EU Starting A Gun Lobby?

According to a recent Reuters report, firearm ownership in Europe has been increasing. A petition was started after the Brussels incident after extreme gun control laws were proposed by the EU. Many activists say the laws only hurt sportsmen and hunters and do nothing to stop terrorists.

Some EU officials complained about receiving emails with warnings about “faceless and unelected Eurocrats wanting to take our guns.”

Filippo Segato, secretary general of FACE, stated

...there was little point in restricting access to semi-automatic weapons for hunters and sports shooters when most of the weapons obtained by terrorists come from the black market.

A EU Commission spokesman responded
Quote
“The question of firearms is not limited to terrorist attacks,” the Commission spokesperson said. “We cannot ignore that legal firearms have been used in other tragic events where children were killed in a school or young people massacred in a holiday camp. This directive is not about terrorism, but about firearms and public security.”

Hmmm...where have I heard this before?
