In a speech to the National Rifle Association (NRA) on Friday, referring to the shooting of victims in the Paris rampage, Trump said if civilians had been armed “it would have been a whole different story.” Considering the host audience, a quite natural observation. Maybe that’s why Macron and Le Maire were not invited to be speakers?
French President Macron’s statement “France is proud to be a country where acquiring and carrying firearms is strictly regulated.”
His world experience is limited though. At 40 years old, he doesn’t understand the concept that America is a proud country where the citizens have a right to bear arms.
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said he hoped Trump “would come back on his words and express regret”. No regret for a country that incorporates the right to bear arms into its Constitution.
Were it not for citizens bearing arms, there would have been no War for Independence from Britain that France helped us win. Americans acknowledge and Thank You for your participation. Appreciate the Statue of Liberty too!
With open borders and all that comes with it, seems to me gun control is the least of their problems.
So are we “bearing arms” which translates to carrying weapons, or “baring arms”, which would be going sleeveless ?
Good point. 🙂 I think I got confused with the show Naked and Afraid. Fixed it. Thanks.
