Pissed Off...

Watching the news this morning during my workout, they had a "story" about the Swiss Mini-gun. This is an old story, resurrected recently for no good reason (except, perhaps, for more PSH to get us to vote for an avowed gun-grabber like Hillary! or Obamessiah... {/tinfoil hat})

What really frosted my ass, though, was the talkinghead's assertion that this was something only a criminal would be interested in. It was in the context of the gun not being able to be imported (too small, AAMOF), and the comment was along the lines of "Bad news for criminals, this gun can't be imported."

First off, the fucking thing costs over $6 grand (listed as 6500 swiss francs, one US$ = 1.03 swiss francs). Secondly, it's a 2.2 mm bullet. Put this in perspective - it's less than half the size of a .22LR caliber bullet in diameter, with far less power. They claim it is capable of killing, but it's along the lines of Legos - yeah, if one got lodged in your windpipe just right you could choke to death on it.

Quite frankly, the ONLY people would might be interested in this gun were it importable would be very rich collectors - the same folks that legally own machine guns, frex.

"Bad news for criminals". Fuck you.

That is all.
