Even if what you were saying were actually true, do you know what else CANT and WONT happen in France?
The day two men grab you and drag you off screaming to rape and murder you its plain enough to see that you CANT do a damned thing about it and WONT be able to stop them from doing any thing that comes into their sick heads.

My wife?
She’ll blow there arses out the front door with one of the 4 guns we have here in the house.

So you go ahead and feel slightly comforted with your delusion that france is safe.
The rest of the world that reads the news about your country knows better.

Youre nothing but a helpless sheep, just as your masters want you to be.

A girl was attacked by a mob using fists and a broken bottle. They may well have beaten her to death (not just permanently mutilated her face) if the author had not intervened (and fortunately for him, they left instead of attacking him). The same series also includes references to several murders with knives in the UK, sometimes for reasons as trivial as someone asking the killer to stop throwing potato chips at someone else. (I believe the UK is in western Europe.)

It is foolish to think that if guns are unavailable (and they never are to criminals), you don’t need to worry about defending yourself. If someone attacks me with a bottle or a knife, I would not hesistate to shoot him (and I have that ability, since I can legally carry my handgun concealed in this part of the US). The gun is the only tool that gives one person a chance against several, or that gives a woman or elderly man a chance against a young male attacker.

It is a grave error to think that only gun violence is worth worrying about. Moscow, Russia has strong gun control, and yet the murder rate there is very, very high. Closer to my home, Mexico also has stringent gun control, and their murder rate is several times that of the US.

Even if you could craft a gun ban that actually were to make guns disappear as if by magic, the real effect would be to give power to the physically strongest people– young males, who happen also to be the ones making up most of the attackers.

What are you going to do to defend against a strong young male attacking you with a large knife (knowing that you, as a lawful person, carry no self defense tools)? Even a strong male victim (unarmed) is no match for another strong male with a knife. There is no realistic way to ban knives… even if a government were to try it somehow (good luck cutting your food), edged weapons can easily be crafted from everyday items.

If a person wants to kill someone, no law is going to prevent him from finding a weapon with which to do it. Going after the weapons, and not the criminals themselves, is a strategy which can only do harm by disallowing victims to defend themselves. In safe areas, it is not the lack of guns that makes it so. Such areas are safe despite the ban on guns for lawful citizens, not because of it.

What do Columbine and Virginia Tech have in common??

Time’s up!

They are both gun-free zones!

If the evil and depraved people who committed these crimes had tried to do so in a gun store or a shooting range here in the USA, they would have fired one or two shots before the return fire from armed Americans stopped their attack.

The laws and institutional policies that render peaceful American defenseless are as much to blame as the vermin that pulled the triggers.

“It couldn’t happen in France or other western European country…”???

Seems you have forgotten the incident in Erfurt, Germany in April 2002: “13 teachers, two students, and one policeman killed, ten wounded by Robert Steinhaeuser, 19, at the Johann Gutenberg secondary school.”

Or, to directly address your country: “Eight people were killed and 19 wounded yesterday in a mass handgun shooting in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, France. The alleged shooter in the French massacre, Richard Durn…” This also ocurred in 2002.

And contrary to popular perception, compared to other European nations France has a relatively high rate of firearms ownership. Approximately 23 percent of French households have guns.

You said “…..remember Virginia Tech remember Columbine. It couldn’t happen in France and in other western european country, because here you can’t own a gun, it’s forbidden and nobody have gun hidden away because it’s almost impossible to find some.”

Please don’t fool yourself. It could happen in France and other western European countries…high-profiles shootings and other killings are certainly not limited to those countries that allow their citizens to keep arms.

I don’t agree, and I actualy don’t understand your point of view, remember Virginia Tech remember Columbine. It couldn’t happen in France and in other western european country, because here you can’t own a gun, it’s forbidden and nobody have gun hidden away because it’s almost impossible to find some.
In my whole life (short that’s true) I never seen someone who have a gun and who was not a policeman (or serviceman) or a hunter (to have a gun when you are a hunter who have to succes a special test, and you are limited in the choice of the gun). Do I feel in insecurity ? Of course not because criminal also haven’t got some gun.
I understand that it’s a different culture but would you say the same think when your children whould die by playing with his friends’ guns ?
Do you find reassuring the fact that even a mentally ill can buy weapon ?

See you, Sami

ps : “In Europe, hunting is for rich people.” => What ? In europe hunting is for hunter.
