Fighter jets have been priced out of reach for the average American. We have a right to bear arms. We need universal fighter jets.

It's a revolving cannon that fires 30mm shells. Can be ground mounted too, or even hand held. Remember the movie Predator? That's what Schwarzenegger was firing into the trees when he thought he saw the predator.

Saw SR71's at Mildenhall back in the day.
Tornado GR4 worked on them for 8 years.

Used to see a lot of these Tornado fighter-bombers by the RAF base by where we lived. They flew crazy low over the rocks and fields on their practice runs. ******* were loud.

Had one of these fly over me at an airshow a few years ago. They're just amazing.

Saw the GAU-8 Avenger dismounted from the nose, along with a rack of rounds next to it up close and personal at Oshkosh many years ago. There's a few gulf war vids out there of it shredding ground vehicles. Ill post them if I remember.

Also caught a demonstration of one of these. Not the flashiest, but still impressive. And very, very loud.

Little known fact: The United States is home to the 5 largest commercial airline companies (fleet size) in the world (American, Delta, United, Southwest, Fed Ex) with almost 6000 planes (the next closest is China with 1500). During war, commercial airliners could, if the absolute need arise, be converted to long range bombers and other war planes.
