#1 I got a feeling most of the folks blasting away at the sky tomorrow night could even read their press release anyways.
But it was nice of them to consider all gun owners as borderline Neanderthals...

#5 Phoenix,Az has an adaption of counter-battery radar that tracks rounds fired into the air back to the point of origin.it works to.

#6 parts of L.A. are using it too - triangulating the sound intensity to pinpoint the shots. Trick is to shoot simultaneously from different locations....haven't figgered that out yet...

#7 The idea of shooting off guns on New Years Eve never occurred to me. Firecrackers, yes, but not guns.

But I've got a pile of guns, and over 6,000 rounds of ammo.

And now, thanks to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, I have an idea.

#9 LOL, Dave D.

I think the "under-intelligence" here is at the Brady Center to Steal Our Guns So We'll Be All Victims Of Criminals AND The Government, Just Like In Britain.

(Very long title for their organization; think I'll just shorten it to "BARF")

#10 Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, formerly Hand Gun Control Inc. Changed it's name since it was so discredited.

My nephew the policeman told me the P.D. he works for will NOT be responding to "shots fired" on New Years unless someone is actually hit. Most of the guys will be holed up under underpasses as not to get hit.

Those shot detection things work really well when tracking one or two shots from the same location but are useless against the many on New Years in some areas.

These Hand Gun Control people piss off my wife so much she joined the California Rifle and Pistol association and she doesn't even shoot.

#11 San Francisco is trying to pass an ordinance that would prevent folks from having guns in SF. I understand the state has a law against such local ordinances. Should be interesting to see what happens. Personally, I think such silly ass ordinances do nothing other than ensure the bad guys are armed and the honest citizens not. Washington, DC has a very high murder rate and they have laws against citizens having guns. The naivete of the gun control people always astounds me.
