EU proposes more gun laws

In typical statist knee-jerk fashion, the European Union is proposing more restrictive gun laws in wake of the Nov. 14 terrorist attacks in Paris. Statist gun-grabbers and big government criminals always exploit tragedy to pass laws depriving people of their rights.

The new laws will, among other things, impose a ban on semi-automatic weapons … because France’s ban on semi-automatic weapons and handguns worked so well in deterring the attackers before. The new laws would also seek to restrict the restoration of “deactivated or neutralized or decommissioned weapons.”

Already in France, gun ownership is restricted to a few licensed individuals who are able to establish a “genuine reason to possess a firearm.” The attackers, who did not submit to background checks or take any other steps toward getting the proper licensing to comply with French laws, were said to have used Soviet-era Kalashnikov rifles. Authorities are speculating the firearms had been previously deactivated and restored illegally.

Of course, the EU already has laws against gun ownership, murder, assault, the use of explosive devices, weapons smuggling, etc. But I’m sure one more law further restricting guns will be just the one that ends terror attacks forever.

This just shows that statist gun grabber politicians think the same way across the pond as they do in the United States. President Barack Obama says gun control will be at the top of his agenda in his last year in office. Doubtless he’s itching for another mass shooting to exploit.
