Half of me is amazed by the “customize your own soft drink” machines while the other half is appalled.
The best documentaries about aspects of America are those made by foreigners.
@drewpotential Correct. The projectile must gain its velocity from an “explosive detonation” to fall under the NFA.
@drewpotential Seems like NFA requires there to be “fire” for it to be a “firearm” thus probably not any more than an air rifle would be.
@drewpotential Are they covered by the National Firearms Act of 1934? If so, they might be an AOW, in which case BATFE would want to chat.

@jbeardsley If you have one of those fancy microwaves, sure
A layman who needs to microwave something for a minute and a half hits 1-3-0-START. An engineer hits 9-0-START, or even better, 8-8-START.

@IsCool I’m more interested in studies like this (which still admit no causal inference) http://t.co/xUBCEWd2
@IsCool Duh, and if you ban cars there will be fewer traffic related deaths.
I’m not slacking off, my code’s compiling / being reviewed / running unit tests / running a MapReduce job / AWS is down / network problems!
@emilepetrone @akulbe “shot/killed by/with/via a gun” makes sense to me… not “guns murdered” My take on gun control: https://t.co/MF3JADsy
@emilepetrone Would you agree that Shaun was going for sensationalism since he said “GUNS murdered” rather than “PEOPLE murdered” people?
@emilepetrone @IsCool I’m saying that throwing out statistics without proper context is not a valid argument, it’s simply sensationalism.
@IsCool @emilepetrone Those numbers are meaningless without crime rate per capita statistics & stats of homicide via other weapons.
@MarcEnsign Such is life. Every decision we make carries risk, like driving to a movie. It only takes one idiot on the road and you’re dead.
@MarcEnsign I just like pointing out factual errors. Gun control is a nice idea but it’s impractical for a multitude of reasons.
@MarcEnsign @Salon An AR-15 can not fire further & more accurately than a hunting rifle, nor are the rounds more deadly. Quite the opposite.
Most people worry about their own bellies, and other people’s souls, when we ought to worry about our own souls and other people’s bellies.

It’s an unfortunate fact that peace among all nations would be a disaster for the USA. Don’t expect us to pursue world peace any time soon.
