Yep.......they also seem to prefer fully automatic weapons.......
But I thought France had gun control.....yep....and normal, law abiding French people can't get guns......
the criminals can though...and terrorists...
Keep in mind...fully automatic rifles are completely illegal in France...as are all other rifles......
Three dead in suspected gang shooting in France: source - The Express Tribune
MARSEILLE: Three men were killed in a suspected gang shooting in southern France on Saturday, sources said, taking to eight the number who have died in gang violence in the city this year.
Three others were also injured in the gunfight, which broke out around 10:30 pm (2030 GMT) in Marseilles.
--------
At least 19 people were murdered in and around Marseilles last year, compared to 18 in 2014 and 17 in 2014, many of which authorities believe were carried out by gangs linked with drug trafficking.
On March 17, a 35-year-old man was killed by two men armed with Kalashnikovs, who ambushed him while driving then gunned him down as he tried to flee
As to the preference for using fully automatic rifles....another story from last year....
Gun Control Works: 3 Shot in French City of Marseille
But in real life, gangs and drug dealers will still get their hands on guns. As this latest bloody shootout from the most multicultural city in France shows us.
They were 15 to 24 years and were shot with automatic weapons on the night from Saturday to Sunday in the northern districts of Marseille
"Drug trafficking-related murders is the likely hypothesis," said Bernard Cazeneuve.
It was 2:30 on Sunday in the 13th arrondissement of Marseille when the shooting erupted. The three victims were then in the stairwell of the building D. Several individuals aboard two vehicles opened fire with an automatic weapon.
Twenty 9mn cartridges from an automatic weapon, but not a Kalashnikov, were found on site. Shortly after the tragedy, 2 burned vehicles were recovered in Gardanne, about twenty kilometers north of Marseille.
One of the victims, the major of 24 years was known to the police. But the two minors, both aged 15 and a half, were "little known", according to a judicial source. However one of them was prosecuted for armed robbery.
