What Happens When You Fire a .50 Cal At An iPhone 5?

Richard Ryan may have the simplest YouTube channel concept. And one of the coolest.

The channel is cleverly called RatedRR. Still, that doesn‘t give a hint as to what you’re about to see. So what is RatedRR all about? It follows host Richard Ryan firing his big guns at various objects. We’re talking a .50 caliber taking on a new iPhone 5. And that’s exactly the subject of his latest video.

Recently, Ryan took his Barrett out to see how the new iPhone would stand up to a couple rounds. Answer: better than you’d think.

Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Amish Edition

An Ohio Amish man who fired a shot into the air that killed a 15-year-old girl more than a mile away has been sentenced to jail.

Holmes County Prosecutor Steve Knowling says 28-year-old Marion Yoder pleaded guilty Tuesday to negligent homicide.

Judge Robert Rinfret sentenced him to the maximum six months in the county jail on the misdemeanor conviction, but he suspended all but 30 days of the term. Yoder will be on probation for three years and will go back to jail for the full term if he violates it.

Yoder fired a shot into the air as he cleared his muzzle-loading rifle on Dec. 15. The round killed the girl, who was driving a horse-drawn buggy home from a Christmas party.

Fast and Furious: Romney Executive Privilege Pledge

An open letter request to Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to make good on his words of “applause” for the Operation Fast and Furious “gunwalking” investigation with a pledge, should he be elected, to revoke executive privilege protecting the production of subpoenaed documents, is likely to go nowhere if confined to limited niche readerships.

While there has been modest support spreading the word on social media sites, realistically, not enough attention will be generated that way to create the pressure needed to convince the Romney campaign that this is something they shouldn’t ignore.

One correspondent advised me that we really need to be able to put the pressure on a campaign insider, but that’s problematic—Romney’s manager, Matt Rhoades, keeps himself insulated with a low profile, and his style and strategy appear to be fixed on the center line and swing voters, rather than a core constituency the Republicans reflexively take for granted.
