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.”

He unwittingly stumbled upon the most obvious flaw in gun control: “You have to get them on the black market, and if you're going to work in the black market, you're going to be connected, especially in this town, with all kinds of shady people. Whether terrorists, mafiosos, whatever.”
