I don’t understand how Sarko can so sanguinely say, “If you are assaulted by an armed burglar, he will use his weapon more effectively than you anyway, so you are risking your life.” He’s a smart man, so his use of the word ‘more effectively’ is beyond my comprehension. If he had said ‘with reckless abandon’ instead, I could’ve understood (disagreed, but understood). But ‘more effectively’?! How does he know that? How dare he say that?!
Because, like most politicians, he knows what is best for you better than you do :-)
He is a statist. Pure and simple. To him, the state trumps the individual in matters of life and limb.
