Violence in France

[Humlenerd]

As a robber or a rapist, I would wear a gun too, just in case. And shoot first. And then I would rape the victim nonetheless. However I would be cautious with babies. One of them managed to kill its mother a few days ago with its mother's own gun. Babies are very dangerous with guns.

Reason #3: Colunbine High School massacre: at the end of the day, "legal" weapon providers were involved. Friends of the teens bought the weapons legally. They were not imported from the Middle East or Eastern Europe by some criminal organization. In a normal country, obtaining guns so easily when you are teenager from a middle class family not connected to criminal networks would be unthinkable.

The guns used at the Columbine High School massacre were illegal(acquired by illegal means)...

Yeah, bought by other people, and acquired by illegal means. I'm all for background checks, though.

I laugh at gun laws in other countries and states. #justarizonathings. Anyways re-railing this thread. Gun control in the Us and France is very different so let's just focus on France right now. Unless the gunmen got the guns from America I really don't see how it's relevant.

At least they have some sense of drama.

1982?  That chart starts from 1982?  Seems like a desperate reach for numbers.

I'd like to see a chart that starts from 2000.  That's going to be a vastly different number I'd think.

France is under siege by retarded muslims again.

I think they are sufficiently qualified to deal with the threat.

[MaxLam]

The difference is that when France was invaded, France was the retarded country.

Yep, youre right.

Exactly. And I wasn't even talking about the gunlaws in the United States. Because I know nothing about it. I think in some states of the US it is hillariously easy to obtain a gun.
In Germany, and France however, it is rather hard to get one. You cant just go to a shop and purchase one.

Besides that, as said before, just because a gun was bought legally doesn't mean that it was obtained legally...
