Women are nearly half of new gun buyers, study finds

Whenever I hear about how the rest of the world doesn't need guns I always think of the Mexican avacado farmers who used (highly illegal) guns to protect their farms from cartels because the government can't protect them.

Always funny when a European corrects an American that the rest of the world is not America, as it is obviously Paris.

Kinda surprised Parisians weren't busy arming themselves to the teeth after the Bataclan.

Useless unless you also have the right to bear them into potential death traps like a theater.

Very needed when like in Bataclan the authorities take a secure the parameter and wait approach, like for Columbine and the Pulse a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida massacres. Or when the closest authorities cower in fear as in the Stoneman high school shooting (that was addressed by police units from further away).

Many ignore that the authorities always have guns. The only question is whether the civilians are able to have them too!
