More information on the state of gun control in the country of France....apparently, even with strict gun control laws......
Hooded Men Opened Fire as French PM Prepared to Address Crime Reduction - Breitbart
On February 9, approximately 10 hooded men with Kalashnikov rifles opened fire on police in Marseille as French Prime Minister Manuel Valls prepared to give a speech on the “excellent” work in reducing crime there.
The attack led to a “lockdown… [for] some 7,000 residents in the area.”
According to Sky News, the incident happened “on the notorious housing estate La Castellane” and is being described as “drug-related.” They quoted journalist Stefan De Vries saying, “The area is sealed now and heavily armed squad teams are in the area.” He said the area is home to a “very high murder rate but almost all” of those are gang-related.
At the same time, Sky News Foreign Editor Sam Kiley added that the guns are so easy to get in the area that distinguishing between criminals and terrorists is increasingly difficult. He said the “lines are blurred” because of the supply of weaponry.

As I have said in many threads....criminals will get guns when they want or need them....and France has stricter gun control laws than the U.S......you can't buy any capacity magazines, you can't buy hand guns or fully automatic rifles, hand grenades or rocket propelled grenades.......and Europe is the example always given by the irrational anti gunners....
The only real gun control tap hat is effective is locking up people who use guns when they break the law.....that way law abiding citizens, the group who don't use guns to commit crimes, aren't left defenseless in the face of well armed criminals....
apparently, French criminals are catching up to their American counterparts....and beginning to use guns to enforce their will.........and as in America....this gun violence in France is confined to a geographically small area and seems to be perpetrated by gangs.....
