    Not under what Marx theorized about. Under state-capitalist states that call themselves communist, yes. I also am not a communist, for other reasons but I am able to read.

    that doing anything to the C&R firearm, such as sporterizing a Mauser can be interpreted by the BAFTE as altering the gun and land you in serious legal trouble.

    There should be severe punishments for those who do bubba jobs on Mausers.

    Are you seriously arguing the C&R firearms do not artificially inflate the price of new handguns because you can get C&Rs via mail?
    I would argue they neither inflate nor deflate the value of new firearms.

    You casually omit the fact that one must still possess a C&R FFL and that doing anything to the C&R firearm, such as sporterizing a Mauser can be interpreted by the BAFTE as altering the gun and land you in serious legal trouble.
    That has nothing to do with getting a gun in the mail.

    The Tupolev was a copy, the Buran was not a total copy. It involved some industrial espionage, but we do that to. Buran was mostly a Russian design, they were also smart enough to cancel it after only one flight, unlike our shuttle program.

    Gunshot wounds from many firearms are permanent in the sense that dead men don't heal.

    Not sure about a mile, but .300 win mag is good out beyond 1000 meters, 1500 meters should be doable . You would not hear it at all that far away. The bullet gets to the target before the sound.

    The vendor is not responsible anymore than a hammer maker is responsible when someone kills his spouse with a hammer.

    I don't have to fill out registration forms for guns. All I needed was a drivers license and a simple call to the police. Only handguns have those restrictions.

    There is nothing else. Fossil fuels were a one time windfall for humanity. We squandered it and there's nothing we can do about it.

    There are many kinds of power available to us now, they might cost a little more but by and large we will get by.

    Kiddo, I read the article http://gizmodo.com/5836741/anonymous-roars-back-with-3gb-leak-of-texas-police-chief-emails, go ahead and show me where it mentions nintendo or eve in that.

    The emails show misuse of government property. It also mentions two shootings that might very well be murders. Do the emails have to say "Hai Guys, I got teh Bribes from the kkk" before you start thinking it looks like corruption? They might even find some of those, only time will tell.

    The first two emails are examples of blatant racism that would be a fire-able offense at any job I know of, other than editor for stormfront.

    Renting is cheaper, because apartments are smaller than houses.
    Ramen is not a good meal idea, no matter how much you think it might save you. It is not even particularly cheap. For the same $1 you might spend on ramen for 4 people you could make a nice meal of red beans and rice. WTF are you spending $1500 a month on food on? There might only be two in my household, but we don't even spend 1/3 of that. Maybe if you include my expensive imported/craft beer habit it hits that level.

    What meat is $4 a pound that you eat so often, beef steak? Chicken sure as hell is not. Pork is not either, even pork tenderloins are only $3/lb. I am looking at a flyer from the local grocery chain right now, Tops Markets which is not a discount place either a normal supermarket, Sirloin Tip $2.99, Chicken Legs $0.99, Whole Chicken $1.29, Pork Spareribs $2.29, Pork Shoulder Steak $2.29. Last week I bought a pork shoulder for $1.19/lb, 5-7lb shoulder. That made enough Carnita for 10 individual meals if not more. Food is cheap, unless you drink nothing but milk and eat nothing but boxed shit.

    Clothing for children is indeed a very real cost when they are in a growth spurt. Unless you had them all at once in some sort of litter, hand me downs are the way to go.
    I am not trying to be a dick, just understand how someone can require that much money to live. I don't doubt that you have nice things, but if you cannot save for the future then you have bigger problems than things.
