3 Million French citizens made a stand against terrorism today - givethem the means to do it!

 

3 million French citizens marched for the victims of the Paris Wolf Pack attacks today, probably the biggest in the recent history of the country.  In Paris alone, 1.5 million people marched, including more than 40 Heads of State (unfortunately, POTUS was not able to make it).

 

This tremendous outpouring of support is heartwarming.

 

But how the Powers-That-Be will use this new-found well-spring of popular support might be another story.

 

Will the French Government use this as political capital to liberalize France's strict gun control laws and provide French citizens with better means to defend themselves, their families, and their country?

 

Or, will it take the usual low road, and use this opportunity to further curtail the civil liberties of its citizenry?

 

I honestly want to be hopeful.

 

But...
