EU to tighten guns rules despite concern it will restrict hunters, collectors
EurActiv ^ | Jun 10, 2016 | (EurActiv.com with AFP)

European Union governments should agree tighter gun control laws on Friday (10 June) in the wake of Islamist shooting attacks in France and Belgium, despite opposition from some states which say they will hurt only law-abiding enthusiasts.

The Czech Republic is among the loudest critics of rules that EU officials expect to secure comfortable majority backing when the 28 interior ministers meet in Luxembourg on Friday. It argues the measures will not prevent criminals acquiring weapons, but will penalize hunters and collectors.

Since the attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine in January 2015 by men armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles apparently bought in central Europe, France has pushed for a crackdown. It redoubled its efforts after the attacks in Paris on Nov. 13. …

You can’t protect innocent people by disarming innocent people.

Its a hard sell to claim you are making people safer by not letting them have self defense weapons that criminals would use aga8nst them without fear of consequences.

Now we see what purpose the import of Islam serves. All planned and orchestrated.

Has anyone ever told an armed crimimal that they feel safer from them because the government kept them from having a gun for self defense?

I don't think the EU considers indigenous populations full of white people to be "innocent".

As in the US, white people are to be considered racists due to the color of their skin, not the content of their character/behavior/record.

They say that seeing too much can be unsettling. We here on FR see the big picture, as unsavory as it is. The western governments, us included, have been hijacked by nefarious and criminal elements. This alliance between the misguided globalists and the death cult of islam are piecemeal disarming the west, while importing their goons for the final kill.

Nice timing to restrict guns — right when they’re being invaded by millions jihadis.

Just as it was all planned.

I'm sure the examples are rare.
All I can think of off the top of my head is the desperate breaks for survival the Jewish Sonderkommandos initiated against the German/Ukrainian guards in the Nazi death camps in Poland, after relieving the criminals of their weapons.

Europeans know they're being monitored and censored and subject to fines/imprisonment for criticizing government policies.

Europe is paying billions for these corporations to monitor the subjects.

I can’t fathom the thought process that brought EU to where it’s at, nor the road we’re going down. It is mind boggling. It’s national suicide.

Every Western nation is committed to stripping away personal moral authority/civil rights/personal dignity from people born in white skin.

Western institutions are of the mindset that people of low melanin count are racially defective due to the color of their skin, not the content of character of the accused racist, or white person.

It’s national suicide.

Exactly the point. The New World Order, borderless Society elites have spent years bringing the world to this point.

They want nation-states dead.

It’s their plan, but it’s truly Satan’s plan.

One World Government.

I don't speak your language. But I'd bet that gun registration/confiscation is the red line the GLOBALISTS fear most.

... Because the Islamist attackers purchased their weapons legally?

BloodScarletMinnesota :" Europeans know they're being monitored and censored and subject to fines/imprisonment for criticizing government policies.

Even though they don't have the Constitutional right to do so here, they are doing it here with Executive privilege,
but NSA can't seem to recover Klintoons missing e-mails ?
Ballderdash !
Just more selective enforcement of laws which they choose , and ignore laws that they choose.
It's all part of an world-wide agenda !
