It isn't a slippery slope, it is already reality. The New Jersey Childproof Handgun Law outlaws the sale of non-smart guns once a smart gun becomes available for sale anywhere in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

The NRA is not opposed to the development of smart guns. They are opposed to legislation that bans the sale of non-smart guns once smart guns are available on the market. Such a law already exists in New Jersey and was proposed at the feder

The CAS loadouts currently used by F-16s and F/A-18s will fit onto the F-35. >Also, AC-130 Noted, though I was thinking of aircraft that have to put themselves in danger to make low and slow strafing runs.

In a CAS role the F-35 would use JDAMs rather than guns. The A-10 is the only US fixed wing aircraft still using guns in CAS.

At first glance that seems to be the case for some countries. In 2011 the US had a homicide rate of 4.7 per 100k, with a firearm homicide rate of 3.6 per 100k. The United Kingdom had a homicide rate of 1.0 per 100k in 2011.

Nothing frustrates me more than opening a link to a news article or some other text-based medium, seeing all of the text render normally, and then getting redirected to a page telling me to enable Javascript.

The gun allows you to 'tag' a target through the scope. Once you've designated a target, the system dynamically adjusts the view so the reticule points at where the bullet will impact based on several factors (range, wind spe

As described in the article the Scorpion doesn't have any beyond visual range capability, only short range infrared missiles and guns. A fleet of Scorpions would only stand a chance if the opposing force ran out of long range missiles

That sort of information is likely classified. In any case I'm not sure how useful such information would be. They go through an insane amount of training that almost certainly would increase their survival rate in an average firefight

Much of western ND today has nothing in common with the western ND I grew up in. City populations are tripling, and they often aren't the people you want moving in next door. Violent crime is skyrocketing and stretched thin police depa

My "to buy" list looks very similar. Mostly modern firearms that serve a functional purpose with a few 'fun' guns (like an M1 Garand and Five-seveN) thrown in for either their historical value or 'cool factor.'

It's hard to find definitive statistics on that. If you go looking around you'll see a few cases that pop up. In the early 2000s a police officer (and member of the SWAT team) used his issued MP5 to murder a few people, and sometime in the

It depends on how you characterize "gun free." In many states signs prohibiting firearms don't carry the weight of the law. That is, if you are found to be carrying you can be asked to leave (and charged with trespassing if you refuse), but
