I have no TV, but I guess what is certainly said/shown on french TVs.

Yesterday, on a french radio :
- the radio journalist was interviewing another french newsman, living in the USA ; and was accusing the "free" sales of firearms. The one living on your side of the pond replied "well, it's wrong to say firearms can be bought without any control" and explained there indeed are checks and controls.
- one minute after that explanation, the first journalist staded once more time "as anybody can buy firearms without any restriction in the USA ...."

I guess some people have preconceived ideas and won't let them go, whatever you say...


A few years ago, a madman killed 4 or five people, here in France.
The immediate reaction of the journalist on the same radio : "we need new laws, more restrictive laws.."
He did not even know what the laws were, in France, at that time.
In fact, if existing law had been correctly applied, by those responsible for its application, this drama could have been prevented... (the killer was known to be insane, having already uttered threats to his physician + he was no longer allowed to possess the guns he had).
