Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Shooting, hostage situation at supermarket in France; authorities suspect terrorism https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/03/23/shooting-hostage-situation-at-supermarket-in-france-authorities-suspect-terrorism French gun laws date back to April 18, 1939, though they have been amended a number of times since. They are certainly tough: There is no right to bear arms for the French, and to own a gun, you need a hunting or sporting license which needs to be repeatedly renewed and requires a psychological evaluation.
