However, Macron responded to the story by asserting that the 35-year-old farmer had no right to defend himself or his daughter in such a manner.
“Everyone must be safe, and the public authorities have to ensure it,” Macron told Europe 1.
“But I am opposed to self-defense. It’s very clear and undisputable because otherwise the country becomes the Wild West. And I don’t want a country where weapons proliferate and where we consider that it’s up to the citizens to defend themselves,” said Macron.
This is why "we can't be more like Europe".President Macron Says He is “Opposed to Self-Defense” After Farmer Shoots One of Four Burglars Who Broke Into His Home
After a farmer was charged with murder for shooting a man after four burglars broke into his home, French President Emmanuel Macron said people should not have the right to self-defense.

Sadly, many people would agree with him.
Interesting claim, in that most of the homicide victims every year are "regular joes", not celebrities.Big differences between trained professionals protecting important people and every untrained schmuck running around armed and shooting people when they get angry because they are giant ******s. Nobody wants to kidnap, kill regular joes, but hey do politicians and famous people

With the first round of the French election just days away and polls tightening in the race between Macron and his likely final round challenger Marine Le Pen, the comments will do his chances little good.

Many folks have the ridiculous belief that guns equate to self defense when the educated know its very much the opposite.
Put Macron among the educated.

You're judging by american standards there. Macron is trying for the law and order platform by pushing for more police and more money for police. He is running for election. Tell me you have never heard a politicians say something dumb during an election period?Elites enjoying the protections for themselves and their family they wish to tell everyone else they don’t need isn’t even news worthy anymore. To be fair Macron isn’t saying he has a right to defend himese and others don’t. He is simply saying if you want to be protected you just need to hire people to protect you not try and protect yourself like he does. If you can’t afford protection then you are a peasant and not worth protecting anyway.
I guess the French national motto is now just "Liberty, [cough], Fraternity".The included contrast between "important people" and "regular joes" is interesting too.
Whatever happened to the good ol' liberal notion of equality?
Doesn't he have people around him who are paid to carry guns for self defense? That's not education, that's hypocrisy.Many folks have the ridiculous belief that guns equate to self defense when the educated know its very much the opposite.

I wish like hell you'd try.Well that's it. I won't vote for Macron in 2024.

At any rate, I have to wonder about mistranslation. From the context, it sounds like he's saying he doesn't want to see France became loaded to the gills with guns because of all the collateral not-at-all-self-defense uses people get up to in countries like America; and not that he is a pure pacifist and thinks it is wrong to offer any physical resistance to a violent attack.
Either way, it's a stupid pot-stirring thread and no more. A french president's opinions have nothing to do with gun control in America.

trolling post that I almost guarantee you won't come back and defend. what famous people have been murdered lately?Big differences between trained professionals protecting important people and every untrained schmuck running around armed and shooting people when they get angry because they are giant ******s.

@rickc
Your post is vulgar and ignorant.
How is that mistranslated when he would sooner see people roll over and play dead and sometimes being so.Well that's it. I won't vote for Macron in 2024.
