  • Lethal Legacies: Illicit Firearms and Terrorism in France
    169 Lethal legacies: Illicit firearms and terrorism in France FRANCE Nicolas Florquin and André DesmaraisI This chapter analyses the illicit firearms market in France, the ways in which terror- ist networks have been able to access firearms, and the national policies that have been developed to combat (terrorist access to) the illicit gun market. Particularly since 2015, France has by far been the European country most affected by terrorist attacks involving the use of firearms. The use of fully automatic rifles in the January and November 2015 Paris attacks took an unprecedented human toll, with 147 deaths in those events alone.1 In 2015 the French authorities made 424 terrorism- related arrests, compared to 238 in 2014 and 225 in 2013.2 The recent attacks have created a push to reform the country’s intelligence and secu- rity forces in order to adapt to, anticipate and better respond to these threats.3 The gov- ernment has also identified a series of measures to tackle the issue of illicitly held fire- arms: the Ministry of the Interior’s National Action Plan was launched on 13 November 2015, just hours before the attack on the Bataclan theatre started.4 Yet these efforts can only rely on limited information on and analysis of the extent and nature of the illicit arms market in France, owing principally to the fact that levels of gun violence in France were previously moderate, if not low by international standards. This study constitutes an unprecedented effort to present and analyse data and information on illicit firearms and their acquisition by terrorist actors in France.

  • Semi Auto Pistols
    Section Five - Semi Auto Pistols Like revolvers, semi auto pistols have parts that are unique to them. In figure 1 below we have pointed out the most common parts to the semi auto handgun and give detailed descriptions. Figure 1 11 1. Slide – The slide gets its name from its movement back and forth on the pistol frame. During this movement it accomplishes many functions. As you will see in the animation video in the next section, the slide moves back and forth on the frame. During each cycle the slide will strip a cartridge off the top of the magazine and insert it into the chamber. When fired, the slide moves to the rear ejecting the cartridge in the chamber. It then comes forward again, stripping a new cartridge from the top of the magazine and inserting it into the chamber. 2. Slide Stop Lever – The slide stop lever is known by many names – slide catch, slide lock, and slide release to name a few. Whatever name you decide to call it, it has the same functions – locking the slide to the rear of the frame or releasing the slide from the rear of the frame. Most slide stops are engaged after the last round is fired from a magazine so you can easily tell the gun is empty. Once a new magazine is inserted the slide stop can be depressed, releasing the slide, which then pushes a new cartridge into the chamber. Some firearms do not have slide stop levers. (See Figure 2 bottom left picture.) To lock the slide open on these types of firearms you should insert the magazine and see if that locks the slide to the rear.

  • Weekly Legislative Digest
    Louisiana Federation of Teachers Weekly Legislative Digest May 1, 2015 Steve Monaghan, President * Les Landon, Editor 2015 Regular Legislative Session Now available on the Web at http://la.aft.org Panel votes to silence public employees Despite the best arguments of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public servants, the House Labor and Industrial Relations Committee approved a bill that will make it inconvenient for employees to join and maintain membership in the union or association of their choice. The purpose of HB 418 by Rep. Stuart Bishop (R-Lafayette) is to weaken unions like the Louisiana Federation of Teachers and Louisiana Association of Educators. These are the groups that have raised questions about, and led the opposition to, so-called “reforms” backed by big business that all too often result in the privatization of education and diminution of the teaching profession. HB 418 would revoke the right of public employees to pay their union or association dues through payroll deduction. Since local governments currently have the authority to grant payroll deduction, the bill is seen by school boards and others as legislative meddling in their prerogatives. The bill is the brainchild of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, which has been twisting the arms of lawmakers to force its passage. The big business lobby recruited the Koch brothers backed Americans for Prosperity to publicly promote the bill. It is an example of what columnist Stephanie Grace, in another context, called “an ugly yet ascendant strain in American politics, a willingness to use any means necessary, no matter what chaos ensues or who gets hurt.” The vitriol motivating the bill’s supporters was on full display when an amendment was proposed to exempt the teacher unions from its prohibitions.
