    It wasn't a weapon of mass destruction, either.
    What's with the hyperbole?

    Bar tender calls for final drinks, shooter opens fire with an assault rifle. The first 20 to 30 people in front of the shooter are already dead.

    Waaay too much Hollywood there, pal. He had a firearm, not a death ray.

  3. OP wrote 'many', not 'most'. I think it's fair to take that stat at face value.

    ACs start at zero. As an AC, you should be aware of this.

    Anyone with 10 minutes and a hand drill can make a "replica" into a real thing, because they are the real thing, just not finished.

    Fascinating, but totally irrelevant. This is a far cry from 'just going down to a gun store and buying an AK-47'.

    They're not modified to be semiauto - they are semiauto. These are civilian versions - crippled replicas, essentially.

    Yes, a 'proper' AK. Sure, one can get a semiauto civilian version, but that's not what we're talking about here.

    I think that's likely true wherever you go. Guns are everywhere, period.

    You can't 'just go down to a gun store and buy an AK-47' in the US, either. Stop repeating this nonsense.

  18. People liked the film. It won awards.
    But if you say it's irrelevant, then it must be so.

  19. Jennifer Lawrence was not in The Dallas Buyers Club. Jennifer Garner, however, was.
    In addition, it was an excellent film. That said, I'm not sure I understand this particular witch hunt, as it is now 3 years old.

    OP never stated that he/she didn't have a backup. In fact, it wasn't even mentioned, because backups are not the subject of TFA or OP's post. It's off-topic.

    We get it. Backups are important. Enough with the self-righteous, smug lectures already.

    I set up an NFS share and use Moode (Rune Audio is another fork) on a Raspberry Pi. This has solved my home audio streaming issues. It will take awhile to load a library that big, but it's a one-time thing.

    'They' downmod your posts because your posts are often just spam garbage.
    Also, just because many people agree that blocking ads is a good idea doesn't mean that we 'accept that you're right'. It's a commonly held opinion, not a revelation from you.

  25. Watching from a distance, it's the left that is averse to logic and reason. Read the wildly successful Assault Weapons Ban of '94 for a primer on just how 'logical' liberals are with regard to guns.
    Simply proclaiming that one's group has a monopoly on logic or reason doesn't magically make it so.
