How simple the lesson? Remove the fear of guns from the equation, and it reduces the chance, to zero, of anyone getting shot. Moreover, it potentially clears the social stage for, one would hope, intelligent conversation, not to mention making life safer for everyone involved.
In case you did not know, Paris municipal police do not carry guns.
I understand that American cities, Atlanta and Charlotte come to mind, cannot metamorphose into Paris. And I admit I have guns I use to hunt.
But considering the everyday terror and death faced by too many civilians in our own communities, I envy Frances peaceful ways.

....Unless they're black, in which case you must never correct their behavior.
This tripe is a leftist's mutual masturbation, nothing more

How is this lesson more complex than this idiot surmises? Knives. Anyone could be packing a blade which would change the equation quite a lot.
The charming diversity this guy immersed his daughter in just murdered 12 people including two unarmed policemen. So cute that he got to fly his family to France at 2,000 per ticket, stay in hotels at 150/night, to show them how stupid Americans are. Yet here we are, something that cannot happen in America just happened. How charming.
When law abiding citizens cannot carry guns only criminals will have guns.
So, I guess this guy is a complete idiot and nothing he said should be taken seriously? Apparently the police in France don’t have much fear of guns either. 12 people are dead because guns were removed from one side of the equation.
Proving the old adage, “An armed society s a polite society.”
Those Frenchmen and their impotent police were sitting ducks today.
What's interesting here, is the complete ignorance of the very small minority, but hyper violent (and relatively well trained, organized and focused), that is evidently in the midst of Europe in the form of Muslims. Until you arm citizens (and street cops) in France and elsewhere, the country is a giant gun free zone for the terrorists to play in.
I'm sure everyone who saw this story in the US had the same sequence of questions - 1. What are the gun laws in France, and 2. What would I do in that situation? The answers seem to be "effective citizen disarmament" and "throw a chair or a pencil cup" - cause that's all you got.
They always have to throw in “I used to hunt” or “my grandpa was in World War II” or “I get my meat from the store where no animals are hurt in the process” or some such gibberish.
This school board guy could move to Paris that way he would feel safer. I have never seenthe senario he speaks of. We don’t raise .our voices in the supermarket because it is rude and obnoxious
first off, I bet the “racial incident” was made up. Or the kid had been suspected of being a thief, he left to get his parents instead of showing his money ... probably had none
I think it was clear that what I said was that he is deluding himself if he thinks he is safe in a public place simply because he perceives a total lack of firearms.
There are many things that can cause harm when used as a weapon.
That worked out real well for them today.
Right. And when guns are outlawed, who has them?
In case you did not know, Paris municipal police do not carry guns.
We know now.
