If you are being given freedom, then you are by definition not free. Further, anything that is given can be taken away. Think about that next time you are being groped by the TSA. Especially if it is not in an airport.
Yup, going to need a laser scinterer at least, which is much more robust, as it can make any shape you want out of METAL. Even then, I don't know if the barrel would be resilient enough to withstand a bunch of bullets going through it.
Actually, it does work, and quite well and easily. Black powder is not at all complicated, and has a known amount of force behind it, and burns at a known rate (controlled by the composition).
Guns are also used for self defense from governments. Being on a government list makes it easier to have those guns confiscated, as happened in Germany shortly before the genocides began (among many other countries).
Just because the world is fairly peaceful today doesn't mean it will always be that way.
I wonder if your study included the decreased likelihood of being the victim of any form of genocide in its statistics?
Probably not.
Eurotrash go a couple of generations without a genocide in their specific country, and they think they can never happen again. Guess they didn't pay much attention to the war in Serbia. But hey, Serbs are subhuman, so fuck em, right?
I notice you don't give a second's thought to the oppressed people throughout history who could have used this technology to defend themselves from brutal government oppression. Would Hitler have been able to kill the Jews if they had been equipped with single shot disposable pistols? Could he have rounded up similarly equipped Gypsies? How would Stalin's purges have gone if after the first one every door they kicked in had five to ten people armed with these behind them?
No, it's all gun nuts, because human nature has certainly changed in a fundamental way over the last 70 years, and it could never happen here, and this time will be different!
Yes, much better to have it so heavily regulated that it can't be moved at all, and they store it all on site forever and ever until you have a 50 meter tall pile of nuclear waste, then containment fails, and it all falls into the river, killing everyone and everything downstream. Yeah, too bad we didn't allow LFTRs to be built, which would have consumed all that shit as fuel, leaving only useful isotopes as waste.
What would China look like today if they had the Clean Air and Water Act? They would still be a land composed of 99% rural peasants starving and scraping away at the land. You can't support environmental regulation until you have an industrial base. Nevermind the amount of regulation on the nuclear industry, which is so severe that nothing can be done at all, except for concentration of more and more nuclear waste on site until something goes *pop* and everybody dies. Thanks regulation!
Uhhh, no. If you want to talk about US genocide in WWII, look no further than the firebombing of Tokyo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebombing_of_tokyo).
Ever hear of "malicious prosecution"? Frivolous lawsuits have been taken to a whole new level with this, such that corporations can bum rush the system to get people thrown in jail, even circumventing maximum allowable sentences. The judge in this case should be disbarred at the very least, and if it can be shown that they accepted money or favors for a favorable ruling, then they should be executed.
It used to be that a corporation could sue you and ruin your life, but now they can send you to prison to be ass raped. Unbridled fascism is what this is.
Corrupt government officials should be hung from lightposts. The prosecutors and those who passed this sentence should both face the hangman's noose for this perversion.

What net neutrality laws? I thought those were never implemented.
"Hurr durr u dun gree wit me so ur stupd."
Works well for the Swiss. Lowest crime rates in the world, EVERYONE is armed, and all the young men are armed with automatic weapons.
Look at Switzerland and say that again.
You really see criminals doing this?
You have a strange, sad little mind.

At that point, you would do well to move to a Metal Storm approach.
Plastic bullets are good for less than lethal applications, but not much else.

Yeah, you only get anally raped on the way into the US, not on the way out.

Yup, ask any member of the various police forces in burgeoning police states throughout the West.

lol, so South Korea has no safety regulation on nukes? Grow the fuck up.
The nuclear regulation in America is very simple. It's just a sheet of paper with one word written on it: NO.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nothing next to that.
*Woosh*
Wait.

A private person can prosecute a case that results in jailtime?
I didn't think it was possible to be MORE fascist than the Nazis, but by God they're trying (assuming this is true).

We can't observe it through the cloud cover. It is likely that much of the surface is plastic, and that there are thus no plates at all.
