http://variety.com/2015/biz/news/donald-trump-paris-terror-attacks-guns-1201640791/ I don't know what is so 'repugnant'. If the state is not able to guarantee your safety absolutely 100% of the time I think the state must allow you to protect yourself. As the old saying goes... if you...

When the second world war began to turn against Germany Hitler, recognizing the symbolic power of Paris, gave an order that if the Germans were forced to retreat from Paris they should destroy the city on their way out. This directive was not carried out, but it points out the strong symbolism...

"the bottom line of you criticism is that Piketty is French" Not true. My bottom line is that Pikitty uses the microcosm of French history and French economy to generalize about the world economy. Ever hear of China...how about Russia. I would make the same criticism if Piketty were...
