    The market for this channel (hunters, rural or suburban gun owners)

    How would you know that? TV shopping channels are all about impulse purchasing. That's why they have so many deals that have a timer on them.

    The demographic they're going for may well be people who are sitting home alone watching cable TV at three in the morning, half-drunk and pissed at their ex-wives, angry at the boss. Let's face it, a lot of "GunTV viewers will be people channel surfing after an evening of watching Fox News and looking for solutions to their problems that are all focused on "them people out there".

    The people who 'have the vote' are the soccer mom idiots who think the world owes them a hugbox and a blanket.

    I think it's probably worth considering at this point that this very day, the leading Republican candidate for President has proposed calling up Bill Gates to "close up the Internet" in order to combat terrorism. And no, this was not "taken out of context" or some tweet by a staffer. It was in his own words in a speech he gave on the USS Yorktown.

    So it's not the "soccer moms" that are looking for a fascist daddy-state hug box. It's the self-proclaimed patriots that make up the base of the GOP.

    It's been a least a century since you had the right to live your "own life" on the public roads. You're expected to drive responsibly, obey the traffic laws, maintain your vehicle in a safe condition, and so on.

    That's fine if you want to live in a tyrannical nanny state where you can't legally drink a fifth of whiskey and drive home at 100mph on the wrong side of the road.

    Hand held is much more versatile, and you don't want a weapon with significant recoil shaking your brain.

    If you want the weapon to be stable, the hand is not a good place for it. Shoulder-mounted would be better, using servos that are guided by the eye for aiming. We're talking about science fiction, after all.

    He's saying CO2 levels do not effect temperature. In fact, it is temperature that effects CO2 levels. As it warms, CO2 increases and, as it cools, CO2 is reduced.

    Is it that hard to give a foreigner an accent that isn't English?

    A good recent example is Chris Hemsworth's Thor. Could they really not find a Scandinavian actor to play a friggin' Norse god of thunder or at least coach Hemsworth in a Scandinavian accent? Hearing that British accent really grates on me for some reason. Personally, I'd have had Thor voiced by the Swedish Chef.
