Leftist Democrat=Right Frenchman

At least on guns, they sure sound the same.
I would like to say one thing, in what is my conception of the Republic, security is the responsibility of the State, I am against militias, I am against the private ownership of firearms, and I’m trying to make you think about that. If you are assaulted by an armed burglar, he’ll use his weapon more effectively than you anyway so you’re risking your life. If the criminal is not armed and you are and you shoot, your life will be ruined, because killing someone over a theft is not in line with the republican values that are mine. The private ownership of firearms is dangerous. I understand your exasperation for having been burglarized two times, I understand the fear that your wife and daughter may have but the answer is in the efficiency of the police and the efficiency of the judiciary process, the answer is not in having guns at home.
Translation. "I understand that I have bodyguards and enough money to have a nice alarm system. You should just accept the murder and rape - take one for the team."

Shame, the French will need their guns
sooner than they think.

Hat tip The Brussels Journal.
