Yeah, we know how well strict gun control laws worked to keep military-grade weapons out of the hands of terrorists in France. Oops, they didn't.

And we all know how licensing will keep guns out of the hands of terrorists in this country. Oops, the Orlando shooter was licensed despite being recently investigated by the FBI.

Shooting down this nonsense is just too easy. Problem is, too many libs don't care.

If they're SO EASY to get, why not go out and try to legally buy one?

This vomit and drivel exemplifies the reason I quite reading Scientific American many years ago.

It’s unscientific and anti-American.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls of All Ages.

I present you, An Eight Shot Matchlock circa 1580.

From that Radical N.R.A. loving Website Wikipedia.

Not a Wheelock

Not a Flintlock

Not a Percussion

An 8 Shot Matchlock.

People have had repeating arms for a long long time.

It’s terrifying how many people in positions of authority are blind to the nature of the menace that endangers us all.

Dude, seriously?

THEY personally won’t come for your guns, people with guns will come for your guns i.e. LEO and others.

The problem with that plan though, ALL LEO are private citizens when not in uniform and don’t want THEIRS taken.

And believe me, people will find out where they live, whether or not they’re married, if they have children and where their kids go to school.

No, be honest, I’m not worried about confiscation by force at all.

Scientific American is the absolute showplace for dummies who think they’re Einstein.

It’s like one of those prostitute display booths in Amsterdam, except for stupid doofuses who think they’re brilliant.

What about the Paris killing last night? It wasn't by guns, it was done by knives...

What do you have to say about that? Just because some infidels use jets to fly into OUR buildings and kill thousands of OUR people, you don't want jets around anymore?

Just because some infidels use guns to kill OUR people on OUR land, you don't want guns anymore?

Just because there are some infidels that use knives to cut off heads and stab people to death, you don't want knives anymore?

You people make me sick, you haven't even graduated from Kindergarten and called a Kindergarten drop out, and you write articles that you think that people are going to take to heart? NOT NOW, NOT EVER AGAIN!!! We know the type of media twits you are, and your da da da isn't going to cut it any longer!!!

Don’t worry, I expect another massacre shortly to keep the narrative going. The FBI LET this happen.

It’ll never happen. Those cops have families.

The force to do that will only be 1/4 of what is needed and they’ll be under fire.

I’m not worried about it.

I’m MORE concerned about stifling regulations that make ownership or ammo acquisition extremely difficult.
