      Yes, France clearly needs the right to bear arms just like Iran does.

      Remember all the uproar happening in Iran last year? What happened? Did they topple their abusive regime without guns or foreign intervention?

      Everyone was calling them so brave and now it’s just silence.

        I don’t know about Iran’s gun rights to have much input on that comparison.

        From what I remember, I thought the protests were mainly by the youth in universities.
