The wife and I always turn to each other and say "I love TV computers, don't you?"

But that happens with everything on TV - guns, cars, medical treatment. Very few shows get it right, unless they have really good technical advisors.

I often wonder how one gets a job as a technical consultant for these shows. That might be a fun way to earn ammo money.

In another vein of "providing ammo money", I've long felt that the government should allow pre-tax deferral of up to some amount income for "valid milita purposes", including purchase of firearms, ammunition, range fees, instruction, etc., similar to what is done for health care expenses. Of all of the purposes of government enumerated in the constitution, this is one of the earliest and most important.

How about something like a farm subsidy, where they pay you to not shoot bullets at them? :-D

Well, see, you're essentially talking about no taxes plus a stipend for all gun owners. The problem is that this requires knowing who they are, which requires registration, which is bad. Thus, we'd need to not collect taxes from anyone, and pay everyone a stipend. Now, while some politicians seem to think that this is the way government programs work, in that the money just kind of appears, I realize that it comes from somewhere and that this plan would fall on its face pretty quickly.

I was joking. :-)
