More than a constitutional right, they represent an important fragment of the culture of a country which, year after year, suffers a terrifying number of mass shootings. Photographer Gabriele Galimberti set out to meet these gun enthusiasts.

I knew a guy and mentioned that he looked like he might know where a good gun shop in town was.
“Yep - I own guns. I just need to buy one more though and then I’m done.”
“Huh?”
“Well, that’s what I tell my wife every time I go out to buy a new one!”
He said he owned 132 guns (or somesuch precise number well over 100!).
Reminds me of a doctor & his wife, that I met in New Mexico years ago. They lived in a nice house, built in the 1950s or 1960s. After buying the place & moving in, they discovered that all of the exterior walls had sheet steel inside: apparently the original owner had it built that way, hoping the steel would slow down or stop radiation, if we got into a nuclear war. Don't know if that would work or not, but the doc did mention that it made hanging pictures on those walls a giant pain in the @ss...

Le Figaro was always the conservative paper in France. Of course, European conservatives typically don’t share American conservatives’ respect for individual rights.
Oddly enough they don’t include “mass shootings”
done by governments...
I lived in 4 European countries. I LOVE mentioning to them that I own more than 70 guns. If they dare say anything eg mass shootings, murders, etc I offer to compare the total number of Americans who have died by violence in the last 110 years with the total number of Europeans who have died by violence in the last 110 years.
They then try to claim you can’t count that and I answer that you MUST compare that. Our guns are meant to keep the government in check. They’ve mostly worked. Yurps have been largely disarmed and have been slaughtered as a result.
The Photo was worth a Click,,,
Lucky Kids!
Looks like an FN P-90. The real deal, or a semi-auto SBR. Not typical hardware.
Maybe a short barrel AK?
