French gun laws date back to April 18, 1939, though they have been amended They are certainly tough: There is no right to bear arms , and to own a gun, you need a hunting or sporting license needs to be repeatedly renewed requires a psychological evaluation.Jan 9, 2015 hmmmmm ?!
Every country is different, and people are lying out of their behinds when they say, bans will stop shootings. Case in point, M-16 on train in France taken down by American young men. This, The Swe Dish shooting of 70+ children, the Indian Hotel attack/shooting...and for the mos
t part...actually we ARE bigger, more diverse, more dynamic and more....and we are at risk of civil conflict according to the Australian FM, discussing firearms bans in the US, I kind of agree socially we may be too large of a nation now to sustain and make everyone happy period
But wait...France has strict gun laws!!!!! How is this possible????? Oh yea...criminals still have guns.
