Appearing on MSNBC in the 11 a.m. ET hour on Friday, Daily Beast editor and NBC News contributor Christopher Dickey was confounded by the idea that the terrorist who launched Thursday’s attack on France was heavily armed: “...where the hell did he get those arms? I mean, this is not Alabama or South Carolina or Texas. You just can't go buy automatic pistols in any old store in town by showing your driver's license.”

AR-15 lorry? Guess someone needs to add that lorry to the pictorial depicting AR-15s.
I know, it’s a coin toss tryin’ to decide huh?
Voila! C’est magnifique!
Around three weeks ago out of the Ukraine, cops stopped some guy in a delivery truck. The guy had it loaded with twenty-odd weapons and ammo....heading west, and the story by the cops was that he was heading toward Belgium to sell the weapons on the open market there. Anyone who wants a weapon in France or Belgium....need only talk to a local drug dealer and put down cash. To suggest that law prevents gun sales....is comical.
Why is it that the liberal dickheads want to ban things they know absolutely nothing about. I have seen them jump back at the sight of a pistol and turn pale. You can tell they've never fired or loaded one EVER. I had to prove to my wife (who used to have liberal tendencies) they weren't evil by leaving a loaded gun on a table one day. I said don't go near it, don't touch it, and watch, It won't fire. Then took her to buy her, her own gun, taught her how to shoot it and she has no problems with them now. Liberal idiots just ont get that it's liberal idiots like themselves that use them to do evil. You could use a 100 other objects to kill someone yet they don't want them banned. Why not cannonballs and cannons. Those suckers have a mass hundredso of times larger than bullets. Bowling balls too.we knw why. They're just parroting what their satanic overlords tell them to.
My pet peeve is northern liberals who make disparaging remarks about the south.
Must be a new major scale mode on the guitar I haven't head of before...lol
“My pet peeve is morons who use the term “automatic” when clearly the firearm in question (I fixed it) is a semi-automatic.”
The problem being that you are wrong:

“Automatic” can refer to a firearm that automatically chambers a round after pressing the trigger to fire a round (a semi-automatic) or one that chambers and fires multiple rounds with while continuously pressing the trigger (fully automatic).
Note that the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol round, usually referred to as .45ACP, was developed years before there was a fully automatic firearm in which to use it. Same goes for the other ACP rounds. Was there ever a fully automatic firearm using the .25 Automatic Colt Pistol round?
I have a high capacity antique F-150 with DUAL fuel tanks! I can pump gas until I exceed my credit card limit.
I especially like the single action fully automatic revolver. Just one motion and it’s fully automatic.
Where I live about one out of thirty own a hundred or more firearms. I may be on the low side. I know one who teaches concealed carry classes and claimed a few years ago to have over four hundred. Owning a dozen is nothing unusual.
Anyone who wants a weapon in France need only go to the local ARMORIER!
Frenchmen own more guns than Canadians. Check it out!
“Aren’t all pistols made since about 1840 automatic?”
Uh, no.
Well, I guess that’s true. You had to cock the hammer on those early revolvers.
So let’s make it 1877 that they became automatic:

well excepting single action revolvers, they are semi automatic
Uh, thanks for chiming in.
> You just can’t go buy automatic pistols in any old store in town by showing your driver’s license.”
Annoying, isn’t it? The constitution says nothing about having to show ID for your gun rights.
“I’ll bet the truck was registered too.”
Truck was a rental.
My car is a semi-automatic (8-speed auto with manual/paddle mode).
if the “attack truck” was a V-8 there will be hell to pay!
Nobody needs 8 cylinders!
