Cross bows and long bows are far more effective than a rifle. in fact an arrow will rip through body armor as it has a crapload more energy in it. Buddy of mine does demonstrations of medieval weapons and has a English Longbow that drops steel tipped arrows that were commonly used in the 1300's through modern US military body armor without effort. Most sink in 8 inches beyond the armor.

He then points out to the military guys, "it's not the arrow that will kill you, it's the pig shit it was dipped in before you were shot that will kill you"

Those things kick like an angry mule. and 200 yards? I have seen guys bulls-eye at 600 yards with one of those. That rifle is very accurate.

"Unaccountable quasi-military organizations that tend to be high on ideology and low on reason."

This describes the Law enforcement of every state and city in the United states. NYPD is better described as organized crime.

Militias are growing all over the place. It's not just a bunch of conspiracy nuts and loonies either.

I suggest you look for a guy on youtube called FPS russia. he LEGALLY OWNS all the weapons in all of his videos.
I know people that legally own high rate of fire GE machine guns. 100% legally own, yes you can!

I own two AR15 rifles, one set up for very long distance match shooting, I can get a 3" grouping at 2000 yards with my rifle. I also have several pistols that I am more proficient with than 90% of armed forces and law enforcement. I competition shoot and really enjoy it.

My father was a shotgun master, he could hip shoot up to 6 clay targets at once, he also would get bored and shoot the shells he ejected from the gun between clay targets to show off.

People who are for criminal use of guns are the only people that want to make it hard for legal honest citizens to own them.

So that you can have x86 apps that work in touch-based mode while away from the desk and switch to mouse-based mode when the user pairs a keyboard and connects an HDMI monitor.

How so? Android apps are written in Java that compiles to Dalvik VM. Free apps that use NDK, such as those on F-Droid, can be recompiled by anyone. Proprietary apps that use NDK can be recompiled by their publisher if the publisher wants sales on the other platform. How big is the remaining set of apps that 1. use NDK, 2. are proprietary, 3. whose publisher is unwilling to take the money from Android/x86 users?

Just read the original paper.

(Yes, I know it was one of the links in the OP, but...)

You mean, like the asteroid 1999 KW4 ? I'd say that the source of the Iapetus ridge has been pretty obvious since the Science papers on that body.

They are not there to protect you, never have been never will be.

except it's a butterfly dropping dead from the lack of breathable air.

My answer is to put a 500% tax on all US companies that do not manufacture their products in the USA.

That is not how the USA works.

The proper USA response is....

WAR ON CHINA!!!!!

and it will be really good for our economy, it will bring back manufacturing to the USA as well.

Only the ones that bought more house than they can afford. your home interest has to EXCEED $10,000 to be deductible outside the standard deduction. If you are middle class and living in a 1,000,000 home... you are not really middle class. Over $150K a year is "upper class" as you are in the 10%

I have a major squirrel problem.
