[Katzndogz]

They have gun control. No death penalty

"every 24 hours 13,000 thefts, 2,000 attacks and 200 rapes" take place in France – figures far higher than official national statistics.

"The real level of insecurity, probably the worst in the history of the French Republic, is around 12 million crimes per year," he claims.
