		<description>This piece rocks!  Can&#039;t beat that opening paragraph.  You&#039;re quickly becoming one of my favorite New Yorker authors, thanks. 

Could you post the rest of Baber&#039;s interview?

PS: I also liked the first Terminator movie, it was a great show.  T2, not so much.</description>

		<description>Just think how much a terrorist headed to Mumbai, or an American offshore target would like to get their hands on one of these.  Especially if these weapons are so easily modified so as to accept a variety of ammo.  

Has Barber explored any modifications to &#039;scram&#039; the guns to make them instantly unusable and unsafe to dismantle?  I doubt it.

Remember, the Dr. Gattling and others in the early development of the machine gun felt it would &#039;bring peace.&#039;  Yeah right.

Just by publicizing such endeavors for low-rent mass killing machines like this guys like Barber are doing nothing less than sowing business for themselves and ensuring that Iran and other countries who are looking for a regional &#039;edge&#039; will deploy their engineers and scientists to pursue similar avenues of havoc for the flesh.

Why do Americans like Terminator movies so much?</description>

		<description>@ajt: In fact, I talked to Baber several times about the V Tech incident. It just wasn&#039;t particularly relevant to the story, which isn&#039;t about gun control or the general use of guns. But if you read closely, I quote Baber on the general issue: 

&quot;Police departments asked for AA-12s, but Baber decided that the gun was too powerful to risk selling outside the military. He donated one to his local county sheriff, but turned everyone else away. “I don’t want that on my conscience—something I created going out and killing people all over the damn place,” he said. “I’m not worried about what does over in Iraq or Afghanistan. That’s fine.” &quot;

For what it&#039;s worth, his view of the VT massacre itself is fairly typical most ardent pro-gun folk -- some version of &quot;if one of those students had a gun, they could have stopped it.&quot;</description>
