gunshot-locating system I've heard about this technology recently. Any idea where I could find more info? It sounds impressive.

So if some crackhead kicks in your back door, what are you supposed to do, use harsh language?
Call for Jimmy Cahtah!

Okay - just saw post 112 re spotshooter. Thanks for the info.
To: Alas Babylon!
Wow. If this psycho kills someone in one of counties he will now be in real big trouble.

Well... I guess that means that the whole sniper thing is over. He can't very well go around shooting people when discharging firearms is illegal, now can he. If only we'd thought of this two weeks ago! </SARCASM>

Call 911. Wait 12 hours. Don't shoot the intruder. Wait 12 more hours. Call 911 again. Of course you will be long dead ......

Does that include shooting snipers?
To: Imal
"I have this sneaking suspicion that the feds may have gotten a gunshot-locating system in place."
That's fine, but where is the evidence that there are recreational shooters or hunters shooting in suburban parking lots? Are there gun ranges nearby that would throw off the sensors? Isn't it illegal to discharge a gun in developed areas (where the shooter has exclusively operated)? Are hunting areas anywhere near the shooting locations and similar locations where the shooter might operate?
To: Alas Babylon!
Hmmm, guess Bill Klintoon best not get any in Maryland for a while.
To: Beelzebubba
That's the question. In my opinion, this is just a feel-good effort to make the anti-gunners happy. I used to live in Prince George county and there are some great hunting locations in the South East part of the state. Down towards Indian Head, across the Potomac from Mt. Vernon, is an excellent hunting and fishing area (at least it was as late as 1991 when I went overseas). And Mt Vernon from across the river is a great view to reflect on the wisdom and glory of our first president while drowning a worm.

Seeing as this effectively makes all use of firearms illegal, it will prove once and for all how effective gun control will be.
To: sneakypete
but wouldn't it have been simplier for him to just make murder illegal? No, that just what they expect us to do.

I know a guy who tackled a deer and killed it with a swiss army knife.

Don't look for this "excecutive order" to be recinded once the sniper is captured.
To: uncbob
actually this is related to high tech tools that will watch for, LISTEN to, identify and locate WHERE the next weapon is fired.
we have tools for this... and they are being dispatched.
with this and a few leads, and admission that these very likely are arab terrorists by the powers that be...
we are now in the end game.
Go delta.
To: Beelzebubba
Maybe we are going to have to hide our guns.... to keep them from being taken away from us... I might hide mine in the attic. It is so full of "stuff" that they would get tired of looking before they find my guns.
I heard of some little old lady who was about to be audited by IRS. She said "Fine, come to my house and go up into my attic where my records are and you can search through them all you want. I am too old and frail and I can't climb up there anymore."
The IRS came to her house, went up into the attic, and it was in such a huge mess, they left, and forgot all about the audit. My attic is a HUGE mess, so it might work for me to hide my shotgun and rifle up there. We have had them, or my husband has had them, since he was 12 and we have NEVER shot anyone!!!!! and don't plan to. The democrats have nothing to fear from us, unless they try to overthrow the government. But they really won't have to do that, all they have to do is "To pull a New Jersey" and ignore the law....

I think it's far more probable that the guv is afraid that we might have open season on democrats (hmmmmmmmmm.)He is possibly in fear that his lily white useless posterior is in jeopardy. The guv is a coward and an ass.

SOUNDS GOOD, I hope you are RIGHT!
