I think what this story is really about is drunk texting and emailing.
The government has failed to restrict guns, that doesn't mean they don't want to, it just means that the 2nd Amendment is too clear to be overturned as easily as they would like.
The second amendment is so clear that until the 1980s it didn't cover individual ownership of guns?
The government wants to keep easily made guns out of our hands because they want to know who ha the guns.
So they just need to know who has the 3D printers.
Come on. You're smarter than that.
Oh, and the one guy that was perfect, you won't follow either
You mean Ronald Reagan, I assume?
Constitutional Amendments - those guys with wooden teeth and slaves set up a pretty nifty system if you follow it.
If we followed the "pretty nifty system" the guys with the wooden teeth set up, we'd still have slaves and half the population would be forbidden from voting because they don't have penises.
Fuck your Founding Fathers. They were a bunch of wine snobs who didn't want to have to pay taxes. All the flowery rhetoric was so much bullshit.
Yeah, screw liberty and justice
.... and freedom
Someday, you'll have to explain what the "Founding Fathers" 240 years ago have to do with "liberty, justice...and freedom".
Freedom for whom?
Why do you lie on the internet when anyone can make five keystrokes and find out how full of shit you are? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... [wikipedia.org]
Look at the date on your citation. It's 2007.
which is why Obama's administration has been doing the best they can to make firearms and ammunition as difficult to acquire as possible.
No, they talk about making firearms and ammunition as difficult to acquire as possible. They haven't done one thing in eight years to actually make it so. In your mind, is the same guy who's so diabolical and tyrannical as to force gay marriage and health care down your throat really that impotent when it comes to guns? He can wave his arms and change the Constitution and "fundamentally transform America", but he can't tighten one single gun law?
The entire gun "debate" is a sideshow to keep the yokels busy. They really think they're arming against the government.
I cannot let a story about supermassive black holes go by without posting this:
I'm not someone you would normally think would be a big fan of this music, but a few years ago, I was looking for some music to play in the background when I was playing open world racing video games, like NFS: Most Wanted, etc. One of my students game me a CD/mp3 mix with a bunch of Muse, My Chemical Romance, Meshuggah, some Finnish Dark Metal bands, and some other groups. This led me to make a 2000-song racing playlist on Spotify that I still play in the background to this day when I play The Crew. I've added in some early Stooges, Ramones, GenX, etc, as well as a smattering of rockabilly, Wu Tang and punjabi rap. There's nothing like being in the last lap of a race and having "Survival" playing in the background. It's like some cross between Queen's "We Are the Champions" and Leni Riefenstahl.
OK, carry on.
And how are you going to be sure they died of a heart attack due to fright and now due to an diet of excessive pizza, chips, and Redbull?
That's my point. Any FUD you hear about the "dangers of VR" is nothing but marketing to the gamers, who as a whole, are not a particularly bright bunch.
the goal is to prevent US citizens from 3d printing guns,
Are you so silly that you think the US government has an interest in keeping guns out of the hands of US citizens?
The US has the highest per capita gun ownership in the world. Back in 2013, there was a gun for every man, woman and child in the US, and now certainly even more than that. The US government doesn't care about your guns. In fact, they know you are statistically more likely to kill yourself with that gun than you are someone else.
Do you see Second Amendment activists using guns against the government anywhere in the US? Do you think you're little gun worries the US government in any way, shape or form?
You dumb sonofabitch, your guns are just another way the government controls you. It's population control by another name and the argument is between you and "them libruls", not between you and the government, and the government knows this. As long as you're busy marching around open-carrying and fighting with liberals over gun control, you're not aware of just how controlled you are. As long as the "Second Amendment" is a big issue in elections, they know you're taking your eye off of what's really going on. You think you're a big winner when you march down to the local gun shop and spend your disability money on guns, and the government is laughing at you.
Lynch is a great film maker, but Dune was not a good film.
And yet, I couldn't take my eyes off a single frame of that movie.
It wasn't the movie you or I wanted, but it was a marvel.
No. The gay marriage last week. I'm sure that's exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind.
Who gives a good god damn what the Founding Fathers had in mind? I'm serious. These were guys with wooden teeth who owned slaves. The streets were filled with horse shit. Is that your idea of a good time?
If you read the story, it's specifically about trying to stop the export of these blueprints, not keeping Americans from printing their own guns to carry when they go to Wal-Mart. It's not a 2nd Amendment issue.
On the other hand, given the number of guns the US exports every year, I don't understand the concern. Maybe they're just worried that 3D printed guns could cut into the profits of the big weapons manufacturers.
Violence is the United States' number one export. We do it better and bigger than anyone.
unless you get a stacked supreme court that makes shit up as they go along.
Are you still mad about Bush v Gore and Citizens United?
The amount of trade between Greece and the rest of the EU is very small.
Ah, but the inflated importance of the Euro is not small. And if other countries start to recognize that they still have some sovereign power, it could undermine the entire EU.
Because, I assure you, if the only EU countries are Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Netherlands, it does not last, because then there's no place left for them to suck wealth from.
The EU is economic colonialism couched in technocratic bullshit.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
