I get that, and I'm sure there's a fair bit of LARPers out there with their tacticool gear just itching for a reason to use it.

But the highest gun violence in this country is done by handguns, and now we have glock modifications that make them fully automatic that anyone can buy off what is essentially Etsy. Are we going after assault weapons because they're an easier target than semiauto pistols and trying to make some headway against the gun lobby, or are they just the big bad right now because of our profoundly sick society.

Not saying most people should own one, but the AR platform has value in that it relatively cheap, fully modular, and has a variety of uses. I know it's a sour subject, but objectively it's a great tool.

Gave me something to think about, thanks.

Try it over ice with a quarter lime and a dash of salt, you'll wonder why you hadn't been doing it all along.

I think you're right if talking about heroin, but religion can calcify a worldview that is not representative of objective reality. Maybe 1000 years ago its pros outweighed its cons, but we should not make any room in this world for other-ness, and especially not things like genital mutilation and child marriage.

LDAP, maybe? And you can share printers in Linux as well.. as long as you have drivers.

Why is that? The first time I noticed it was a few years ago. I know some circles think that not-gun-people thought AR=Assault Rifle, which maybe some did, but why the inaccurate blanket statement? Also, shouldn't we be going after handguns since they're used 4-5x as much for gun deaths in the US? I just don't get it.

The terminology isn't arbitrary, and the story was about a teacher getting shot (with a pistol) and the legal battle going on with her claim. But good job on the emotionally charged comment. If we wanted ban all diesel trucks to help the environment, would we picket with signs that say ban leaded gasoline? That would make us look ignorant, right?

Origins was a masterpiece, they changed the formula wildly for the other games in the series - if j remember right I think the second one was more ARPG/Isometric

If you haven't tried Dragon Age: Origins, I'd go for that. Nexusmods has Spanish conversion mods and it's a great balance of RP and turn-based combat.
