I'd like to hear from our French resident member on this topic.

An estimated 5-6 million unregistered firearms, about 65,000 turned in.

The generation of Frenchmen who remember what firearm registries were used for is almost gone, but I'm sure their stories are not.

My late grandfather (mon grand-père) told stories of WWII. When the Nazis rolled into town, the first place they stopped was city hall (l'hotel de ville) for among other things, the firearms registry.

They then went to all the addresses on the registry and you either handed over the firearms on the list, or received a bullet to the head.

Initially, the only firearms the resistance had were unregistered firearms... so it doesn't surprise me that the French authorities are only seeing something like 1% compliance.

Would "we" do as well?

What was it Heston said again?
Oh yea,
"I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands"

Stupid French! Don't they remember WWII History? Are the leftists really that stupid? Also, amazing how the left wing press in the USA jumped on this story. A$$hats for sure!

No-one remembers history, even recent history. As can be seen by the fact that the Democrats are full-on Socialist, and that is now considered "acceptable". It seems no-one even remembers the U.S.S.R. and what it was like.

France population is ~65 million. Their gov estimates there to be ~6 million unregistered guns. Their gov has collected ~65 thousand. While the article paints the French gov as believing the collection efforts have been a success, the numbers suggest otherwise.

Fools. Can you imagine some of the relics being hauled to the authorities ?
So sad to say the least.

The article above said the gov was going through them and some were sent to museums, the rest destroyed. Oddly, gov estimated 80-90% of them were acquired via inheritance. To me that would mean the gov is confiscating heirlooms, not removing dangerous weapons.

Its a huge mistake to think that most democrats and liberals are stupid and uneducated. Don't kid yourselfs,
They arn't, and they firmly believe what they spew.
Look at whos winning in many States.

 

[Rayz]

That is a mistake I am not willing to make. I served in 2 branches of our military and have taken 3 oaths that I haven't resented

 

[DadSmith]

as many as six million, authorities estimate

Well that's probably not even half the firearms in Indiana alone.

Joe will probably come away from his meeting thinking that it's going to be that easy here in America.

Interesting contrast, Macron marries his high school teacher, while Joe marries his children's babysitter.
