Maybe they can fix it for the next rev. Frankly I would just use it for a boot and then go with a NAS myself.

True but no need to put a launch complex in Texas just use the one in Florida. AKA We need the jobs since NASA got gutted.

It starts with an O.

And anyone who brings up Plame is a fucking moron, as agents who work at an ambassadorial post, as Plame already had, are never sent out into the field again.

I have a theory that says young people have a better grasp of cost-benefit analysis.

False hope, making people feel better about reality since 6000 BC.

People don't rape and then murder other people because of a lack of food, they do it because they enjoy it (and they do the murder part so they don't leave any witnesses).

With heck of a lot of weapons supplied by the government of the Soviet Union - much more than just small arms.

The NVA had anti-aircraft artillery and the like, yes, but the VC were mostly running around in the jungle with small arms, setting traps, etc.

Yes, those forces worked because they had weapons, largely small arms, supplied by other governments. When a populace already has its own small arms, it doesn't need a foreign government to supply them.

So you think the Mujahadin would have been victorious just using rocks or bare hands? Are you really that stupid?

There are no companies here "happily" supplying guns to drug cartels. We do have a Presidential administration, however, which happily supplies guns to the drug cartels. Look up "Fast and Furious". Of course, there's individuals or cartel-affiliated people who smuggle guns south of the border, but that's not the USA's fault, that's Mexico's fault for not policing their border. From what I've seen, border crossings going south usually have absolutely no guards at all, and you can just drive right through. You can't complain about people smuggling stuff into your country if you're not going to lift a finger to stop it.

The number of guns doesn't determine "gun ownership", it's the number of guns divided by the number of people. The US has 10 times as many people as Canada, and is the 4th most populous country in the world IIRC, so obviously there's going to be more guns there than most other places.

Again, last I heard, Canada has a higher gun ownership rate PER CAPITA.
