The ban is in effect through Bastille Day in order to prevent “serious disturbances” to public order, the French government announced Sunday.

    So…if the government turns on the people, what do the French have to protect themselves with?

        The citizens just ask the politicians to come to the guillotines, plz?

      Yes, France clearly needs the right to bear arms just like Iran does.

      Remember all the uproar happening in Iran last year? What happened? Did they topple their abusive regime without guns or foreign intervention?

      Everyone was calling them so brave and now it’s just silence.

        The Iran thing was doomed to failure not because of guns but because of ideas.

        In a war between the strict version of an ideology and the less strict one the strict version is always going to win. The revolution in Iran was for diet Islam against real Islam.

        Look at the Russian, American, and French revolutions. It is trivial to name open atheists/diests/secularists in all three. Can you name a single one for Iran without hours of searching to find maybe one tik tok video?

        Ideas matter.

        I don’t know about Iran’s gun rights to have much input on that comparison.

        From what I remember, I thought the protests were mainly by the youth in universities.
