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 |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
