I get ...Engineers that want to un-invent something?<br />I get pretty depressed looking around at some of the young engineering graduates today who have no working knowledge of....well, anything.<br />It doesn't take critical thinking to be an engineer, but boy, would it sure help if more of them had it nowadays.<br /><br />As far as getting upset about being able to produce an AR lower on a machine, have these guys never heard of CNC machines? Bored rednecks with power tools?

Oh wait, even that had varying power settings up to and including 'kill'.<br />The problem is that they (hoplophobes) STILL haven't gotten it thru their heads that any 'weapon' is only 'deadly' when the person wielding it engages in 'deadly' conduct. As most gun folks know, it's the person that uses a tool for good or evil that is responsible - not the tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
