"France awash with black-market weaponry." Imagine that.

I talked to someone that lives across the street from the Paris deli that was taken over. He said no one there has any protection except for a cell phone.
I told him I have several AR-15's at the ready. He has food for thought.

I'll take the info from someone who lives there and is living it firsthand over someone who looked it up online.

I'll take the info from some dude on the internet instead of verified facts from reputable sources.

The French Connection - European Underworld provides anything and everything anyone wants. The Law only applies to the honest people. They have exclusion zones that the French Police don't even go into, does Sharia Law include gun control?

Exactly what friends and I have thought about this incident.

Even in Kamala Harris territory, had this happened in any SoCal neighborhood, the likelihood of armed citizens being able to respond with aimed return fire from a good rifle chambered in 5.56 or 7.62 would have been high.

The police usually only get there AFTER a criminal act has been committed, the point of self defense is to defend oneself before the victim phase. We've got it a LOT better than France.

I bet there are many WWII firearms in rural France stashed away for a rainy day.

And right now there are thousands of French citizens who are confronted with this thought-

Is it scarier to own a firearm for defense or to be shot down in the street like a dog, by people who hate you, simply because you exist?
