  1. Re:Why wouldn't the people support them? on Google Maps Used To Find Tax Cheats · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In an environment of sufficient economic inequity. The ability to effectively express ones rights and achieve liberty is reserved almost exclusively for those with the means to control the system to their advantage.

    To create a greater liberty for the larger population, by necessity the license of the plutocrats to corrupt and distort the system to their own advantage must be limited.

    I am a libertarian socialist.

    Sorry. but that wont get you around a GMO patent. They patent the biological function, so even naturally occuring variations are in violation. The only advantage you would have is that it will likely take more than 20 years to get a reliable selective breeding program off the ground and that will require monsanto to slightly tweak their patents before resubmitting them and screwing you again.

    Or those luddites are aware than monocultures are incredibly susceptible to catastrophic collapse when exposed to a pandemic against which it has no defense.

    Or they are aware than pesticides have a nasty habit of affecting biological systems in ways that are not immediately noticable and build up over time, and genetically engineering our food supply to contain those pesticides until there are 40 or 50 years of rigorous scientific study for each one is a fucking terrible idea.

    Or they are aware that engineering an intentionally sterile crop as the default for human consumption places a single corporate entity in a position to hold the entire world hostage.

    I am not against genetic engineering, but it needs to be handled with all due caution, and Monsanto isn't. As evidenced by this release of GE lifeforms into the environment, and well, everything else they do.

    Rifling won't help your accuracy that much. Its the same problem as receiver cover mounted sights on AK's and SKS's. Its a loose fit removable part, every time you change it out it will have to be zeroed again, and that is if you have more than just the most basic non-adjustible sights that typically come with break open shotguns.

    I've seen those, but accuracy at anything more than point blank range is likely to be very poor.

    To much focus on semi-auto.
    You should probably add a revolver (I like the .357magnum Ruger GP100 myself) and a bolt action in a heavier rifle caliber to that list.

    30 round magazines are very useful for taking down packs of coyote or wild dogs. But you don't NEED a reason to own a high capacity magazine You don't need to have a reason to own a speed boat or a 200mph motorcycle either, and there is even less of a reason for those than a high capacity magazine.

    Correct, There are however semi-auto versions of SMG's available. And they almost always count as rifles due to an integrated stock. But really they are no different than any other carbine chambered in a big slow round.
