Because fuck you that's why. I don't need a reason to own one especially since there's not a single god damned indication that magazine size increases anything but convenience, and sure as fuck does decrease survivability. Not to mention the fact that reloading takes about 2 seconds for someone who's spent even an hour practicing.
Bullshit. In the 10 years post Port Arthur the murder RATES in AUS and the US declined by almost exactly the same percentage. IIRC they were both within a percentage point of 31%. During that period, gun legislation tightened in AUS and liberalized in the US.
Of course, since mags can rather easily be 3D printed and don't fail until after multiple reloads, any and all attempts to ban 30rd mags is utterly doomed to failure. For that matter, stamping them out of sheet metal or using molds ain't exactly rocket science either. So pretending that banning the sale of 30rd mags will do fuck all means you've been doing way too much LSD. Not even marijuana could make you that moronic. Now get off the drugs, and stop fucking yourself with your 3d printed Obama butt plug.
The amount of stupid in your post is overwhelming. Unless you pull a study out of your ass where they injected participants with epinephrine and then had them run self defense scenarios against single and multiple opponents your opinion is worth less than the goose shit I sometimes step in when running around the lake.
Or that the dev team couldn't even apply the updates directly to the servers. They had to send patches to the guys at HeroEngine, who would then look over them and 'correct' them before applying. Then there's also the fact that EA forced it out before they had gotten around to properly testing and designing large scale high-level PVP, which turned a shitload of people off.
You might be thinking of Airbus. And that had to do with differing software. And the fact that the French and Germans work about as well together as the Quebecois and anybody else.
They searched out the Americans because they didn't want the Hugo Schmeisser treatment. Except given the nature of their knowledge they probably wouldn't have seen the light of day ever again.
Of course, the dot com crash didn't help matters when the refugees from that were looking for 'safe' investments to stick their money, adding even more hot air to the situation.
Of course, none of the repealed laws would have actually stopped anything. They merely would have made the ownership chain of the banks in question and the government justifications for the bailouts all the more convoluted. Only morons who don't know anything about finance think that the problem was the repealed laws. When the firm that held over half the subprime loans when the ball dropped was the firm that after the 94 revisions to the CRA was backed by the Clintonistas and when from a bit player to one of the biggest mortgage holders on the market, one might surmise that govt. interference might have hyper-accelerated the bubble.
I find it funny that while ostensibly illegal for the CIA to assasinate people through normal means, it is perfectly legal to assasinate them through drone strikes
Officially by 32% of the population. But given general distrust of some asshole calling up and going "do you own any guns" you have to figure that number is low by at least 10%
If you are referring to gun lovers that small is almost a third of the adult population. And that's the legal gun owners. Doesn't include all the gangbangers which would raise it by at least 5-10%. So not so SMALL a group.
Longer running? The push back against the gun control assholes has been going on since the 1968 GCA was passed. Hell, one of the gratest victories of that pushback was the 1986 FOPA, even with the illegally 'deemed' passed amendment banning new machine guns. For which, by the way, that ratfuck Charles Rangel needs to die in a fire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6Mx2UcSEvQ The amendment was ILLEGALLY attached to FOPA.
Mmmm, barrels are difficult to make properly to modern tolerances. Well, not so much difficult as requiring specialized equipment. Course, criminals don't give a damn about their weapons being at all accurate beyond 100 yards so that's really not an issue.
Total murder rates however dropped by the same amount. Which was around 30% iirc. Unless you believe that being murdered with a gun is somehow more abhorrent than by being murdered in any other way, gun soecific statistics alone are irrelevant.
Doing so would show that the US has almost double the knife homicide rate of the UKs ENTIRE homicide rate. Or used to anyway, I haven't really compared numbers for the last 5 years or so. Moreover, if you ignore murder rates, the UK is much more dangerous than the US.
The nearest gun carrier to Giffords was drinking coffee in a shop around the corner and down the street from the Dem rally being held. By the time he got there Loghner had fumbled a mag change and been mobbed.
Of course, there's the fact that things like carbon trading schemes and everything else proposed by Al Gore et al has about as much to do with the environmental equivalent of chemotherapy as homeopathy has to do with medicine
The real issue is that none of the "solutions" advocated by the vast, vast, vast majority of the AGW crowd would remotely solve oceanic acidification. It would perhaps drop the saturation point in 100 years from what the high would be without said plans, but since saturation is so slow and we are already seeing effects that means virtually nothing. Which means the only solutions are either killing off the vast majority of humanity and hoping land based carbon sinks grow fast enough to offset the current acidification, or for humans to engineer a massive man-made carbon sequestration scheme.
Wow you're stupid. In point of fact, as long as they pay the licensing fees which are a flat rate, they can play whatever song they want. It's just considered uncouth to do so when the band bitches abuut it.
Self-employed people will hit between 50 and 60% when working in Illinois for an LLC with company profits over 200,000 per employee. No matter if that money was going to be invested back into the company or not.

AHAHAAAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH *deep breath* HAHHAAAAHAHHAHAHAHHHAAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAH hee.
Do you know what all smart gun tech legislation to date has included? An exception for LEOs.

And yet, so much better than 3.5. The world's brighter, the content crunchier, and not nearly as much ability inflation.

Because given the nature of the US political system any socialized medicince scheme that passed would be as bad as the NHS if not worse.

Was in Manchester during the late 90's. The B&B we stayed at didn't come with washcloths for the shower. Towels, but no washcloths.
