It's a refundable reservation so I didn't mind putting money down first, and then seeing specs tonight.

Although it's illegal to "knowingly" sell against those rules, most buyers don't live by the "don't ask, don't tell" methodology. So in a lot of cases (don't have statistics on it), sellers will want to verify the buyer's home state, and probably even keep a receipt with the name incase the gun is used in a crime, and the ATF comes knocking at the buyer's door.

You're in luck! I think USD is just what you need. It's never been used for illegal activities, and there are no clients built on top of it that add extra layers of abstraction and bring with it their own sets of problems. In fact, you can start collecting USD tomorrow and have just as likely of a chance of being rich as if your family started collecting it when they "got in early"

Let's not use HN as a place to destroy religion -- there's plenty of other venues for that.

Please don't generalize about a group of people (either managers, or republicans). Employees can be bad, too.

I first built a Gentoo install maybe around 2007, and had no problems up until the Grub install (however, I had done kernel compilations before). With Gentoo, the two hardest problems you arrive at _during installation_ are kernel configuration, and grub configuration. The former has now been solved with having great prebuilt kernels, or even just a way to use their configs. The latter may still be an issue, but once you wrap your head around it you'll be fine.

I haven't done a new install in a couple years - it just keeps running as-is, so I don't know about the state of affairs, but I would hardly doubt they got worse! I'm sure it's even easier than before.

A weekend is certainly enough time to build a base Gentoo system, and get enough packages installed to be able to use it for daily work.

If you have any problems I would be happy to help someone with a *ntoo setup! My email is in my profile if you run into any issues :)

What would "ruby" have shown up just a couple years ago? or "Apple?"

By refusing to listen to commentary that disagrees with you?

That worries us because even if the "full firearm" (assembled) might contain metal, the part that contains the serial numbers could no longer be made of polymer (this piece is technically considered the "firearm" for registration in NY, CT, and most likely CA).

I had my hunting license early, so I really take it for granted.

The statistics he listed were also for accidental deaths, in both cases.

And in most states (outside of the most infringing states -- my home state of NY is a great example), a Conceal Carry license is "how" you can carry a handgun on your person - and not the ability to own one.

I certainly do not want to kill anyone, but my safety comes first. If my safety would not be any more in jeopardy (aka, same stopping power), I'd be fine with it. My only concern is ME living.

I'm sure most pragmatics would feel the same way.

Plastic 308 rounds. Those are real projectiles, not dummy rounds.

I do not know if the entire cartridge is plastic, though. That primer definitely looks like metal. And I'm going to assume steel for the cartridge body (wow, it was hard to think of another word than 'brass').

Now, a fully plastic gun is another story...

I'm thinking seeing the question, and listing all questions so I know which -pX I want ;)
