The Biggest change to yank gun laws I would make would be a safe requirement to stop kiddos and burglarists from getting them so easily (you can even have one of those clancytastic fingerprint safes next to your bed). Unless you want to count that no computers doing traces at that atf office that handles all the files from out of business gun dealerships. If the government wants to take your guns it will, centralized records or not, the nsa has unprecedented access to your poo poo and its only getting worse. On another note, saw another i8 in traffic and I would like to make an address to the 911 market: Ahem, please buy one of these instead of a 911 I know its not as sharp to drive but if you buy a new 911 you quite probably spend a lot of time stuck in traffic and for the rest of us a bmw i8 is infinitely more exciting to look at and as a bonus the i8 is the only supercar that both my mum and girlfriend think they are amazing and every girl i know thinks porsches are for douchebags. In short: Buy a sweet tronmobile instead of the boring choices you tasteless yuppies.

Eh, I like the idea, but at the same time it presents a lot of problems in the enforcement, as enforcing storage requirements necessitates both a record of who has weapons, kept updated for current addresses, and some variety of inspection authority. Firearms ownership should not be probable cause to have the cops drop by whenever to see what you have lying around your house in the process of 'inspecting your storage'.

Firearms ownership should not be probable cause to have the cops drop by whenever to see what you have lying around your house in the process of 'inspecting your storage'. I was thinking a license for ownership would require an initial inspection by either a safe installer or a cop or a home inspector, one of the main criticisms i have for the australian gun laws were that the police got mad overwhelmed initially and having the cops around to inspect is a bit uncomfortable. Perhaps with a legal framework for prosecuting people when kids got their hands on a gun when they shouldn't have. The police cant enforce every road law but as a whole people drive sensibly because they dont want to die and because if something bad happens (you crash) the cops will nail you to the wall. My biggest concern would be that the police would probably racially profile poor black gun enthusiasts who are, despite how you feel about the 2nd amendment, exercising their constitutional rights. I don't think a safe is strictly necessary, i forgot how many guns you yanks tend to have  , I think a lockable closet or whatever with a sturdy door would solve most issues with stolen guns and kids getting their hands on them.A bunch of kids died every year in swimming pools we then put up requirements for pool fencing. If you want to have a pool (you really don't, convince a family member to get one instead) you can have a pool but it keeps the kids out. Same reason i like storage requirements for guns whether it be a purpose built safe or a sturdy closet, keep the fun shotguns/assault rifles/handguns/anti-materiel rifles but stop the kids getting access.

It's not a batter of 'mad uncomfortable' here so much as our police establishment having a long history of using any opportunity as an excuse to try to make drug busts happen, because anything they happen to see while in your home/vehicle on lawful business will hold up in court as reason for a search.

I don't think you understand the mentality of the average gun nut in the US. This kind of requirement would never, ever see the light of day because *rattles off at least 15 scenarios in which locking up most of your arsenal will result in a swift death*

I was pulling out onto a side street (on my bike, so heard the exchange fairly clearly). The mid-2000s Explorer in front of me went too early, forcing a similar vintage Focus to slam on the brakes. The Focus honked and the driver yelled "gently caress you, rear end in a top hat!" The Explorer driver rolls down the window and says, "What?! gently caress you!.... Nice shitbox you got there!" Imagine a townie Boston accent if you can. At this point, I can't help but go "Ohhhhhhhhh!" The Focus driver just goes, "What?" but the Explorer has driven off. Still, pretty hilarious for the owner of an Explorer to have such a complex about lesser cars.

I don't remember off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure the engine ran fine in the first one, they needed power from the nuclear reactor/lightning to fuel the time travel system, which is just a wee bit harder to improvise.

Near the end, he goes to start it in order to get the lightning timing right, and it won't crank. Marty freaks out and has a crisis then it just magically starts, I think?

kastein posted:To be honest I wasn't really expecting it. Long story short, I went to a college friend's wedding. We had lived together right after college for like 2 years (not in any sort of a relationship), she moved to california and met a dude. I got invited to the wedding, hadn't gone to one in literally decades so I said what the hell, I'll go. She'd tried to introduce me to her dude's sister previously but said sister was 3 thousand miles away and I was like "wtf, no way that will work" and we both forgot the conversation even happened. Anyways, I go to the wedding and accidentally hit it off with her now sister-in-law, cleared my schedule and spent the entire week I was out there with her instead of meeting AI goons like I said I was going to (this was last fall when I went to California.) Turns out she was about to graduate college with an EE degree after escaping the drudgery of customer service and her lease was ending and she didn't have a job lined up yet, so she drove out here and moved in. Yes, after we'd known each other in person for a grand total of one week. We were a bit apprehensive but so far so good!

I like my boring tupperware glock but there are some guns out there that are just so much better to shoot. Eh. I owned a Kimber, and it was really nice. I owned a FiveseveN and it was just okay. Really neat engineering, but the 5.7mm round isn't good for self defense and is way too expensive for a range toy. Bulk ammo was costing me something like $8/magazine at the time, and I felt bad about blowing all that money downrange.
