You may want to look up the meaning of the word 'decimate' and consider how surpassing your goal by 10% is actually pretty close to the spirit of the word.
Good news, buddy. I have a copy of Wikipedia that fell through a time portal from the future, and it lists "People that like Mike Nelson" as "The first up against the wall when the Revolution came."
More specifically, ownership of fully automatic weapons has been restricted, registered, and taxed since 1934. If you live in Georgia, are not a criminal, and have a hell of a lot of money, you too can own a fully automatic weapon.
I fully concur on the killing the criminals part of your post.
No, no, no! I heard on a bulletin board the other day that terrorists are planning drive-by bayonnetings in major population centers.
And the proper term is magazine, not clip. A magazine fully encloses rounds of ammunition and feeds it into the weapon's action. A clip is a piece of metal that holds rounds of ammunition together for easier loading into a weapon's magazine.
Don't get me wrong, we should keep our right to drive on the highway, but we shouldn't allow anyone to be able to go 100 miles per hour just as we don't allow people to roll down the highways in tanks or giant bulldozers.

It is much more likely that I, me, the person/mind/soul inhabiting this flesh, will be attacked by 35 gang members than go out and shoot babies.

That would have been the NFA of 1934, but good info nonetheless.
Also, you should mention that full-auto weapons can be owned in states that have not banned them outright.

The next time 35 gang members storm your house, try telling me nobody needs that much ammunition in a weapon.
Probably not going to happen, but it's much more likely than my going out and shooting babies if I ever see a 30-round MAGAZINE.
Now their snipers won't have to worry about firing in between heartbeats. Anybody want to bet on how long it'll be before we have black-ops cyborg snipers with no pulse?
My 3650 can browse the web, take bad pictures and video, interfaces with my company's Exchange server so I can read work email on the phone, plays games, etc. I love it.
If you want people to download something from your website, you zip it. Pretty much all browsers know how to handle a.zip file. They save it to disk. If you give a link to a.mov, crazy things can happen. People who don't get the whole right-click thing just click on it, and then the QuickTime plugin takes over and loads the thing.
The quote from the book, as closely as I can remember it, was, "He allowed a great part of his power to pass into the ring, so that it could control all the others."
The summer after my freshman year, I was working as a technician at a computer shop. We had horrible floods that summer, and a customer brought in an Acer 486DX66. It had been underwater for a week, buried in mud on the first floor of their house. He was only bringing it in to get a quote for the insurance company, and of course after taking one look at it we wrote it off completely.
The next week I had some free time and noticed the box sitting in the corner. I took it out back, turned the hose on it, removed and washed the cpu and memory, took it inside and plugged it in.
They were still using that computer as the fax server when I quit.
16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Now why on earth would we worry. Strange that the text actually says in the hand or forehead, not on. I wish I could read the originals as they were written...
Visit my company's website, appforge.com, in the next few days to download MobileVB 4.0, an add-in to VB6 that lets you write applications for a wide range of handheld devices. We support the P800 and P900, and apps are very easy to create.
They can overlap in major ways. The best way to get more power out of your car (without adding a turbo or supercharger) is to remap your car's fuel and timing (and boost, if you've got a turbo already) curves in the ECU. The code is proprietary to each manufacturer, so you have to reverse-engineer it first.
I own a Subaru Impreza WRX, and one of the major tuning companies, Cobb Tuning, hired a computer engineer to do exactly that. Now I can pay $400 for 35 more horsepower. I like the crossover.

Whoa! When I mentioned Cobb, I never really considered you'd be on /.
I'll be picking up a Stage1 reflash from you guys in a month or two. Thanks for all the hard work!

I believe that would have been Return to Zork.
Discrimination usually means things you can't help, too. Nobody is forcing anybody to work at SCO.
And here I thought SCO was trying to force the entire Linux kernel development community to work for SCO, and for $0 salary to boot!
