I sure hope you're being sarcastic.

Are you that stupid? Or are you deliberately trying to be obtuse in order to create a strawman?

If there are tens of thousands of dollars of damage due to malpractice, those tens of thousands of dollars plus tens, or maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars of damages more could be assessed against those responsible. No one has suggested otherwise. This is not a ban on malpractice suits. What's suggested is that justice is not served by a $20million suit to punish a nurse for cracking ribs while providing CPR.

Voting for someone with a desire for smaller, less powerful and less invasive government might. "Republican" doesnt fit that bill, and most people that are looking for the former often vote for the latter only out of lack of viable options. At least the bulk of professional republicans will drive us off the cliff in first gear rather than in fifth.

There are people within 50 feet of me that cant change a toner carteridge in a printer. But you're confident that every brick-stupid idiot in cubes across the country can be taught to code? You might as well try gluing feathers to their ass and teaching them to fly.

You apparently believe that no profession is of value unless it involves a computer. You are among those millions in this country that have dismissed entire segments of the workforce because you need not be concious of their existence. To you food just magically appears in the grocery store, and if it doesnt otherwise involve your daily life in some way then it's entirely irrelevant. Or is it that if the profession cant make you rich while you sit on your ass it's not worth considering. You also seem quite comfortable with the concept that people who provide you goods or service are not worthy of note.
Horse trainer. Horse Showman. Farmer. Painter (art). Potter. Saddle Maker. Welder. Farrier. Mechanic. Bartender.
(Any of these can certainly make a person a comfortable living.)

But just to prove that your "imagination" is based on fantasy, why dont you descirbe how these jobs would even benefit from coding knowledge:
Police Officer. Soldier. Lawmaker. Lawyer. Dentist. Veterinarian.

And dont give me those weird outside cases where there isnt already a freeware ap that will do whatever you describe, or an application designed for its specific purpose.

What you're saying doesnt even make sense. You're describing real-time image manipulation. That's not graphic design. That's coding. It might fall into the scope of an advanced website developer, but its not something that any rational person would expect an artist to produce. It has almost nothing to do with graphic design, except that maybe you're pulling from a base pool of images provided by a GA.

Knowing how to do it is not a prerequisite to being a qualified and effective graphic artist.

Define "free".

Rifling the barrel only helps accuracy. It's not necessary unless the weapon will be fired at range.

I didnt misread anything. The OP's statements are hard to misinterpret. He (or she) stated quite plainly that the best way to control firearms is to let firearms entusiasts kill themselves, which in turn shows a callous disregard for human life based purely on political position. It follows that this person doesnt actually wish to save lives. He wishes only to save lives HE values.

And while I am a proponent of the 2nd ammendment, I wish no harm to befall anyone, least of all my family. So if I must choose between harming one who wishes to harm me or mine, or allowing me or mine to be harmed, the choice is simple.

Great theory until you understand that a printer can print almost everything to build a printer....And unless you are planning to regulate every piece of electronics and every type of coding software, this ship has already sailed way over the horizon.

See above; too many geeks with too many skills. How long does an unbreakable phone last before it's jailbroken?

Any attempt on this front would bankrupt not only most manufacturing, it would bankrupt the state in attempting to enforce it. (Not that the idiots in congress seem to have any real concern for putting us into bankruptcy...)

Are you even cognizant of the fact that you are effectively calling for burning books? You want to prosecute every publisher of Chemistry, Biology and Physics books too? Hell, you must criminalize or regulate every University in the nation. These train people every day on much nastier things than handguns.

Or better yet, you should ban anything that promotes thought of building anything destructive. This would of course outlaw any military or history books and journals, or even blogs. Better still, you should ban anything that you feel puts any person in conflict with any other. If we all just thought exactly the same way, we'd never have any reason to wish harm to anyone else, no matter what form that violence may take?

So then you must scratch any gun-related suicides from your list of gun control arguments. That is most certainly a person knowingly putting themselves in a dangerous situation, is it not?

It certainly ensures which direction that explosion is traveling.

All else being equal, nature doesnt favor the disarmed. And a criminal isnt playing on equal footing by following your rules.

if you think this technology has reached its zenith you're out of your mind. The Genie is out of the bottle. and materials science will just be ongoing massive Genie Steriods injections.

Besides, the beauty of 3d printing is that you can print most of another printer...
