The word itself is significant; the French Right is as rabid as anybody. For example their business practice was quite harsh, as harsh as any, during the Modern Era. As we all know, it led to Vichy France, spelling the end of the Third Republic.
Anyway, the myth that market can regulate itself is a fantasy. History proves it wrong. Modern Capitalist economy endured countless cycles of depressions, it's practically a routine. And we all know how those two economic disasters came about, the Great Depression and the more recent one in 2008(before that, 1997 in East Asia).
How about Gun regulation. Gun lovers say that people is the problem, not the gun.
Of course, since people uses the gun.
But the problem of that position is, human nature DOESN'T CHANGE.
How virtuous do you think we are compared to the ancients? We might be greedier actually, since the tempering factor, Religion, has been losing its grip on the human conscience for some time.
Hence, more regulation as the solution is only a logical one. More strict background check, AND strict regulation AFTER buying it, not unlike Driving License. Of course education and psychiatric attention is important as well.
