Rationale:
The effects of the Philosophes was particularly felt in France where most of them did their "Philosophizing," understanding the effects on the actual political and social situation, as well as understanding what the effect of the American Revolution had, will bring these two events in clear influence and connection.

Journal Topic:
2nd Amendment - design a law (or justification that no change is needed) in response to the mass shooting in Las Vegas. French Revo stormed the Bastille to get guns...would it have been better if each citizen had a gun? The American Revolution had Minutemen, a militia (citizen army not officially in the actual army) of citizens who needed to possess their own guns to be ready to serve "in a minute"
In addition to all that, the right to possess arms is also a question of keeping the government in check, most all dictators immediately (or systematically) remove a citizen's right to bear arms prior to fully taking over the country. This prevents citizens from fighting back....is that why the French citizens had to storm the Bastille to get weapons????
Prior to answering, look at this site for some reasoned arguments - Gun Control Pro Con
