Hand guns are legal in France. We are probably the most hand gun friendly nation in Europe
I would have never expected that. Learn something new everyday.
They allow them because they would never be used if faced with a foreign enemy. They'd be used to buy foreign support. You know the old joke. "French guns for sale, never used, only dropped once"
Who uses handguns distributed among the civilian population to face foreign invaders?
Sitzerland distributes machine guns for that purpose,.
My point was about handguns. Obviously machine guns have practical military applications in pushing back foreign invaders.
