You right to do as you wish with your property ends where that conflicts with my rights.
If you can't understand that, you'll never understand basic Civics and you'll forever be a slave to people who do not have your best interests in mind.
Government exists to protect the rights of The People, not business masquerading as an individual via Incorporation. If that means regulation to ensure people's rights are protected, that's what government is MANDATED to do; not the predatory dreams of the current crop of pseudo-elected fascists and their hordes of mindless self-defeating supporters.
I believe the OLPC is to get them into the Information Age, not necessarily to modernize them. Participation in the Information Age is critical to economic growth which is critical to societal stability.
Higher accuracy, higher range, ease of reload, and (for hunting) less damage to the meat you're after. The smaller projectile also has a higher impulse behind it, making an even better kinetic weapon than a big, slow, heavy round. And the subject is ".50 vs arrow", not ".50 muzzleload vs.30 centerfire"; let's stay in the same orchard, 'k?
When that hit results in removal of your foot, resulting in dramatic blood loss, yes it is. An upper-torso hit (more likely choice of aim) will certainly be. An arrow in the shoulder is survivable; a.50 will remove your arm and portions of your chest which tends to diminish your chances by quite some margin...
Try actually firing a powder-driven weapon at meat some day, then come talk to me about "bullshit".
50-caliber lead balls also inflict significantly bigger wounds than a bolt or arrow. Arrows/bolts have to pierce critical organs to kill; 50-cal just has to hit anywhere...

There is a real 1st Amendment question (as close as your government strawman comes). Blogging and broadcast are very different subjects.
You're just an asshole and your whole fallacy proves it.

Godsdamnit, I KNEW my wife's Yorkie was up to no good!
That bugged me, too. I think present-day Tigh is a doppelganger.
A baseball stadium can't charge black people or women a higher rate than white men. THAT is the issue.
Shall I go on, or have you had enough embarrassment?

Or do what I did and move into management...
