Say, Michael (or is it mikhail?), you are starting to become a real
nuisance.

The above paragraph applies to you as well, don't you know? With the
difference that you confuse the length of your erect penis with that 2"
sub-nose revolver. (cheap joke, but what the hell...)

For your information, I did post last sunday a message which summed my
knowledge of french laws and gun ownerships. When I lived in France, I
owned several handguns (Smith&Wesson, 357 Magnum and 44 Magnum, in 6" and 8"
and 3/8 barrel length). I had these legally and could carry them to and
from the shooting range (dismantled, of course, with some parts in the
trunk and other parts in the glove compartment).

As you are making a pest of yourself, I am not going to repost my original
post (what the hell happened to it? I myself never saw it being
posted....)

If you really want to get to the bottom of french laws concerning
foreigners importing (or carrying) weapons to France, please refer to your
nearest french consulate. Either that or bring your "tools" to France and
tell the custom agents when they ask you if you have something to declare
that you are in possession of several weapons and see them getting in
action. You will then learn of these laws right away.

I know it is really hard for you to understand that, but it is not because
something is constitutionally "right" in the US that that makes that law
"right" (in the US and other parts of the world.)

Your last sentence above, when you mention that you do not pay much
attention to numerous opinions that you do not find "interesting" is at
the root of your problems. You are a gun fanatic, and fanatics do not
reason well because they are unable to pay attention to other people
differing opinions. Fanatics cannot make "reasonnable" judgements because
they have a vision which is too narrow. It is a self-imposed impairment.

You may have noticed that I eliminated the "talk.guns.?" that you had
redirected these posts to. What is the matter, Michael? Can't you debate by
yourself? Or do you need the help of others?

Have a nice day.
