Joerge Sprave’s Revolver Gatling Gun
If mad genius/MacGyver guy Joerg Sprave doesn’t get his own cable TV show, there is no justice in this world. Of course, we’re still waiting for our chance to produce The Truth About Guns TV show. Anyway, meanwhile, would this contraption be considered full auto if the guns were genuine firearms? Time to write the ATF a letter, making sure we don’t tell them we’re setting out to make a machine gun. [h/t WC]

Eyewitness: Unarmed French Police Arrived at Terrorist Attack, Left
TTAG reader RA writes: “It’s unfortunate, but it is hard to stop a shooter when you have no weapon. From paragraph 9 of the CBS article: ‘Benoit Bringer, a journalist with Agence Premiere Ligne who saw the attack, told the iTele network he saw several masked men armed with machine guns. He said two officers arrived on bicycles, then — apparently unarmed — they left.'” It’s also worth noting that France has extremely stringent gun control laws.

Quote of the Day: Time For a Xanax Edition
“This is how it usually works, though. Americans create technology much faster than lawmakers can regulate it. That can be a positive thing; in this case, however, it’s a dangerous one. As Cody Wilson said when he created the first 3D-printed gun, ‘I recognize that this tool might be used to harm people—It’s a gun.’ And guns are scary for that very specific reason, especially when they’re cheap and easy to make.” – Adam Clark Estes in 3D-Printed Guns Are Only Getting Better, and Scarier [at gizmodo.com]
