It's not that it's people not being able to get weapons if they want to. It's a matter of people generally not wanting to do it.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.
