COLT suspends production of AR-15 for civilian market...

Im not sure how I feel about that. As is, it's a versatile use gun widely used in hunting and competition. But when it comes to altering then and using them for crime, i dont know what that looks like.
But, that ignores that no matter what, we already have multiple examples of "creative shooters." Its why I'm not sure if banning bump stocks, extended magazines, and silencers would achieve anything desirable. I kind of have my doubts.

I realized today, for all the violent, morbid, twisted, ****ed up stuff I create, I may not be that demented as I have never done a rape scene.
Which is now part of a list that includes sex and eating/dinner scenes. So, my characters are malnutrited and just not getting laid and there is a very high chance they are going to die anyways, a high chance it will be a violent one. But I guess even though psychotic breakdowns and death - by - torture may happen, good news future characters of me, at least you probably won't be raped. Even children are killed in my stories, so it's probably just a matter of time until a decides its going to happen. And people think I spit on your grave was out there when it comes to for revenge (at least when that character shows up in that world).

Officially, I'm maturing. I made good money today, enough for me to comfortably spend money replenishing things I'm out of (i can have buttered toast tomorrow) or running very low on (shampoo, and non - alcoholic shampoo isn't cheap). What wasn't included that I didn't think to get was my herbal medication. That would knock me out for the night if I had some. But I don't. Because money floods in for me and my first thought isn't having a date with Mary Jane anymore.

If only that was were in a different thread it may have won certain things. Not a gram i had in mind, but a good one.

Fixed.

Aye, those measures seem designed to address people's fears rather than the problem.

That is why I believe in a socialist state that helps small entrepreneurship and antagonizes banksters

Zuckerberg means mountain of sugar

Zuckerberg means mountain of sugar

Sounds like a term of endearment.

 

[Wu Wei]

Zuckerberg means mountain of sugar

Then in Chinese, I think, Zuckerberg translates to....
糖山
Táng shān
Sugar Mountain

I use to speak a little German and my ex-wife always said, no matter what you say in German, it always sounds like a scary order. She was Italian, spoke none, but both her parents were fluent. One was from Rome one was Calabrian

The Irony here was at the time I worked in a Hospital and the 3 of the words that led to her calling German a scary language were Pen, Sorry and Hospital.

A phrase she used as example was "ich liebe du"

Think those are scary?
Just try to pronounce the name of the company which is now MAN.
"Vereinigte Maschinenfabrik Augsburg und Maschinenbaugesellschaft Nürnberg, AG Werk Augsburg"
At the museum where I volunteer, I'm the only one who can pronounce the brand of their engine.

Yes and I'd extend that to monopolies and oligopolies that dramatically increase barriers to entry for small business

Aye, those measures seem designed to address people's fears rather than the problem.

There is not "the" problem but multiple problems. One is people with semi-automatic weapons (or automatic) with high capacity magazines being used to murder many people quickly. There are other problems such as suicide, kids firing loaded guns and so forth
