Excellent! The right of pet robots to keep and bear arms should not be abridged, at least not until they can decide where to aim them!

"Right now, what you're seeing is the M-249 machine gun (version)," Khan said. "But, we can (also) use rockets, 40 mm grenade launchers, and the M-240 machine gun, as well as the M-16 rifle."

That will make some troops happy – but I imagine the Jihadists’ will have a different opinion.
