    They just made a bigger shotgun, apparently

    Anyone that works at a ‘defense’ company thinking up new weapons should be shunned from society, tarred and feathered, and placed on a national registry like sex offenders. I want to know if I’m living next to the guy that invented cluster bombs

      Yep, they need to be ostricised… maybe have a “W” carved into their forehead so they can’t hide their warmungering ways

    And people question why we can’t have free health care in the US.
    Well here it is. Tax dollars funneled into military weapons contracts to make new toys that inflict as much pain and suffering as possible. And then gloat about it.

    There’s a reason the Bouncing Betty was outlawed.

    There’s a reason that the use of white phosphorus in explosives was made illegal.

    These things were adjudged to cause outsize pain and suffering and were rightly banned.

    Now we have seen the use of white phosphorus by the United States, and now the deployment of a weapon that cannot help but cause suffering and painful death.
