I'm not the one who redefined freeloading, it is often used to refer to anyone receiving something that someone thinks they don't deserve, but i'll cede the point.
But my other points stand.
Requirement tested welfare creates a larger bureaucracy and more government interference and more opportunity for corruption, and a disincentive to work because working will cut your benefits.
"Freeloading" is impossible in my system because it is impossible to not meet the requirements to qualify because there are none.
You are also always better off working, because working never reduces your government support. That explicitly creates an incentive to work for all cases where means tested systems fail to provide that incentive.
On the other hand, we could have a system where everyone automatically gets welfare so we don't have to waste time and energy (and money!) making sure that people are not "cheating" the system. In that system taxes will be higher, but the bureaucracy will be lower, making it far more efficient.
Automatic firearms are not banned, but you need a $3000 dollar tax and the guns themselves cost upwards of $6000, plus it can take months to get through the licensing process.
They will often say that someone accidentally discharged a weapon while cleaning it in order to keep the family thinking that their loved one is damned to hell for all eternity, or that they were responsible for the mental anguish that caused his suicidal thoughts.
I got a 512gig ssd for just over $300 at newegg recently, and that was one of the OCZ high performance drives. So prices are a lot closer to the ~10x range right now than ~$15

I meant the 4th power, damn it.
Tax avoidance impoverishes the job creators in order to transfer wealth to the leaching class.
Job creators being the working people who actually create wealth through their labor, and consume goods to drive the capitalist system.
Leaching class being the plutocrats who do nothing but extort and siphon off the labor of others.
The Korean war never ended.
This is also true of the hillbilly parts of the US by the way.

Those legs work in more situations than wheels do.
That is an entirely christian attitude. God blesses the faithful, so if you are not blessed, you must be a dirty heathen and deserve to suffer.
Seriously, this is something right out of one of his "cautionary tales"
Automatic weapons are regulated at the federal level.
He either has a million dollars invested in guns between the tax and guns themselves,
or he has been buying his guns illegally,
or you are mistaken.
That is only because of the low population numbers in Mississippi and Alabama, they got you beat in % of racists and morons.
Your friend may own 40 semi-automatic rifles, but I doubt he owns 40 automatic or select fire rifles.
That depends on the state though.
Automatic firearms are not banned, but you need a $3000 dollar tax and the guns themselves cost upwards of $6000, plus it can take months to get through the licensing process.
And? There are people who have remained functional and survived multiple .45 shots. Hell, there are people who have taken a .50 BMG and kept fighting.

That or a flashmob that descends into an orgy.

Why, nothing, of course.
Go raw dog, unless your partners have not been tested recently.
Considering the number of tea baggers out there, prepping for the collapse of society doesn't seem all that irrational.
There have been other mass stabbing attacks, some with double digit numbers of deaths.
Its really hard to flash someone with all that velcro on the vest.
You are better off with just a trench coat if you want to flash people.
It sure seems like her paranoia was justified.
They should have a breathalizer that stops you from texting after 2AM while drunk
