Democratic Illinois State Rep. Brandon Phelps believes that the terrorists who carried out the last weekend's attacks were counting on their victims not to be armed.

“Most of the time these terrorists and these crazy people who do these shootings, they know that they can go there and not be shot back at,” said Rep. Phelps.

While some anti-gun activists pushed back against the idea, which was also recently floated by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Illinois residents who were interviewed on the matter were spilt as to whether more armed civilians could have minimized the death toll in the Paris attacks. 

In France, the right to own a firearm is not protected by law.
