    Why? just buy belkin cables and include them in your box. No need to "license" anything. It's an end run I have seen on a lot of devices.

    "animals will only take one bullet."

    You have never hunted before, have you.

    They can take more than 1 bullet easily. I have seen deer that were taken that had old bullet wounds that healed up and one even had an arrow head and shank inside it that healed and had a fiberous mass around it.

    The main problem is that the fastest breeding segment of the population is the 100 and lower IQ segment. The higher IQ segment is actually breeding less and less.

    Timothy James "Tim" McVeigh (April 23, 1968 – June 11, 2001) was an American domestic terrorist who detonated a truck bomb in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. Commonly referred to as the Oklahoma City Bombing, the attack killed 168 people and injured over 800.[3] It was the deadliest act of terrorism within the United States prior to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
      1/3rd of those dead were children .

    And it will cost you upwards of $100,000 to buy the weapon and the cost for ammunition is astronomical due to it's rate of fire. A lot of rich men own these weapons.

    And if guns make people kill, why don't we see these rich guys mowing people down in malls?
