recording double digit increases.

“The French black market for weapons has been inundated with eastern European war artillery and arms,” Philippe Capon, the head of UNSA police union, told Bloomberg. “They are everywhere in France.”

----

The number of illegal guns is thought to be at least twice the number of legal guns in the country. Weapons such as AK-47s can be bought for the equivalent of a few thousand dollars.

4. Millions of illegal weapons
France is awash with illegal weapons, with some experts saying that the number of illegal guns may be twice the number of legal ones.
Weapons such as Kalashnikovs, many of which were originally used in the Balkan wars in the 1990s, can be bought for less than 3,000 euros on the black market.
Kalashnikovs are the weapon of choice in deadly score-settling between rival drug gangs in the southern port city of Marseille.
The assault rifles were also the main weapon used in the radical Islamist terror attacks in France in recent years.
The worst single mass shooting took place in the Bataclan concert hall in Paris in November 2015, when gunmen sprayed concert-goers with bullets, killing 89 of them. Dozens more were killed in other attacks the same night in the French capital.

why does that matter?

 

[Pilot1]

No matter how many gun control laws there are including bans, and confiscation, criminals will always be able to get guns illegally. This is evidenced here, and many places around the world where ALL guns are illegal, and yet criminals and terrorists still get guns.

Yet the law abiding are defenseless and put at risk by their own government and gun control laws.
