I shoot as a hobby (steel and paper), and have a loaded gun on me at all times at home (on the bedstand when sleeping) for self defense. Removing that not only kills a hobby that I love, but also places me at a mortal disadvantage if the si

We have plenty of gun laws and methods of checking criminal history already; additional restrictions and laws don't change the fact that criminals are willing to be criminals. Unless you just want to take guns away from all civilians f

How exactly? If anything this outlines the failure of NICS; not gun manufacturers and FFL's.

Yep we've known about this for years. There are even some guys that do chemical analysis of some mixes that result in some very scathing letters regarding acetoin and diacetyl contents. The "bad shit" list for ejuice is usual

I think I misread your previous statement. I see you were saying that if we have armed citizens, the offenders will only use methods that don't get them shot, so bombings and other "assailant not present" offensives. I think,

If those gang bangers are felons, it's already banned. It's also illegal to murder someone, yet that doesn't seem to stop those that commit said crime.

At the very least you have some form of self defense. Do you assume all gun owners to be incompetent oafs? I probably shoot more than most police.

There were active shooters in this instance. Not much you can do about bombs, see Timothy McVeigh.

Maybe it was because I didn't value any relationship I made during highschool then. I assumed that I would likely lose contact with nearly all of those people, and I was correct. I can count on one hand the people I still talk to from

I had $60k sitting in my account for my first house. I just closed at $265k. It's doable, but with a lead dev salary in NE Ohio. This is neither common nor really acceptable, but I worked hard to save my money.

Social engineering is, and will always be, the fastest way to compromise a system. Computers are pretty good at security; humans, especially underpaid and overworked helpdesk jockeys, are not.

What's most absurd is that his parents weren't wise enough (optimistic theory) to tell their kid that this was a very shitty idea. This is a case of parents using their child as a publicity stunt (pessimistic theory).

Yes but unfortunately people look at up front costs and not end costs. $200 to someone living in poverty is more than a month of food, while $20 up front + $40/ month for a baseline limited text and call plan seems far more manageable.
