The French are no more,or less, hoplophobic than most of Europe, (with the exception of the Swiss). And they're going to pay a high price for their phobia it seems. Jihadists aren't going to be content with this latest "toe-dip". And americans shouldn't feel immune.
With our borders as porus as cheese cloth we already have jihadists - and whatever weapons they chose - resident. But America is different from Europe.
Americans are armed. Even with the prevailing hoplophobic mania infecting society and government it won't take too many incidents in our public venues to recreate another "Pearl Harbor" attitude.
And, perhaps, this is just the action some are attempting to engineer. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
