I’m from France. Getting a rifle is pretty easy, you “just” have to get a psych evaluation and a shooting club registration / hunting license. But that gets you long, manual weapons with small magazines. You can keep the gun if your license expires.

Then you can get a stronger license if your shooting club vets for you. This allows you to get handguns and semi auto rifles.

Any auto gun or explosive is basically only authorized for use for the military.

Oh and anything that can be used as a weapon is prohibited from being carried around in public spaces (yes, it is that vague), and protective equipment is subject to authorization as well (gas masks, bulletproof vests etc)

You can read more on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_France

Edit: Wikipedia does not seem to explain it, but A class weapons are basically military only. B class is what you get through shooting club vetting. C class is for anyone registered by a club / hunting license. D is adults only, with exceptions for criminals etc

My existence is not a political statement.

They’ve not fallen in perception to those whose medical opinion matters

Magnitude of force of a 40yo vs. a teen makes the self defense acceptable imo

True but still funny

Do you have a post clarifying how uBlock got prepared? I can’t seem to find anything

I’ve been a Firefox user for ages on all my devices and I have no idea what you’re talking about

Privacy Badger does break a lot of websites too

With Chrome killing ad blocking, they’ll quickly care

Is this any news to people in the US? In France there is no way you’re pulling out your phone from your pocket, or your parents have to get it from the supervisor (or you can get it back yourself at the end of the day depending on the school rules)

But you have a computer at your disposition when it’s relevant

The estimated free labor done by mods is valued at around 3.5m a year, how are they gonna find that amount of manpower? And how are they gonna properly vet these mods in such short notice?

Mods already are carefully picked and yet slips happen often, if they rush a replacement (which they will have to do if they force new mods) then moderation issues will be a big issue on reddit

I don’t get why they put a shield icon?

Well there is also human cost for development, PR etc, which also probably costs a lot
