1. Big gun has been around for a long time. |

How many times has it been used?
I think the idea of selling something like that is ludicrous but making it a major concern is hardly called for.
Nobody without a whole bunch of specialised training is going to be accurate with this weapon at any great distance. It isn't like the movies (SWAT comes to mind) where guys blocks away shoot down helicopeters.
I'd much rather see more effort placed on closing the borders than on issues such as these.
A terrorist who wants to bring down a jet is going to use a stinger missle, all sorts of which were made available by the US government to our "allies" in the middle east and South America over the years. They are a lot easier to use.
