Truck-Mounted Laser Guns
bl8n8r writes "Boeing has announced a contract with the US Army to develop laser cannons that are to be mounted atop 20-ton trucks for the purpose of shooting down incoming artillery, rockets, mortars, or bombs. The High Energy Laser Technology Demonstrator project actually shoots stuff instead of just painting a mark on a target for other armament to hit."
Laser weapons are stupid. They are not efficient in an atmosphere. Its been proven many many times. Get over it nerds, this isn't star.

There's also that part of the population that leaves their guns lying around where toddlers can reach them, grabs them when they're angry at the neighbors, or doesn't lock them up at all, and they get stolen, no doubt by leftist gun-confiscators.
Police that group and I'll listen to your Limbaugh-esque insinuations.
You can't talk about Wikipedia's flaws on Wikipedia
Pools and pickle buckets kill more toddlers than toddlers finding loaded weapons. Maybe, just maybe, if we would leave the second amendment alone the NRA could go back to doing what they're good at (gun safety training) and we could actually have the NRA teach gun safety in school.
How can you violate the Geneva Convention in a war against a country that hasn't signed the Geneva Convention?
