Mitt goes over the top

Seems that Mitt Romney, in an attempt to clarify his position on firearm ownership, coined the phrase 'weapons of extraordinary lethality' to describe what used to be called 'assault weapons'.
Weapons of extraordinary lethality? Rico says he wants some.

But if you want a definition of 'weapons of extraordinary lethality', you can't beat this one, from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams:
The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. “Make it evil,” he’d been told. “Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with.”
