If they believe they have then yes.

The Dutch once killed and ate one of their government officials during protest. This is rather tame in comparison.

Rather loaded question. I don't think this is unique to France.

Having guns isn't helping you at all. Trump is still in the White House. You still have an undemocratic, minority government in power. What happened to the whole idea that your right to bear arms was to overthrow a tyrannical government?

When French people protest things tend to get done. No guns needed. I don't even think they use guillotines any more.

Also France =/= Europe.
