    Blame .gov regs for that one. If the gov didn't have the fucked up per state insurance company regulations that they do now, this wouldn't be an issue.

    Except YOU DON'T VOTE for the people making the actual regulations and enforcing this asininity. That's not how it works. Instead we'll get the Bureau of Soda Control, whose workers exist to expand their feifdom.

    How many people born into that society stay in it, and more importantly, how MANY people are participating?

    Here's the REALLY interesting question. How much of the 'sin tax' revenue will go towards corn subsidies? This being the primary cause of soda in the US being so bad for you.

    Strike that, I forgot over .50 cals are considered destructive devices. They're even more expensive to own, although the background check's pretty much the same.

    The Three Rules are basically meant for hunters. For anybody else that intends to do serious harm to intruders in their house, the rules to follow are the vastly superior Four Rules.

    Actually, it was probably designed by the german guy who did the STG 44. Not that you'd ever get the Russians to admit that they captured him and forced him to make the design.

    A 20mm weapon would be classified as an NFA weapon, which means a 6 month FBI background check and $200 tax stamp on the weapon. Oh, and allowing the BATFE unlimited access to your house.

    You mean like the Denel NTW20 they undoubtedly based it off of? Except with an inferior detachable mag system and uglier stock?

    The shell limit is either state law or went out with the SAW ban. There is a limit for migratory bird hunting though.

    Um, hate to tell you this, but the ammo shortage is because there's not enough production. The ammo companies aren't going to increase their production lines too much because the increased buying was caused first by Obama's anti-gun tendencies and has continued because of the extremely large expansion in government power, which tends to worry people who stockpile ammo. In another year or two, the ammo shortage should ease up. Unless the dems make a serious push for any type of gun control.

    Putting men on the moon when we did the way we did, while certainly an engineering feat, was fast, dirty, and STUPID. The fact that casualties were as low as they were is simply amazing. The space race was merely a pseudo-war that helped keep us and the soviets from actively shooting each other. It was the absolutely wrong way to go about establishing a serious presence in space.

    Paying attention to Stalin and Hitler is more a reason to outlaw collectivist systems of governance than it is to outlaw hate speech.

    Ahem, he used speech, along with an extremely nasty depression caused in the main by policies instituted wholly by the british and french governments to bring his party to power, AT WHICH POINT he took over the government and military, thus ending any potential opposition.

    Freedom of speech requires that agents of the government(which means anybody paid by a public university) allow you to speak with little to no difficulty unless you are actively harming someone by speaking.

    IANAL, but if I remember correctly, most conspiracy charges require proof that the conspiracy had some relatively in depth planning behind it and that actual intent to commit the act in question was shown. A couple of idiots joking about how to kill person X while sitting around on their butts would not be enough to get a conspiracy charge, but add in getting the things to enact said plan ready would.
