There are plenty of people in France right now that would certainly disagree with that statement.

I hope we don't get off topic for too many posts. If people in France were able to have guns they could have at least tried to protect themselves and others from what happened. But they were defenseless. I correct myself, guns are not good or bad, they are just inanimate gadgets. It's the person holding the gun that makes it do good or bad things. Innocent good people should not be forced to be defenseless against evil when stuff like this happens. Evil like this should not even exist in the world, we should all be able to live peacefully, but since it's not like that, good people should have the power to defend themselves against evil. Whatever form the evil is in, whether it's something like what happened in Paris or someone breaking into your house or the government becoming too powerful. It's wrong for a government to say society doesn't have the right to protect and defend themselves, but the politicians still get to have armed guards.
