It seems the gun itself (dubbed the SPUR or “special purpose unmanned rifle”) is designed to be fitted onto a variety of robotic platforms. It has a 30x optical zoom, thermal camera for targeting in the dark, and an effective range of 1,200 meters. Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual. There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
