> FWIW, I own a hunting rifle here in Canada (.30/06, Remmington 700) and I enjoy hunting very much. It's funny, I think hunting is pretty inhumane (though I understand the need to manage the population, etc.) I'm not an a

This had nothing to do with gun control however. The stand your ground rules (different in each state) pertain to use of deadly force (using any kind of weapon, including your fists.) Again you can not brandish (“parade”) a gun without a la

You might change your mind if you’ve ever had someone try to break into your home at 3am. Happened when I was a kid. Fortunately my father had a lowly 0.22 rifle. The sight of the rifle in my fathers’s hands was enough to convince them to

What is your definition of sensible gun regulation in your opinion? Chances are this man bought them legally. He broke the law by bringing guns into DC which I believe are more heavily regulated/restricted.

US citizens can’t have M16s or AK-47s as automatic rifles illegal. Sure you can buy a pre-ban (made before 1986) automatic rifle if you have $30,000 and go through a special/long ATF process.

You clearly don’t know anything about firearms. An “assault” rifle bullet/round (5.56mm/0.223) is smaller and less powerful than a typical hunting rifle (7.62mm/0.308) round. “Assault” rifles aren’t designed to blow your anyo

I see it all the time and I personally think it's incredibly irresponsible. But hey - we have to keep the restaurants in business...at the expense of prolonging the pandemic. Here's an idea, you can already keep them in business,

It's mind-boggling to me that people act so irrationally. Maybe one won't get very ill if they are infected with Covid-19. But it's also possible that they'll inadvertently pass it on to others who may become gravely il

I don't care what side of the political aisle you side with: It's insane that pharma companies and the healthcare system in general can hold people hostage. A friend of mine has Leukemia and takes Gleevec. Thankfully he has a go

TypeScript only provides the illusion of type safety. At runtime, it’s just plain old JS where all bets are off. I’ve been bitten too many times. As long as there’s no native TS runtime were stuck pretending we have type safety.

I'm not buying into Apple's eventually-closed desktop computer systems - I don't care what the performance is. They've been slowly marching towards iOS's closed ecosystem model on the Mac and with an in-house CPU, t
