doomsday condo complex

If you’re wealthy and more than a little fearful about the end of the world, Larry Hall has the place for you.
Hall, a Florida Tech graduate and former Harris Corp. manager who became a communications company entrepreneur, can set you up in an 1,800-square-foot condominium built in a decommissioned missile silo in the middle of the desolate Kansas prairie.
Price: $2 million.
Once ensconced in your condo, part of a 15-story complex designed by Melbourne-based MAI Design Build principal Dave Menzel, you and your family can relax in the protection of nine-foot-thick walls as you ride out natural disasters or manmade destruction and any societal breakdown that ensues.
Though it may be a barren wasteland outside, inside the silo you’ll have a movie theater, library, pool and, as the website notes, “military grade” security. You can dine on veggies grown in the hydroponic garden.
And to make subterranean life even better, each [...]

A RadioShack in Montana is making headlines — and doing a brisk business — by offering free guns to new Dish Network customers.

“Protect yourself with Dish Network. Sign up now, get free gun,” reads the sign over the door of a Hamilton, MT, RadioShack. The promo has been running since October and the store’s owner says it’s tripled the business in that time. It’s also made the store a bit of a local landmark.

“We have people literally stop in to take pictures of the sign,” the Shack’s manager tells local paper the Ravalli Republic.

To qualify for the deal, customers have to sign up for Dish service and installation and purchase a certain amount of related equipment from the store. They are then given a gift certificate for a local gun store where they have the option of a Hi Point 380 pistol or a 20-gauge shotgun.

The gun store runs the proper background checks on all customers before giving out any firearms. “We’re not just giving guns to felons,” said the Shack manager.

If the customer doesn’t want — or doesn’t pass the background check for — a gun, they can receive a $50 Pizza Hut gift card.

assault weapons

Assault weapon is a non-technical term referring to any of a broad category of firearms with certain features, including some semiautomatic rifles, some pistols, and some shotguns. There are a variety of different statutory definitions of assault weapons in local, state, and federal laws in the United States that define them by a set of characteristics they possess. Using lists of physical features or specific firearms in defining assault weapons in the U.S. was first codified by the language of the now-expired 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban.[1] Very generally speaking, a semi-automatic firearm is defined by these laws as an assault weapon if it has both a detachable magazine and a pistol grip, sometimes in conjunction with other features such as a folding stock or a flash suppressor. Assault weapons are often similar in appearance to military firearms, but are capable of firing only once each time the trigger is pulled. Whether or not assault weapons should be legally restricted more than other firearms, how they should be defined, and even whether or not the term assault weapon should be used at all, are questions subject to considerable debate as part of the arguments of gun politics in the United States.
