Scruit

When I looked at the pic I saw text that advertized the website the pic was linked to. Dunno why is is showing up now.

Wally is being held hostage by the bad guys, and they threaten to shoot him unless Mick Dundee gives up. So Mick shoots wally in the head, dropping him to the ground. Of course, through the magic of Hollywood the bullet only grazes Wally, but it makes the bad guys give up the hostage ploy.

I read one student shot and life-flighted, and one teacher who suffered injuries minor enough that he refused medical help.

They will argue that if the shooter had a large mag the it would have been worse. Looks more like a personal feud though. One shooter, one victim. How does a school let you walk around with a shotgun, honestly?

100-125 is a bargain for him.

Blackwing has two full- auto uzi's for just $8,995 each. A steal, really.

I'm going to introduce a new bill myself. Given how unutterably ugly Feinstain is, Her countenance is an assault on mine eyes of the most despicable kind. I'm going to call it the Assault Face Ban, 2013. Anyone who looks like her will be required to NFA register their faces, and store them in a surgical mask. Childish? Sure.

Obama will probably issue an executive order banning brains. He's jealous that we have them and he doesn't.

I see smart technology being applied to electrical weapons more than to guns. My taser already has a one-off activation passcode before it will activate for the first time and they can easily program it to require a new passcode 2 hours after any use of the weapon - ensuring it is useless if it reaches the black market after being use in a self defense situation. (The instructions say to zap someone and leave it zapping them as you run away - 30 second cycle - so if used they will probably wind up being kept by the bad guy) They already have cameras on some models (although discerning if the target is a bad guy or an innocent is beyond even the wildest dreams of current technology. It could be embedded with an rfid chip for detection (not that I want that, but it is a feature the "smart guns" author wanted) and also would not work if the rfid chip is deactivated. It could be designed to be disabled externally via a coded radio signal. Of course a taser is essentially a "less lethal" one-shot weapon with a 5-10 second reload time that is not going to be used as the primary weapon in a mass killing. As such I see no reason to need to disable it remotely, as it's value to a mass killer is limited, whereas it is worth more to a person protecting themselves.

There ARE smart artillery shells that are steerable midflight using onboard brains - they can shoot "around" a city (like the curved trajectory of a golf ball) and hit a jeep from 35 miles away. This is a projectile that has all the velocity it's gonna get as it leaves the barrel - not self-powered mid-flight. Of course each shell costs as much as a half decent house...

Would you be better with donut spares? Less rolling resistance, should be cheap form a junkyard.

"Find loads of movie reviews at..." I know what you mean. Just like Crocodile Dundee 2

I don't believe any EO would directly impact citizens - I think it would go after manufacturers and FFLs - who would be significantly more motivated to comply. I would not be surprised to a new tax being applied to gun and/or ammo purchases, or mandatory reporting of serial numbers on every NICS form (not just multiple purchases) and some sidestepping of the requirement that NICS destroy records.

What if the bad guy is a kidnapper holding your baby, with a knife to his neck?

His executive orders can still suck and make ownership or sale extremely inconvenient. The next republican president will just undo it anyway. It would be more difficult to undo a law than an executive order, so in a way I'd prefer an EO to a non-sunsetting law.

On the contrary - smarter safer cars have resulted in stupid careless drivers.

For the same of argument let's pretend like the technology exists: - Who decides when the gun is to be disabled? No need to confiscate guns, just disable them all.

The term limits thing comes up at the start of every congress. Nothing new, never goes anywhere. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/termlimits.asp

http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/09/opinion/shane-smarter-guns/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 I'm gonna sue this guy, I choked on my Tim Horton's reading this...

I, for one, welcome our new MJ overlord.

Eyes on the road, mister.
