From her comments... "I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now they’re going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high-capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available.”
I wonder if Diana DeGette sells her car every time it runs out of gas.

I understand that I may be a bit more educated about firearms due to interest. However, it disappoints me how ignorant elected officials can be. It makes me wonder if they possess any sort of background that makes them suitable to determine what laws should be created or be allowed to spend tax money.
This woman apparently went to the Joe Biden school of firearm use and safety. Total ignorance. Inability to form a complete sentence. We need to elect smarter politicians.
I am concerned about CO...The do have their share of gun incidents, but more a problem with ignornant public officials at all levels.
“My question is: What about me?” the Denver citizen asked Rep. DeGette, arguing against limiting magazine capacity. “There may not be one bad guy that comes into my house… I have to change magazines? I am a serious disadvantage.”
“What about me?” he repeated.
After arrogantly smirking at his question, DeGette replied: “The good news for you, you live in Denver. The [Denver Police Department] would be there within minutes.”
“You’d probably be dead anyway if they had that kind of firepower,” she added

I agree. And, the military will more than likely adopt it in their sniper training and declare it a national secret. Who knows how much tweaking would be necessary to give it a 2,000 or 3,000 yard range, or longer, with similar accuracy in the hands of a trained sniper. IF a complete noob on his first shot ever with any firearm can hit a pie plate at 1,008 yards ...

The fact that it runs linux is moot. Most embedded projects these days run a variation of linux. So that tout is 'meh' (do note, I've ran linux since 1996 ... still love me some Slackware <3).
That said, I was wondering when someone was going to do this in a commercial rifle. It 'only makes sense' after all. Take rounds loaded to a known value, add a range finder, add some optical recognition stuff for knowing when things are on target, etc. That said, making a stable working system out of all of this is quite applaudable <3.
Arstechnica is usually better about details but this story was a tad lacking IMHO. But, I'd venture the company behind it didn't wanna say too much :).
