Now....are those who want gun control happy with what happened as far as guns go?
I mean....not one French citizen used a gun for self defense today........right? Gun control worked today in France....Right? They don't let the average French citizen walk around with pistols....let alone AR-15s...right.....so gun control is a complete success....right?
I know, I know.....let's look past the fact these 3 guys not only got illegal guns in a gun control country......but they were apparently military grade Russian rifles....and also, if reports are accurate, a rocket propelled grenade? so....all together a successful day for supporters of gun control....congratulations on your win today....
Not one law abiding, peaceful, innocent French citizen had a gun on their person today....put one in the win column.....
Presumably your point is that no one gets murdered in states will liberal gun ownership laws.
No.....my point is that France has strict gun control laws....right? They always throw Europe at us as gun control paradise....right? That tell us we don't know what we are talking about when we tell them, if you make guns illegal, the criminals will still get them when they want or need them.......and only law abiding citizens won't have guns......and then the law abiding citizens won't be able to defend themselves against criminals who get guns, knives, clubs, or attack in groups......because a gun would make it possible for the weak, the old, the injured, the out numbered, and the handicapped to actually defend themselves against those very criminals....
And here we have strictly gun controlled France..........and 3 guys on the watch list by the French authorities....not only got illegal guns....they got, apparently, illegal military grade Russian Rifles and a rocket propelled grenade.......in strictly gun controlled France....
And the law abiding French citizens....who complied with the theories of the anti gunners to a "T".......were slaughtered in under 5 minutes.........in a country with strict gun control laws.....that those 12 people were promised would make them safer.......and they willingly gave up their right to self defense.....probably happily since it was a left wing magazine....a hard core left wing magazine.....
Right?
So, it suits your purposes to suggest that a shooting incident in a state with gun control proves that gun control doesn't work however, shootings in a state with liberal ownership laws does not mean that lax gun ownership laws makes that state a more dangerous place.
Got it.
Well, for one you are wrong.....in the United States, we have more and more Americans owning and carrying guns....and our gun murder rate, gun accident rate....is going down, not up....
How would you explain that....?
There are on average 8-9,000 gun murders each year in the United States, confined to small, multi block areas of inner cities....but there are 1.6 million times a year that a gun is used to stop a violent criminal attack and save lives.......
So......I would prefer to be armed, and not use my gun unless I had to....than to be unarmed facing a violent criminal, armed with an illegal gun, or a knife, a club, or a group of violent criminals, armed or unarmed......
Because in France, Britain, Australia, Germany....they still have rape, robberies, beatings and knifings....the only difference is that those citizens have no option but to accept the rape, the beatings and the knifings....and don't tell me empty hand martial arts....tell that to the victims of much stronger, more aggressive violent young males.....especially women, the elderly, the handicapped the injured and the physically small or weak.....
