We tuned in after the harassment began, but French Ambassador to the United States Gérard Araud won the adulation and respect of European-style gun control supporters Wednesday night, despite the fact that his three-part tweet on the subject was missing the second part.
Harassed by NRA fans. (1) the rate of deaths by guns in the US 6 times the French one, (3) sorry we don't want to emulate it.

@GerardAraud what's (2)?

@GerardAraud But we can count to three in America, so there's that.

Perhaps Part 3 is actually Part 2, and there is no third part. In any case, Second Amendment supporters and “NRA fans” agreed that they didn’t want to emulate France’s model of gun control.
@GerardAraud Since 1776, the US with armed citizenry has had one government. In the same time, France has had 19. So much for safety.

@GayPatriot @TracyJeffords @GerardAraud That's funny cause US cities with France's gun policies are the ones with the high gun death rates

@GerardAraud I'll keep my guns and that statue you sent. You can keep your restrictions on freedom.

@reddogcw @GerardAraud I'd rather live freely in a sometimes violent country than live where I'm unable 2 defend my life

.@GerardAraud you prefer no go zones & public riots where authorities do nothing. That's a nice country, if that's what you call it.

It’s probably in poor taste to speculate about the coordinated terrorist attacks on Paris so soon after they occurred, but there’s no arguing that the French are hitting back hard, and proudly doing so without bullets.
