Recent shocking terror attacks in France have encouraged many to try to get hold of their own firearms, new figures reveal.

A spate of shocking terror attacks on French soil in recent years has left many in France fearful. As a result, there has a been a surge in the number of people joining gun clubs and looking to arm themselves.

An investigation by the Nouvel Observateur website found that the number of people signing up to become licensed members at shooting clubs has risen 38 percent in five years. [ ]

Having a gun no longer seems to be a taboo subject in France. Its just to have some means of defense at home, Marc, a 35-year-old father told the newspaper.

Well it’s great if their gun club gets attacked. But the socialist governments of ... well... Everywhere want them all to die in the streets. And I wonder if you get turned down for being jewish.

One would think that France, having been invaded more than once , would not have placed themselves in such a position to begin with. Paris Police were unarmed (for the most part) during the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Disgraceful.

Just use those Baguettes

Well, they were one of the first countries in the European Union (then the “European Coal and Steel Community”) way back in 1951. So what does that say?

Maintenant, nous comprenons (enfin)! Le deuxième amendement! Les Américains! Vous, superbes bâtards!

And to think that so many European know-it-alls always try to look down their nose at us for our gun laws . . . guess we are a LITTLE smarter than they thought . . .

One would think that France, having been invaded more than once , would not have placed themselves in such a position to begin with. I used to know 2 people in France who owned guns - un-registered. One had a K98k, misplaced by the Germans during WWII and handed down from his grandfather who had been in the Maquis. The other had an Inland M1 (not M2) carbine handed down by his father and presumably liberated from some GI. Every time he came to the US on business I would have to take him a gun store so he could buy "le lipstick poor sa amie" A notable similarity between both of them is the fact that their politics where both very left wing - PCF type left wing.

They are just starting to realize that each individual is their own personal first line of self defense as designed into God’s nature. The government’s police solve crimes, normally they don’t prevent them. If they look into their history they’ll find out why the royals kept the subject peasants disarmed until there was a war.

Too bad the French don’t have a Second Amendment.

Their own revolution was, in contrast to the USA’s one, the precursor to all the communistic revolutions. All about power instead of freedom.



To: Olog-hai

Astutely true.

The bloody French Revolution and its 10,000 guillotined victims horrified our founding fathers. Enlightened liberal French philosopher’s teachings of the day led to the French Revolution by power hungry collectivists cloaking their movement with a Equality and Liberty for All label.

Their whole mad mob bloody revolution became an inspiration to Engels, Marx and Lenin’s future Marxist communist plans. RE: “Their own revolution was, in contrast to the USAs one, the precursor to all the communistic revolutions. All about power instead of freedom”.

Indeed so; they can be described in the same way Churchill described socialists in general, who promote “the equal sharing of misery”.

MAB made a few nice items, but the French would do well to acquire a Beretta.

First steps.
