Probably. Well to be fair we don't have the same system, USA can hardly apply a rule over the whole country as it's divided into states with some power whereas in France you can set and apply a law everywhere in a few months at most.
But again I was not talking about anything else but my opinion on the subject.
I think you get pushback because you say (well, essentially) "I'd control you," and people respond "Hell, no you won't."
Lol...no big deal...
Meh, as far as I know all I ever said is "gun control is better" and I maintain my position, gun control is really better.
But I'm not going to impose it in the USA, I don't how I could even do that xD
And after all, you're free to kill yourself, I've got no problem with that, I'll just not go live in the USA that's all ^^
You could easily find a dozen locations where there were no guns, places that were pretty "European like."
But you'd want to check the crime stats, because some of them are really not safe. Here, it seems like the big cities that the liberals have ran for ages, Chicago, Detroit, guns are illegal but ALL the criminals have guns, resulting in sort of a chaos in which ordinary citizens are the victims. Clearly, other parts of the world are different.
It's easy also to find places where virtually every one has firearms, where few even bother to lock their doors and it's really quite safe. Many variations, including between parts of a city or area.
It may interest you, the first firearm I bought was after a nasty encounter with a rabid animal. Wound up killing it with a shovel. Really messy, crude and brutal. Not wanting to ever deal with something like that again, I went and got a 22 rifle. If the powers that be had banned guns, well, whatever...
Oh but everyone has the right to own a gun even in France you know?
Lot's of people have rifles for beasts and some have handgun just because they feel they're threaten.
But:
1/ Each weapon is registered at local police
2/ You have no right to go out with your gun ready
3/ You have no right to have your gun ready to fire at home either.
Consequence is that you can NEVER shoot "by accident" as you must first prepare and load your gun.
And the low number of guns + strict registration makes it nearly impossible for criminal use.
I guess you guys in France must have polite, respectful Criminals who obey the laws.
It's more than having a country where you can't buy a gun at your barber helps to have a low number of weapons available.
Plus there is no real need for criminals to have guns as the ctizens won't have any. Which means they can do whatever they have to with just the traditional knife. Which means police is most of the time stronger and that you have less risk to die of an encounter with a criminal.
That's something Americans should understand IMO: if your nobody in your country sells guns,
it's much harder for criminals to get their hands on one. I didn't say IMPOSSIBLE but much harder. Which means most of them won't have one. Which leads to incredibly less deaths every year.
I prefer having more thiefs and less murderers, but you got the right to chose the opposite.
Here is your wonder of a safe country. I suggest that you stop blabbing crap like this on the internet.
1/ Each weapon is registered at local police
2/ You have no right to go out with your gun ready
3/ You have no right to have your gun ready to fire at home either.
Here is 2015 in your country. Looks like the Jihadis are having a pretty easy time in your neighborhoods, doesn't it? Maybe you should go to the radical Mosques and instruct them in Firearms in France, points 1, 2 and 3? Maybe they haven't heard?
