Corruption at its finest.
Research shows time and again that corporate subsidies aren't worth it. If we really want to use tax payer money to help create jobs, put the money into infrastructure or education or healthcare.

I paid quite a bit for my Mac, but it's worth it...
It's a Unix. It works well out of the box but I can configure it almost as well as any Linux.
Not a gamer, so no reason for me to use Windows.
But yeah, fuck Windows. If I couldn't afford a Mac, I'd sure as shit be running Linux.

Submission + - TCP Flaw Lets Remote Attackers Stall Devices With Tiny DoS Attack (zdnet.com)
It lists a number of network-equipment vendors, PC and server manufacturers, mobile vendors, and operating-system makers that may be affected but notes that it hasn't confirmed whether any of them actually are. But, given the widespread use of Linux, the bug could affect every vendor from Amazon and Apple through to Ubuntu and ZyXEL. A remote attacker could cause a DoS by sending specially modified packets within ongoing TCP sessions. But sustaining the DoS condition would mean an attacker needs to have continuous two-way TCP sessions to a reachable and open port.

You can't say for sure whether any single shooting incident would be prevented by a given law. The same way that you can't say for sure that any given 100 degree day was caused by climate change.
However, you CAN say that laws restricting access to guns decrease the number of gun deaths. So says research.
Oh and we need to take guns away from people not just prevent their sale. The Democrats bills don't go far enough, but they are a start.

Gun control laws decrease shooting deaths, both homicides and suicides.
So says research and common sense.
If you don't care, then fine. Your rights are more important than (usually innocent) people's lives. But when you oppose gun control, you have blood on your hands.
As to the 2nd amendment? Stop holding it so sacrosanct. Don't forget that the 3/5 clause was part of the original constitution, too.

I say locals made their bed and now should lay in it.
*lie. Lay is a transitive verb. Lie is an intransitive verb that often takes prepositional phrases involving "in" or "on".
Many apologies, but this is a pet peeve of mine.
