Sarah Palin honored by NRA with special Alaska-themed assault rifle
WASHINGTON - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was bashed for her pricey wardrobe,
but now she's getting a lethal accessory.
The National Rifle Association Foundation will present Sen. John
McCain's ill-fated running mate with a military-style assault weapon
next week.
The all-white "Alaskan Hunter" - fashionable until Labor Day - is the
civilian version of a modified M-4 rifle carried by U.S. troops overseas.
Alaska's feisty Republican governor, who is weighing a potential 2012
presidential bid, will receive the rifle made by Templar Consulting at a
May 14 NRA banquet.
It's engraved with Palin's name and adorned with a map of the state on
the collapsible stock - made legal after the expiration of the assault
weapons ban in 2004. The Big Dipper from the state flag is etched on the
magazine well behind a vented barrel guard.
The rifle is chambered in .50-caliber "Beowulf." It's the same caliber
used by heavy machine guns, which can take down big game, and in war
zones "can disable both motor vehicles and assailants with body armor,"
according to ammo manufacturer Alexander Arms' Web site.
Templar gun designer Bob Reynolds told the NRA's magazine that Palin had
stood up for Second Amendment gun rights and "I just wanted to do
something to give back."

.50 caliber?
Levi Johnston better practice his cross-country running.
Or maybe the Alaskan bimbo will be satisfied shooting wolves from
helicopters.
.50 "Beouwulf", Harry.

about an ounce and a half of lead under a low speed charge. it works
on the same principle as a .45 ACP. the bullet travels slow but has
great knock-down power.

I'd love to be at the banquet, but what ever I bid on it wouldn't be
near enough. i would imagine it will bring over $10,000.00
But if I DID have the money to buy it, I'd donate it back to the NRA
museum.

I wouldn't give the NRA the time of day.

Well, that's your privilege, Harry.

The NRA must have returned his application with the un-cashed check.

You could be dead and the NRA would cash your check.

I wish she would bring her helo to Des Moines and do a search and
destroy on an obnoxious and dangerous pest found in over abundence.
Deer.

She should bring it to Maryland and do a search and destroy on an
obnoxious but cowardly pest, Krausii Liesallthetimeus...

Or in CT, where we find the justhateus lowasstothegroundus.

Actually, there's no reason to pay a dime to be an NRA member.

We called it "the bad part falls out smoking on the floor".
I liked working on computers when a CPU was the size of a commercial
sub-zero fridge and had 1000 cards. Since then it is "cut open the box
and plug in a new one".



I've been out of the electronics field for over 30 years, but am absolutely
amazed at the advances made since I went to school. I learned vacuum tube
theory, transistors and had a basic introduction to digital in the form of
TTL (5v) logic devices, soon after replaced by 12v CMOS mainly because TTL
just wasn't reliable. A digital display was a row of Nixie Tubes with the
proper internal elements illuminated for a display. Electronics then was
all discrete components and a piece of gear designed with them mounted on a
single layer PC board was "High Tech".

Now, a complete FM receiver and 5.1 surround sound decoder is on a single
chip that costs about 53 cents to manufacture. It's really an amazing
evolution. Soon, PC boards will lose their copper conductors, replaced by
modulated LEDs and fiber optics. The size of products will continue to
shrink and become even more powerful.

I am a bit younger but the first time I ever did a repair was taking
apart a tube CB radio and bringing the tubes to radio shack where they
had a tester.. It was a big box about the size of a video game.. You
plugged in the tube and hit the button.. I think I was about 8-10 at
the time.

And constantly more reliable, advanced, and cheaper.
