I'm very curious about where the attackers got those firearms. France isn't as heavily disarmed as England, but it isn't exactly the United States for firearms availability; if any of the offenders' weapons can be recovered, I'm sure there will be interesting things to learn from their serial numbers.

Outlawing guns is a lot like outlawing drugs. If you want them, you can get them.

Drugs I could find. Guns? Wouldn't have a clue where to start.

uh, well, that's probably because you're not a criminal or terrorist.

Technically finding illegal drugs would make you a criminal.

Start selling drugs, then ask your higher-ups. Illegal guns are not hard to find in most US cities and surprisingly cheap too.

Or just go to a gun show in the South.

I'd bet that your drug dealer has suitable connections.
