Most frenchmen would not want people to be able to easily acquire weapons. You can get a hunting gun relatively easily but you still have to take classes and get a permit.

You can have a semi-automatic "assault weapon" too, if you have a permit. This is more than one can do in New York State, except those grandfathered rifles that were possessed before the SAFE Act. France also has no magazine capacity limits.
