Tactilite Blog

Via Sharp as a Marble, Robb shares his thoughts and a great blog post from Counting Cats:

I just love that, “Apart from the thermonuclear warheads” (note the plural - it could carry up to 26!). They seriously considered building something the size of a locamotive powered by a nuclear ramjet leaving a trail of sonic and radioactive devestation in it’s wake and it lobbed thermonukes.

I was born way too early and in the wrong country because that’s utterly brilliantly mad. 1950s America with Elvis on the radio and me with my physics degrees and taste for the subtle mathematics of blowing the fuck out of stuff* working on a nuclear ramjet (wow!!!) and cars with fins and wasp-waisted ladies and wasp-waisted fighter jets (NACA Area Rule) would suit me about right.

Yet, it’s 2010 and I still don’t have my sodding jetpack and they’re thinking of powering the country with fucking windmills!

I wannabe George Jetson and I’m going to end-up as Barney Rubble.

I got this great video from my father in-law, this morning, demonstrating the primary tactical application of the .50 BMG.  Bill M. had been talking about it earlier, so I figured the universe wanted me to share it.  Of course, they should be using the Tactilite to save taxpayers a few thousand dollars per rifle.

I'm sure my readers will be surprised to learn that I'm neither a lawyer nor a constitutional scholar, so I'll leave the McDonald analysis to the other guys:

Volokh (you'll have to scroll)

From the tenor of things, I'd suspect that anything short of an outright ban will be deemed "reasonable regulation" by federal courts.  While I don't know anything about this matter, I agreed with this opinion piece from the Wall St. Journal.
