    You are a fucking idiot. Is that better? And that's not an ad hominem. It's an insult. "You are wrong because you are uninformed" is an ad hominem.

    THat you don't know what an ad hominem is, yet lecture others on it makes you a fucking idiot (again, not an ad hominem). An ad hominem requires that the argument be depreciated due to the [personal insult], not just that personal insults are used.

    You should really learn the big words, before you start using them. It just makes you look like a fucking idiot. http://www.nizkor.org/features... has a better definition than the one you gave. It's not just an insult. That's an insult. An ad hominem is an attack on the logic, through the person. "Why should we listen to you, you can't even tie your own shoes" isn't an insult (or is a mild one), but is a clear ad hominem. "Fuck off you prick, you are just wasting my time" isn't an ad hominem. It in no way depreciates the argument made. It's a simple insult.

    I'm trolling because I know the definitions of the hard words you are misusing, or so you ad hominem goes. For someone that doesn't like them, you seem to use them quite commonly.

    When guns are outlawed in a country, gun deaths (and total deaths) drop (see Australia). It's harder to move to another weapon, because guns are so good at killing (just a tool, but an effective one). But if you banned spoons, there'd be almost no lives saved. It's trivial to make your owne spoon, and they have more "safe" uses than unsafe uses.

    Guns are *never* safe. If you don't believe me, go to a gun range. Take out a Glock 17. Remove the magazine. Open the slide. Visually inspect that the chamber is empty. (optionally) install a gun-lock of some kind. Point the gun at the rangemaster. Point the gun at the other people around you. People who know and are familiar with guns. See how they react to your "safe" gun. You'll likely be kicked out in a few seconds. From people familiar and "not afraid" of guns. If people who aren't afraid of guns treat them as so dangerous, why do so many object when others treat them as dangerous?

    This is from sporting firearm usage which is the predominant use for firearms the world over.

    "sporting" is a useless description that is used to mean all non-human-target shots. Paper target and hunting are lumped together. Seems to not be a good delineator.

    Are you afraid of guns?

    No. Why would you think that? That I can understand how some people are must mean I'm justifying my own feelings?

    People own, have and misuse spoons all the time. The deaths from them are negligible. Firearms, properly used, kill people. Firearms improperly used kill people. Killing with a firearm is so easy a 2-year old could do it. http://archive.jsonline.com/ne...

    My car and the wife's car both use the smart key for unlocking, as well as starting. There are backup physical keys, but so long as the battery in the car and the battery in the key are good, you don't ever use the physical key.

    Admittedly basing the smart key code on the readily visible VIN is short-sighted and foolish, the act of locking your car up will at least prevent the casual access.

    I had the keys in my car start to fail. It was a 40 year old sports car. The keys were worn, and they were copies of copies. They were failing sometimes. I called the dealer. They said they couldn't give original keys for the car. I found a place in Australia that cuts keys to factory specs, from a picture of the key. They extrapolate wear and make a "new" key based on the assumed original key pattern. After doing that, I later broke my glove-box lock. It was a convertable spots car, so the glove box had a key lock, matched to the doors. I went to the dealer and ordered a replacement full-cost glove-box lock. It was made and shipped in Germany and came 6 weeks later. Put in the glove box lock, and it was keyed to the car. It also came with 2 spares. Those spares would open all the doors and start the car. So linking the key to the VIN is common, even if not the best idea. My current car, the dealer claims they don't know the key for. If you lose both keys at the same time (so they can't re-key) the only way to get a new key is re-program the computer (super expensive).
