France doesn’t allow ordinary people to have either, at least not in any meaningful way. Now, whether these were real AK-47s or semi-automatic clones is irrelevant at this point. Witnesses said the group brandished several semi-automatic rifles and at least one handgun.
Police said the incident was not being investigated as terrorism.Īmateur film footage posted on Twitter showed at least half a dozen black-clad gunmen firing, apparently at random, on the estate. The local newspaper La Provence reported that the armed gang appeared to be looking for someone and threatened locals before firing several times into the air. Hooded gunmen armed with AK-47s have opened fire near a group of young people on a housing estate outside the French Mediterranean city of Marseille before reportedly taking a man hostage.Īt least one person was injured when the gunmen, all dressed in black, drew up in three vehicles, and began shooting near a cultural centre in the Busserine district. Kind of like what happened in France yesterday. However, terrorists and other people with similar, criminal inclinations, have an annoying tendency to still get firearms into the country to conduct their nefarious deeds.
I, however, usually counter that by pointing out that those countries tend to have a lower rate of violence in general. They claim the violent crime rates throughout the developed world are more than sufficient evidence to prove it works. Anti-gun jihadists will tell us over and over that gun control works.
