Nerd Prom for Commandos
Posted by Gary in News, Warrior Tools on 18/May/2011 17:32
From: Washington Wire -WSJ
By Nathan Hodge
Forget the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. The hot ticket this week is SOFIC, the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference in Tampa, Fla.
That’s right: There’s a trade show for everything, and this one is for the often-secretive world of military special operations. And this one is just a short drive from MacDill Air Force Base, home of U.S. Special Operations Command.
… This year’s SOFIC, as in years past, is a chance for the makers of military hardware to show off some of their wares. Everyone from major contractors like BAE Systems to geospatial software designer TerraGo Technologies

Army surveillance bot approved for use by police, firemen
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Warrior Tools on 20/Apr/2011 00:48
“You can send it into buildings where hostages are being held, then move it from room to room as it transmits video via its miniature camera. Sleek and unobtrusive, the gadget can slip under furniture and roll down stairs. Only eight inches long and 1.2 pounds, it can be tossed through windows or onto burning roofs without sustaining damage.
Used in Iraq and Afghanistan for several years now, the Recon Scout Throwbot could be of great use to domestic police and fire departments, but there’s one thing the little machine can’t do—apply for a spectrum use waiver from the Federal Communications Commission. Without that waiver, the bot can’t transmit its live video feed.”
Incoming DNC Head Wants All Gun Purchases Screened
From The Hill:
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said the current law, which allows private firearm sales without background checks, is “outrageous.” The Florida Democrat is sponsoring a soon-to-be-released proposal extending the screening requirements to all gun purchases, commercial or private.
This will only hurt the Democratic Party and the President if any kind of bill is introduced. Every time the Democrats propose something related to guns we all know that it is intended as a stepping stone to eventual disarmament of the American public. For those that have forgotten:
Second Amendment to the United States Constitution
“A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” (emphasis added)
American Expats Fight For Their Rights
The Second Amendment Foundation is suing the Attorney General on behalf of Americans living abroad who, under federal law, are not able to purchase firearms when in the country.
The Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge to a federal law that prevents American citizens who reside outside the United States from purchasing firearms while they are in this country will be allowed to move forward, under a ruling today by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
“This is a significant ruling in our favor,†said SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. “Many American citizens face the same dilemma as Mr. Dearth. They are good citizens, they’ve committed no crimes, and they would certainly be allowed to exercise their Second Amendment rights, except for the fact that they live in another country.â€
When a person wants to buy a firearm they must fill out federal form 4473 which asks for a state of residence. Expats have no state residence.
