it's not an explosive any more than a popping balloon is.

what happened to 6 shader cores being a big deal? now we're in quadruple digits? holy cow.

1920x1080
High settings
1x AA (and honestly dont even need that when running at this rez or higher)
60+ FPS in nearly all games including your precious "modern 3d games"...because honestly they dont push any harder now than they did a bit ago.

the card that does this for me? a 4 year old GTS 250

either your standards are too high, or you're deluding yourself as to the actual worth of running at 400000x rez with 20xAA and 50 bajillion gigawatts of memory.
probably both, as you;ve obviously falled for the graphics = gameplay fallacy.

the word "automatic" means that it performs all 4 steps of the firing sequence on its own, with the user just pressing the trigger. IE, no other actions required, like cocking the hammer, working a lever/pump, etc etc.

the steps are: Firing, extracting, feeding, Cocking, and are performed in that order.
a weapon that performs all 4 of those actions on its own with simply a trigger press is an "automatic".

Fully automatic means it will recycle and continue firing without having to release and resqueeze the trigger.
Semi-automatic means it only cycles once for each trigger pull.

invalid argument as you're you're changing the situation. the statement was "the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun".

he already has a gun. that is the situation.

"well if you stop him from getting a gun" ... no, that's not the situation. the situation is he already has it. and he will. because none of these laws have EVER stopped bad guys from getting guns. none of them EVER will.

the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, and it always will be.
and there are thousands of cases every year where guns save someones life, even without shots being fired. guns are used for protection without being fired more often than they are used to kill. you know nothing, your stats are BS.

and the suicide stat is also both BS and fundamentally illogical. there are a million things int he home that can be used for suicide; removing the guns wont change that. again, you are blaming the tool, not the internal mental problem that causes someone to committ suicide. the gun didnt make them do it, and if they didnt have a gun they could just take a bottle of pills, jump off the roof, or open a vien with a steak knife.

hes more african american than most african americans.

and liberals/democrats never, EVER vote to deregulate when paid by lobbyists to do so.

That is not Texas, as in the sovereign state government of hte state of texas.
That is an industry group representing car dealers located in texas.
There is a difference.

yes it was ALL THE REPUBLICANS.
Except...the program was established by Bush.
And the DOE overseeing it is largely apolitical, neither right nor left.

so your statements tell us more about your own bias and mental filters, than it does about the actual story.

then they are equaly ignorant. and that's a sucker bet i'd take in a heartbeat I'd be garutneed to win.

troll

troll.

no. No. you dont get to backtrack and try to sound reasonable after saying gun supporters support school shootings. Screw you troll.

oh goody. you're canadian. so now you're argument just went from being whatever is good enough for me should be good enough for everyone is now crossing international borders and adding a further level of cultural seperation.

whooosh.

No one ever thinks it'll happen to them.
Until it does. And then it's already too late if you're unprepared.
You live in ignorance of the world you live in and dont even know it.
