If you are assaulted by an armed burglar, he will use his weapon more effectively than you anyway, so you are risking your life.

That is BS, Buglers do not want to get dead. Shoot in the direction of the attacker about waist high and pull the trigger, reload and keep shooting. Then dial 911.

Last year, Mr. Sarkozy told French radio: "Security is the responsibility of the state. I am against the private ownership of firearms. If you are assaulted by an armed burglar, he will use his weapon more effectively than you anyway, so you are risking your life."

You just needed a little more to that quote. Ah yes, once a Frenchman always a Frenchman.
