The French are no more,or less, hoplophobic than most of Europe, (with the exception of the Swiss). And they're going to pay a high price for their phobia it seems. Jihadists aren't going to be content with this latest "toe-dip". And americans shouldn't feel immune.
With our borders as porus as cheese cloth we already have jihadists - and whatever weapons they chose - resident. But America is different from Europe.
Americans are armed. Even with the prevailing hoplophobic mania infecting society and government it won't take too many incidents in our public venues to recreate another "Pearl Harbor" attitude.
And, perhaps, this is just the action some are attempting to engineer. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
