This is a flashier look at the TrackingPoint "linux" rifle from a while back.<p>However there is an interesting comment from a ex-military pro-gun control talking head<p>"Where we have mental health issues, where we have children that are disassociated from society early on, when we have terrorists who have political cards to play, we have to restrict weapons that make them more efficient in terrorizing the population," Frandsen says.<p>It is apparently too easy to become an instant sniper.<p>I suppose thats important if hitting the <i>right</i> target as opposed to <i>any</i> target is the point.
