David Thiel opened fire on 21 July when the low-flying helicopters disturbed his afternoon nap near Grasse in the south of France, court sources said.

Cut him some slack, he's old and he needs his rest. Better he was shooting at a low flying metal object than his ex co workers/school mates like we love to do in America. I didn't even know you could own guns in france.

Wait, so let me get this right? In France, the Great Satan of every dittohead American... The only time the big bad gub'ment attempts to take your guns is when you fire at low-flying aircraft?

Huzah...

And, like in most European countries, it's pretty difficultto own a gun. You need a license, which takes an exam that has to be renewed and there's serious limits as to what you can actually use it for.
An exception is Sweden, where ex-military guys get to keep their sidearm. This strikes me as pretty reasonable, since they've had gun training and all.

The French are gun nuts who drive terribly and are over-opinionated arse-holes that throw a tantrum when they don't get their own way. Their leader is also a crook who got in by exploiting a poor election system and who's foreign policy seems to be to annoy anyone foreign as much as possible.

Sounds oddly familiar, dosn't it? :D

Plenty of guns in France, Italy, Denmark, Norway... In Germany and the United Kingdon OTOH, it's very difficult to own a gun. Also, in regards to the ex-military thing, that would be Switzerland, not Sweden.

Also, a condom. Always interesting to see cigarette and condom machines close to each other, and on public streets... It's like Amsterdam-lite.

Bretange.
Red wine bottle in one hand and a two barrel shotgun in the other.

Americans (and I've seen this more than once) loudly leave restaurants when they lean that Coca-Cola is served, not Pepsi, and return some ten minutes later with an arm full of Pepsi bottled bought from a vending machine halfway across town.

They do that shit here, too. Especially here in the south, where all dark caffeineated soda is "Coke". Every so often, some Yankee will come down to visit and get a hair up his ass when he orders a Coke and gets served a Pepsi, since it's all the same thing here. They also have a bad habit of confusing servers by ordering something called "pop".

That came perilously close to sounding like Southern pride. God I've been living here too long.

Wait... when you read the word "Americans", you take it to mean "Yankees"? I'm confused now.

I would hate to live in a country where you can't get guns if your a law abiding person. I'll admit i do have an obsession with firearms but it could be for the better to have ultra strict laws like much of europe. When i took my small arms permit test when i was 21. There was this guy taking it right next to me who was probably the biggest idiot i've ever seen. He had to ask his buddy what county he lived in :x. He passed with the bare minimum and he claimed he studied the booklet for a week and a half, whereas I bought the booklet, walked accross the street to taco bell and read it over the course of a bean burrito (about 3 minutes) then took the test scoring 100%. I don't know about you guys but i find that scary

I do find it scary. Scary that some jerk that doesnt even bother to know the law decides he wants to carry around a loaded fire arm.

Prostitution is actually not legal in Vegas, the cops just don't enforce the Nevada law mostly.

Who abides to every law? Do you always drive at the speed limit, never litter and always report every cent you earn to the taxman?

If a record of abiding to law was the only measurement to gun ownership, no Americans would own guns.

Other than the dro and the j walking I consider myself a pretty upstanding law abiding citizen.

So what you're saying basically is... "Other than the laws I break, I don't break laws". That's a very true statement, friend.

so it's basically a non crime and that's the mindset i was raised which is why i said that.

Oh, Christ, this is about guns again?

Guns are damn sexy and I love 'em
