I note that the same $400 million dollars that the dems are happy to spend to infringe our God-given freedoms is the same amount they want to slice from the Airborne Laser (ABL) program, a much worthier endeavor, IMHO.

The citizens are more of a threat than the North Koreans right now I guess. I’m sure Richardson has assurances.

It’ll be very reasonable at first, and will grow to become a monster, with govt. commissar’s blocking millions from being able to buy or own guns.

If we haven’t learned this by now.....

The chemical lasers are just an interesting sideshow, but in reality, chemical lasers are difficult to maintain and quickly run out of components that make them lase. The Israelis are working on semi-conductor lasers and have them pumping out more than 10 kilowatts now. They have successfully used them to shoot down rockets, mortars, and artillery shells in flight. They figure that within a couple of years they will have them up to the 100 kw range and at that point they will be ready for more field testing and deployment.
