Might be better to create a biometric mechanism that "excludes" people from using the firearm. That way if it detects your child holding it then it will not fire. For you, your wife, whoever else it will work normally. Just thinking out loud....

I had an idea to make an ar15 safer but Makerbot censored me so I cant 3d print the prototype :(

no, no the real answer is to put a v-chip in the guns!!

I would insist on a system of gravity credits to offset the damage its presence does to all of the planets in the solar system when it moves about. Then we can feel good about all of the earthquakes and floods since we have a warm fuzzy pocket full of empire responsibility that we can trade amongst ourselves.

What you describe is my understanding of the role of government. To protect one man from another.

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Rich people live on the coast and poor people live further inland. The way I see it the rich people will lose their land and have to buy beachfront property from the poor people. Robin Hood economics FTW!!!

clear cutting the rainforest was a net co2 producer. Who will collect that fine?

well they did manufacture the dumb people that took the loans sooo...

odd but it seems to me that coal usage has increased ever since we discovered it and so has our average life spans. It seems that the dilution argument would have some data that is at odds with it. I dont really care either way but I generally dont go for reasoning that starts with a "you cant measure it so we have no correlation data but trust me its there" foundation.

The reason 'why' things are bad does not matter to the people funding startups.... it really doesnt matter. Let me put it this way... I don't care if the hurricane and flooding is natural or was caused by global warming... I'm not going to build a house on the beach in florida.

Its just a bad idea right now and I do not loan or invest when the odds are against me.

I can not blame them. I would not consider investing until this economic shitstorm is sorted out. If you have money and you truly think things are going to get real crappy soon you would wait also.

You have better odds in vegas than with a random startup right now....

this is the same thing. The government collects taxes from the people and gives it as a subsidy to the power company and tells them to buy renewable power... OR... they give no subsidy to the power company and tells them to buy renewable energy and then they charge the people more to offset the cost of it.

Its money taken from us by the government to pay for something they want and we have no choice. That is how a tax/subsidy scheme works. It makes the government look good for keeping "taxes" low while making corporations look "greedy and evil" for jacking up their rates

These are not the droids you are looking for (waves hand)....

I dunno, it seems like alot of people like living in the US. Are you implying that our borders are so tight that all 300+ million people here are trapped?

just sayin....

there are not many people i would have liked less to watch debate but I watched anyway.

The only thing I left with that is new was that Biden is a rude, interrupting asshole. Outside of that.... meh... nothing to see here... same stuff from both
