I wonder what the French laws and statistics on gun ownership are. I have a bad feeling that if this happened here, the NRA (or a friend of) would be telling us that if all these people had only had guns, etc. Also, who thinks the fact this additional person went after a deli which is a kosher deli is coincidence? Probably not.
