Is that a railgun in your pocket... ?

Very interesting technology here. From Mashable:
"U.S. Navy’s Record-Breaking Electromagnetic Railgun Shoots Projectiles at Mach 7"
http://mashable.com/2010/12/10/railgun/

So the next question is: Does the second amendment protect railguns? Remember, if you outlaw railguns, only criminals will have railguns. :)


While we're on the subject, here is an interesting link from the Buckeye Firearms Association:
"Politically Corrected Glossary of Terms about Guns and the Right to Bear Arms"
http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/6382

It's a fun, but very useful, read about how to communicate with the anti-gun crowd. It comes across as amusing at times, but this is serious stuff. Some questions on the page are very strong:
Shouldn't we disarm the criminals first?
Why haven't we disarmed the criminals?

Then after talking with an anti-gun person for a while, they recommend this: "You know, after listening to you for a while, you've convinced me that you should never own a gun." :)
