Many liberal Americans have a charming idea of Europe. Winding, romantic little alleys, and views of the Eiffel tower in Paris. Seaside promenades and maybe a small orange grove on Italy’s Amalfi coast. Europe is a beautiful place, absolutely, but it’s also a region that’s full of severe gun control.
Most nations of Europe and the European Union (EU) make it very difficult to legally own a firearm for any reason if you’re not actively serving in the military or police. Nations like the United Kingdom don’t even let most police carry a firearm. The result of this gun control mentality isn’t safety and a wonderful paradise.
It’s exactly what you’d expect: helpless people trapped and victimized whenever a bad guy with a gun decides to go wild. The latest example comes out of the city of Montpellier, France; this is located on the south coast of France a few hours’ drive from the Spanish border.

Meltdown in Montpellier
Many readers may recall in 2015 when armed terrorists stormed the offices of a French satire magazine in Paris called Charlie Hebdo and gunned dozens of people down. They were offended over a cartoon about the Muslim religion. People around the world put little flags on their profiles and said how sad they were. Protesters held up signs saying they supported freedom of speech.
Yet, nothing really changed. The horrific Bataclan terror attack happened less than a year after Hebdo. The bad guys were still the ones with the guns, and they still are today. France has many problems in addition to terrorism and one of its biggest is armed gangs.
These armed gangs are often made up of North African and immigrant individuals who clash over drug territory and other rivalries. They also happen to own a lot of illegal weapons. Recently, a major conflict happened in Montpellier, as two gangs faced off with rifles and handguns, terrifying residents stuck close to the fierce firefight.
What Exactly Happened in Montpellier?
The two gangs tried to take each other down, unloading round after round. Nearby residents managed to film some of the fights. Reports say only one person was seriously injured and police responded fairly quickly. Reports also say the fight was over a drug deal. The mayor of Montpellier was very upset and said that the “unspeakable” violence was unacceptable in his city.
According to French cops in the city, they need major reinforcements if people expect them to fight effectively against the huge “rise in violence.” As the police noted, Montpellier is turning into a “crime-ridden” dangerous city and quickly rising to become one of the most unstable in France.
Lesson To Be Learned
While thousands of French folks in Montpellier and elsewhere protest the government’s new mandatory COVID vaccine policy, the violence in Montpellier is a frightening wake-up call to us all.

Gun control combined with big government tyranny and reckless migrant gangs is a recipe for hell on earth. Don’t let it happen here.
“The mayor of Montpellier was very upset and said that the “unspeakable” violence was unacceptable in his city.”
Well there, that made those bad guys scared. They probably threw all of their illegal guns in the nearest river, out of fear.
I love the last sentence. Don’t let it happen here. Too late. To all you idiot SO CALLED 2nd amendment supporters. You have been giving it away bit by bit. you are going to get what you deserve.
Does anyone really think things in the USA will be any different ? When only the thugs and criminals and drug dealers have the only weapons ? The government may take weapons from law abiding citizens, but the dangerous criminals will never give up their ILLEGAL weapons !
Every Swiss citizen is armed. That’s why they don’t need an army.
Resist tyrants. Remember Valley Forge!
Well that’s exactly what’s going to happen here in America if DICtator OL’, SLEEPY, CREEPY, THIEVIN’, CRYIN’, LYIN’, HIDIN’, Biden and the rest of the MINDLESS, BRAIN-DEAD, EMPTY-HEADED, SWAMP-DWELLING, SCUMSUCKING, BOTTOM-FEEDING, HYPOCRITIC, GUN-GRABBING, AMERICAN-HATING, BABY-KILLING, ANTI-CHRISTIAN, ANTI-SEMITIC, LYING, THIEVING, ELECTION STEALING, GLOBALISTIC, COMMUNISTIC, SOCIALISTIC, democRATS and their GUN-GRABBING buddies, like Bloomberg, and all the rest of those moronic no thinking fools have their way.
This is what happens when you give a free ride. And when you disarm citizens. Look at. WARSAW. PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE USA. COM8NG TOO AMERICA, OR DEATH STOPPING IT.
