The export argument is obviously ridiculous on anything more than a cursory examination. I'm surprised it's managed to survive so long.

Ah, is that strong enough though?

This is true.

However, it appears that there might be reason to suspect that there might be a causal relationship. So why isn't this being investigated as a matter of urgency?

Although I think the political statement is laudable, I think these projects are misguided. Guns really need metal and 3d printing isn't ready for that yet. What they need to be 3d printing is the tools to make guns. Something that could be made cheaply that could rifle short barrels would be a game changer.

Also, instead of manufacturing parts that already exist for guns that already exist and coming up with something inferior, what's needed is some clever design. Composite barrels? caseless ammunition? Electronically controlled feed & firing?

Do you have a printer yourself? I've been thinking about purchasing/building one.

Just wait. An assault weapon ban won't pass and all the people who rushed out and pushed the prices up will have their credit cards come due. Should be some bargains on the market.

The only legislation I see possibly passing is the republicans caving on high capacity mags

Not selling. Just might buy some more on a correction.

By itself, this doesn't necessarily mean much but if it stabilizes for a while, it's some vindication of the confidence many have.

If you take the 5s from the numbers in that sentence, you are left with two ones and a seven. If you take the ones from the seven, you get five. It's inescapable.

If you read about it here, it's probably already jumped the shark. You need to get involved in the subcultures to hear about things while they're still fresh.

Shortcut to the answer: Is theft consistent with capitalism. I guess it depends what your definition of consistent is. Remember, there was capitalism even in communism. In many ways, it's incorrect to call capitalism an ism.

I had the CB talk from a passing taxi come out of my stereo speakers once.

I was worried this thread was going to be some shitty Peter Frampton reference for a minute but I think it has promise.

Knock knock

I challenge your assumption that government employees have to work to receive their living

ghetto subscribe.

Needs explanations of inflation and deflation.

Have a couple more

I have a few animated gifs. I could probably make them my avatar if that would qualify them

Because they don't care about people or what they think? The government ensures that the $$$ keep rolling in.

Wow, I've seen a couple like that, I just assumed that the foam was insulation and was just yet to be covered by the board.

I have to say, I'm not fond of a lot of modern houses. Modern materials and techniques look like they've just come out of the printer from the CAD program, none of that slight non-uniformity that gives a house character.

It might be interesting to ask ourselves why more people don't actually do that.

If ever there was a poster child for the perils of allowing government to meddle, it's Monsanto.
