Society Thought France had this gun control thing down?

Video has emerged of the shooting that happened in Marseille, France on Monday that authorities are now investigating as a kidnapping and not a terrorist attack.

The video confirms initial reports of there being approximately three cars involved and several heavily armed men carrying and firing AK-47s.

The Guardian reports:

The local newspaper La Provence reported that the armed gang appeared to be looking for someone and threatened locals before firing several times into the air. They then grabbed a youth and drove off...

...Amateur film footage posted on Twitter showed at least half a dozen black-clad gunmen firing, apparently at random, on the estate. Witnesses said the group brandished several semi-automatic rifles and at least one handgun.

"According to a witness, one person was abducted in a car whose occupants shot in the air several times," local prosecutor Xavier Tarabeux said.

to be fair guns can be sold face to face without a background check also here...but sellers often are selective with who they would sell to

You don't need a background check to purchase ammo, ya dolt.

That's how I bought most of my guns.
Peer to peer. No record.

But then I threw them into the river. I don't have them anymore.
