Biznotch, I think the reason you aren't getting random, pointless France-hate is for a coupla reasons:
1) We try to emphasize intelligent discussion here. Weaponry is a touchy topic, we know it, and thus try to be even more mature here than other boards on this site.
2) You are not an idiot, more importantly, you are not citing your country of origin as plausible excuse for your idiocy.
3) My personal take on the France issue is that we don't really dislike the average Frenchman, it is more that we dislike Parisians, and I'm betting that you know what sort of Parisian I am referring to. I've travelled in to France as a youngster. I met many friendly, normal folks there. Then I got to Paris. Blech. Then again, I say the same thing about the Bronx as compared to the rest of America.
As to your on-topic points, I'll just point vaguely at what Lebell wrote as he said pretty much what I would.
Oh yeah, I'm a Life Member of the NRA. We're not all mindless France-haters =)
