Read here somewhere about an amateur waiting on delivery of a 24" RC
Optical scope.  He's going to use it in his driveway.  It costs what,
$60,000.00 for the scope & God knows what for the mount.  This just
isn't right, no one should be allowed to spend that kind of money for
a personal scope.  Even though I'm a Republican, I'd be in favor of
legislation to watch for those kinds of expenditures and stop them
dead in their tracks.  The money should then be confiscated and given
to the needy.

I want this kind of behavior stopped & I want it stopped now.

That is truly "Great" :-)

If I used any scope in my driveway, odds are I'd back my (much less than $60,000) car over it.
