Nah nonsense. France has a rigorous and restrictive gun control system - it's not all about gun numbers, it's access to ammo, policing, licensing, domestic violence etc.

Guns can't kill people by themselves. They require a person. People in a system such as France's are far less likely to *want to* shoot other people. If people don't want to shoot other people, they tend not to.

Complete hogwash. You can't just ignore the impact of laws that you don't like. France has enormously restrictive gun control when compared to the US

Compared to England, though, they don't. And yet, the SAME RATE of firearm homicides. How is that possible if guns cause the homicides?

Not sure where you got your figures from but according to http://gunpolicy.org  France has 4x the gun homicides of UK. This is based off a 2016 WHO report http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-kingdom … http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/france …

Also worth noting that France has ~10x the rate of total firearm-related death as the UK. So yeh, UK gun policy saves lots of lives. Even in your example

That 4x rate jumped because of terrorism, such as Charlie Hebdo. Try again.

Lol what a ridiculous argument. Do you think that the UK has been terrorism-free in the last decade? Also worth noting that my more recent figures are somewhat more reliable than yours, which are based on a 2012 Guardian article which cites a 2008 UN report
