According to the x-cop investigating the new-town shooting, there were no kids there. If the government is going to fake things, or even hire the assassins, then it doesn't matter if guns are outlawed, because the government will get the anyway.
I like the auto myself, but my wife went with the revolver in part because it is simpler and there is less stuff to go wrong. And 7 rounds is probably more than you need in a normal home defense situation. Plus hers is 357 magnum so it's got quite a lot of power, but for practice you can shoot the 38 special. It also has a seven inch barrel, so all the things you are complaining about are not even problems with hers. It even has a pretty cool day-glo orange site that is easy to line up.
And I have seen an auto 9mm that would jam up at least once for each clip we ran through it. My step-dad didn't keep that gun very long. So yeah, it happens, but probably less with a good brand.
Revolvers are more reliable if unmaintained. It does not matter what you should do. It matter what actually happens. And if you did not do the maintenance that you should have done, the revolver would be more reliable. It's pretty simple and the guys at the gun store made this point to my wife when she was looking for a gun. The simpler it is then the less things that can go wrong when you need it.
I won't argue that you shouldn't just leave a gun unattended and unused for a long time. The point isn't what you should or shouldn't do. The point is whether the gun will work or not when you need it. If you left it unattended and it jammed or the battery died or you can't even find where you put the watch (because keeping the watch in the same case as the gun would defeat the point), then you might as well not have had a gun in your house.
Sometimes the call you might want to make would be to AAA and not only to 911. I don't think there is a mandate to allow calls to roadside assistance when you have no carrier or sim card installed.
I think what you say makes a lot of sense. But you should look at your statement about local gun restrictions and what the Supreme Court (perhaps it was state courts) has decided on them. Chicago has just had it's handgun restrictions deemed unconstitutional and the same was found for Washington DC recently. Illinois was also required to implement some sort of concealed carry permit process when they didn't have one before.
I will continue to fight for restrictions on guns that match our laws and rules for all other types of dangerous machinery and equipment. Mostly because gun advocacy groups themselves are dangerous and harmful to society and our country as a whole.
If you fight for gun restrictions so hard, then why do the police always get the exceptions? Gun free zones, the police don't have to leave their guns in the car. When you take the guns away from the biggest criminal gang first, then you can talk to me about giving up mine. I really love it how the parents of some dead school kids are all there in the news talking about getting rid of guns, and how scary guns are, while surrounded by swat teams with assault rifles. It's just full on hypocrisy and makes me think maybe that shooting was faked for political reasons.
Yeah, the camera that disables the gun if it isn't aimed at a specially designed target is really a "great" idea for a defense gun -- NOT. I think the gun in question is only intended for target practice.
People aren't very good about checking the condition of their gun either.
Or if the safety is off.
That's why it is nice to have a revolver with no safety.
Or if it's loaded.
That's why I keep it loaded. It isn't much use in a home invasion if it isn't loaded.
Or if the kid didn't move it from the usual place when he showed it to his friends.
That's why you teach your children how to use guns at a young enough age that they understand it isn't a toy and they don't touch it.
There's already a lot of uncertainty. You can't be sure of anything if you don't take care of it.
So no, a battery isn't an issue, it's another safety.
Electronics fail, batteries die, the more complicated you make something, the less reliable it is. That's why a revolver makes a better home defense gun than one with a clip and a slide and a safety. Those guns jam and misfire much more often when left there untouched for a year or more than the much more simple mechanism in a plain revolver.
In my state you do not need to register your guns. So even if I joined the NRA, they would not have a record and catalog of my guns. I suppose you could guess that I have one if I were a member, but you could not know how many, or even be sure that I did have one.
For Hackers at least, I assumed (or suspension of disbelief trick) they were using hacks they had already figured out previously. I am referring in particular to when they were having the contest to harass the Secret Service guy. But I do get your point and other hacks in that movie and other movies do seem to happen pretty quickly with very little work.
Actually, fuel is over 50% the operating expenses for long haul freight movers. It is their biggest expense and they would love to bring it down even more. And I don't know why you say it is inefficient because it is not. CSX can move a ton of freight over 400 miles on a gallon of fuel. They are asking GE and EMD to make natural gas locomotives so they can save fuel costs even more. So yes, fuel costs are a big deal.
I see the stock values going up and down everyday without anything the company is doing being a cause for it. In fact, the times when there is a direct cause for the change in value of a stock coming from something the company did would be a very small percentage of the time. So to me, the stock market also seems completely artificial. Plus, with how much the traditional market is rigged and manipulated, the BitCoin market would be a safer bet.
"All the appeals that death row inmates use before being put to death cost more than just imprisoning them for life!" Maybe if we cleaned up our unnecessarily exhaustive legal process that has basically become a job program this wouldn't be an issue.
Yep, just give the power of execution right over to the armed thugs (police) in the first place. Then nobody had to pay for judges to hold unnecessary trials and we don't need to spend money for these expensive prison systems. Let's just go full on Judge Dredd style!
Yeah, but you have to buy the bullets for each execution. I say we bring back the old guillotine. Each execution is free after the purchase of the device. It gives you plenty of viewer excitement. And I don't see any way for it not to be quick and painless.
That's why you just hook a PC up to your TV. Then it's only one box and not a whole bunch of them. Of course I say this, but I watch Netflix using the WiiU or BlueRay player, and not the MythTV box that runs Linux and therefore does not even play Netflix shows.
I would imagine the clay tablet becomes even better when civilization gets burned to the ground. It would turn from a clay tablet into a ceramic tablet, which is even stronger.
Because you can't have dozens of cables running to each house. Usually there is only one option for cable connection, possibly two. Just like you don't have different electric grids covering the same city.
You do want the fat. Studies have found that people who eat fat, are not fat, while the people who don't eat fat are fat. They also looked at young children as they first started drinking milk. The children that drank non-fat milk got fat even when they weren't fat to start with, and the children that drank full-fat milk did not.
The container that the edible bottle came in will still count as waste. Unless you plan on having a filthy bag that all the kids have been fondling on the grocery store shelves be the actual thing you are going to eat.
I have had some Mantis on my front porch for a summer and had one as a pet for a while. I also noticed the strange pupil that looks right at you no matter where you move. They do turn their head to look you in the face, so they can see clearly. The pupil is actually an optical illusion though. The eye is compound and the individual eye segments that are aligned right with your viewpoint show as the dark spot. Imagine a large pile of drinking straws all lined up together. You would only be able to see through the few of them that point directly at you and the others would block your vision.

The police just start shooting innocent people a lot earlier so there is less chance for someone to be a violent attacker that grabs at the gun.
That's like asking for DRM that works correctly in every situation and allows fair use. I don't see it happening.

I remember a couple of years ago there was a sign like those that was "hacked" to show a message about a zombie outbreak. That is a pretty good one.

It's probably related to how they hold their arms when sitting still. It looks like they are praying.
