We’d like to stress that in our mind, there is absolutely no credible reason for an average citizen to want to transport a loaded weapon, given the fact that violent crime is practically non-existent in Switzerland. Firearm ownership is widespread in Switzerland, however, and precision shooting is a highly regarded pastime. Young people can practice shooting military weapons by the age of 16, and keep their rifles at home.
For now the French government is admitting they do not have enough manpower (mostly women) to enforce the curfew.
The government, however, is offering more jobs to the rioters.......
There really are no words and I will be watching to see if Germany allows this car burning to escalate.
The rioters signaled in advance that they there was going to be 'unrest' and they carried out their threats.
8000 cops and they still can't sort this out? Sheesh, the Mounties would have had the country on lockdown long ago.
Amusing? Guess those amusing cartoons around the world about our attack on WTC was pretty funny too.
Shades of Enoch Powell?
You know what will get France to take this seriously: If the US issues a travel warning.
It was like pulling teeth. I think reporters there are under a lot of pressure to bury the Muslim angle
Laissez les bons temps rouler!

It's surreal.
French are acting like a liberal parent, saying-
Now you better stop that...
I'm going to count to 3...
1, 2, 3...
You're going get into big trouble...
1, 2...
On the surface, it seems that the youth of Paris are just out burning cars for the fun of it, but that isn’t what is happening at all. The suburbs of Paris are burning and it isn’t because of some bored kids. What no one seems to want to mention is the fact that it is angry Muslims who are burning the city every night. Cars are overturned and the violence is escalating. A woman on crutches exiting a bus was doused with gasoline and set ablaze. These “boys” have now moved from burning cars to burning people.
The story was reported that two Muslim boys were trying to avoid a police checkpoint and decided to hide in a high-voltage electric substation. The boys were killed when they touched something they should not have touched. The police deny that they were chasing the boys, but Muslims have used this as an excuse to tear up schools, trains, shops, and any car that dares venture near them and their “turf.”
Islam seems to own the suburbs of Paris and it’s unlikely it will give them back to France. It is equally unlikely that France will demand the suburbs be returned to French control. Chirac seems befuddled and unable to regain control of streets of his own country. This is just what Islam was hoping would happen.
By that I assume you mean "license to carry a concealed handgun in public", as opposed to needing a license to own a rifle or handgun and keep it in your home
It would be interesting to see any memos that have gone out on the matter. Say, for example, a directive specifying which words can't be used in reporting this story...
US has already warned travellers not to leave Paris proper. To stay out of the outlying areas.
Did you hear the 7 o'clock report. Looks like Forrester is getting the early votes!
I believe that's an advisory, though. I think an official travel warning would do a lot more.
I wouldn't impose curfews, they'd be near impossible to enforce.
Believe it or not cold water is the solution.
Hose 'em down. Any "youth" out at night...wet them head to toe.
It's cool out, most of them will go running home. If you doubt me, put on some wet clothes and go outside in 60 degree weather.
The persistent ones are the leaders, so arrest them. Easy to id them...they're wet.
