You know that these weapons can shoot down airplanes, they can blow up railroads. This is really a whole national security issue, he added.

Hey! Guess what jesse! Airplanes can take down buildings, big ones too! Semi-automatic weapons would have done less damage and less people would have died. Go, get busy and grow a brain.
You cheated. You used a bayonet lug. Turns an ordinary gun into a monster.

Awesome... I watched that show when I was a kid. Even watched ‘Branded’ the short time it was on.

The moon? Not bad, not bad at all. However, I must confess that you are not up to standards. The crater Copernicus, at the South Pole of the moon was mine but unfortunately it was a ricochet and when it hit the earth they now call it the Grand Canyon.
That big black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy,,,mmmm-hmmmm..........
A $10 Laser Pointer can blind the Pilots flying an Airbus A380 with 400 plus Passengers on Board.
You can stick a rag in the Gas Tank Filler of a Car parked in front of a Nursery School and light it with a Match, then it will go boom.
Criminals don’t stop being Criminals because you change the Law, they just find another tool to do the damage.
What’s your point Jesse, outlawing Human Ingenuity? There is Good and Evil in the world, outlaw Evil, that will work.
Unbelievable!
This guy should expose the damage a unicorn can do...
Jesse is just giving his Obama buds a new idea.
Just shoot down an Airliner and King Obama will have the people on his side so he can go after the Evil Gun Owners, all those Old White Tea Party types.
That crater on the left, I did that with .22
