I actually had no idea that was not a federal requirement. So that’s determined from state-to-state?

But would they account for all the factors that go into determining exactly how dangerous a gun is while doing so?

I see what you’re saying. I would still be afraid of the lack of public support if you dropped the new deal in whole into people's laps all at once.

Yeah, my wife and I have already agreed that as soon as we find out we’re expecting a child, the first thing we buy will be a gun safe and a separate locking storage unit for ammunition. With just us two in the house, it’s one thing—with a child, it’s something else entirely.

I don’t disagree with anything you said. Personally, if I wanted to own a gun bad enough, I’d be willing to go through those steps. However, I feel that whatever additional regulations we implement should be incremental, because if you go all-or-nothing you’d lose public support and, quite frankly, just complicate the…

I agree with you there, though I’m still not sure what else can be done about handguns short of actually making them (in whole or in part) illegal.

I was talking about the private citizens who clutch to their guns and refuse to entertain the notion of gun control, not the NRA or gun manufacturers.

We’re talking about incremental steps here. The rallying cry of the far right is that “they’re gonna take our guns away.” So...don’t take their guns away. Prove them wrong. Institute stricter gun control while looking at them with a straight face and saying, “no we’re not.” If that doesn’t work, then start stripping…

Most shooters I’ve met can operate a pump faster than a bolt, to the point that they might as well be using a semi-automatic. Granted, you’re talking about a major degradation of accuracy, but for somebody shooting up an enclosed space (such as an office or classroom), that wouldn’t be an issue. With that being said,…

For pistol sales, you’re supposed to require a purchase permit just like a retailer does. You’re also supposed to file paperwork recording the sale with the purchaser’s permit number and keep this paperwork on file.

Operative phrase being "supposed to," and even then it only applies to pistol sales.

I’d be willing to meet you in the middle on that one. Instead of requiring a policy for each gun, I’d be okay with a blanket policy that covers you, with scaling rates for the size of your personal collection. If you only one or two guns, you’d pay a minimal rate; if you have a selection so vast it can only be…

I really wish there was a politically moderate analog to the NRA. I'm not a member because I want an organization that supports and promotes responsible gun ownership and safety, not one that values personal rights over human lives.

This.

Immediately upon finishing To the Moon, I dragged myself into my wife's office a weeping mess and hugged her. I didn't let go for a long time.

I’m still convinced Trump is going to win.

On the one hand, this means I can check the Steam sale on day one and buy what I want while not be tempted with 75%+ discounts on games I’m probably never going to play by way of daily deals and flash sales.

Its similar to CoD in that you gain experience to access higher tiers of weaponry, which has to be unlocked with in-game currency (you reach level 10 to unlock a certain blaster then have to purchase it to equip it). Other than that, not really. Some weapons are scoped, but there’s no real aiming-down-the-sights and…

The hero voice-over work is pretty much terrible, except for Boba Fett. I haven’t taken the time to look up and see if Temura Morrison did his voice-over work, but if not the actor does a spot-on impression. The lines themselves are also actually pretty good.

The only real complaint I have with this game is the same complaint I have with every other shooter ever: it seems like some players can take out my character with a single shot to the elbow from the other side of the map, yet when I get in their face and hammer away with point-blank shots, they’re all like, “LOL that…

I’m a school librarian. I earn one sick day per month, two personal days per year, and am given 11 annual leave days each year. There are ten annual leave days built into our calendar, so I end the year with one to my credit. I can use it to take time off on optional work days (I can use other leave on optional days,…
