A mini-gun, or just about anything else?  Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, KY is having their bi-annual machine gun shoot this weekend.  KCR is very supportive of Project Appleseed and hosts several shoots there every year.

From their website:
"The participants are machine gun dealers, collectors and enthusiasts from all over the country. The Machine Gun Shoot itself consists of four rounds of firing at a wide variety of used appliances, abandoned vehicles, and barrels of fuel with pyrotechnic charges attached. The pyrotechnic charges are painted orange for the shooter to see. The charges are set off by the impact of the bullets, creating fiery mushroom clouds and fireballs from hell! (Click here to see a video of one of our machine gun shoots: http://www.knobcreekrange.com/media/video) The objective is simple...  destroy everything down range. A wide variety of rare and exotic weaponry will be on display for all to see, such as Water Cooled Brownings, Mini-guns, AK-47′s, MG-42′s, Tommy Guns, M-16′s, Vickers Belt Fed, Uzi's, MP5′s & many others too numerous to mention."

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Lemuel Haynes, 1775

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

Love the machinegun shoot, just couldn't get very far from home today.
