I have some acquaintances who own and fire military type weapons requiring special licenses. These individuals are extremely cautious with their hobby and treat it in a serious manner that is appropriate.

The mounting of this Gatling gun on a Hummer seems to stray from the serious nature that these weapons should be treated. Why do it? This is not a toy and this wasn’t a movie. If it was mounted on a Humvee in a manner used by the U.S. military, I might change this perspective.

I have some feeling of sympathy for the deceased man, but have a larger sense of relief that he did not kill scores of others by careless operation of the weapon.
