    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!
    I know some leftist that think only Republicans and conservatives will have their AR-15's AK's etc confiscated. They believe that since they are in good standing with the DNC they won't come for their firearms.

    So yes they are that stupid.

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

    Entire German divisions were destroyed in Operations Goodwood and Cobra. French barns groaned under the weight of all the guns of all sorts that were stacked in them.

    Whatever number the French .gov gives for unregistered guns, it is a fraction of a percentage of what is really there.

    You might be thinking of Larry Thorne, Finish born, fought Russians as a Finn and in the German Army. He later fought for the US, but disappeared in a helicopter crash in Vietnam. His remains were found many years later and he was interred in Arlington.

    Rene Faulques is also known as Roger Faulques.

    Yes I know of him. But I dont think so, let me make a call to a classmate.

    Back to you, one of the guys I went through school with has personal experience with French FL and is well versed in there greats. He tells me like all the googles except one that he was born in Zweibrücken, Weimar Germany.
    It makes really no difference, he was a mans man.
