You are making a large leap- I use a red laser rangefined to determine distance in taking pictures- I guess I will be shot for having a machine gun.

Dear Lord, what a pity that Mudcat doesn't have a "cracking up laughing" smiley.

Yeah, sure, the IDF were boarding a ship, using laser sights to take photos. They're just misrepresented photographers, not soldiers at all. In a fire-fight situation, or what was soon to become a fire-fight situation (albeit one-sided), laser gun sights aren't used, so it must be for photographic range-finding.

Have you considered the many benefits of bridge ownership? I have a couple in this portfolio I could show you.
