    Prejudice implies I made the statement from a position of little or no prior knowledge. This is not the case. It isn't prejudice when it is based on their actual policies and actions. I am judging them with cause, and could justly condemn them much more harshly.

  2. Re:But I like guns! on House Bill Would Mandate Smart Gun Tech By U.S. Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    This isn't exactly sensible gun control. A reliable gun is a necessity for gun safety. You give people the false impression of safety and the ignorant and foolish will take additional risks.

    Sensible gun control involves things like universal background checks and mandatory firearm safety and local self defense law tests/training.

    Its because everything else the conservatives believe in is so ridiculous, they just assume the right to bear arms is just has terrible. The right to bear arms is literally the only thing the conservatives get even remotely right.

    Most self labeled liberals are not truly liberal in the classical sense, they are merely anti-conservative.

    I say this as a radical progressive gun toting liberal socialist.

    The gap between cylinder and barrel might be problematic. An imperfectly aligned cylinder will increase wear and stress on any revolver, and a polymer frame revolvers have issues with frame ablation/cutting from the gasses coming out of the gap. The pepperbox concept would be a logical first step to avoid those issues which could prove catastrophic on an ABS barrel/frame revolver.

    Healthcare in America is 5 times more expensive for half the benefit compared to other countries with socialized medicine. At current rates, sometime in the next few decades it will pose an existential crisis for America because it will consume a larger portion of our GDP than any other area of the economy. The majority of people will no longer be able to access healthcare at all, illness and disease will sap our productivity and we will return to a third world country where the average lifespan is 30 or 40 years.

    Failure to deal with the nation ending enormous failure of the "free market" solution to a social issue of health care is for lack of a better word traitorous, an intentional sabotage of your own nation to hasten its destruction.

    Yes, it is possible. But it is difficult and requires a very carefully curated diet.

    On the other hand, a diet that includes some meat has much more flexibility and room for alternatives.
