This is going to be my only post on this matter of "French-ness" as I think that there is a need to close the "if it is French, it must be bad" allegation which is certainly wrong. The anger of many people over the French President's approach to the Iraq war is, strangely, not directed at Germany, another country that was very strongly opposed to this same war and whose products were noot boycotted anywhere, nor has anyone ever criticised German products because that country kept out of the war in Iraq. If Jacques Chirac is considered to represent everything French, was there ever a time when Bill Clinton was considered to represent everything American?

Georges Granger, Dorleac and Dorleac, Atelier Demas, Alain Vaussenat, Bruchet-Darne, Armes Ridon etc all make very nice guns in France and let us judge their products for what they are. ee cummings described a politician as "an arse on which everyone has sat except a man."

Shouldn't we be discussing guns instead of politicians and their politics here?

Good hunting, gentlemen!
