    Midproth got a reaction from Saint Mark in Hello   
    The title of this post isn't particularly creative, but it is to the point.
    I created Midproth about two years ago, but real life business came up, and the account was deleted due to lack of use. I never felt especially compelled to recover it. until now, that is.
    The name Midproth came from a random name generator, as did the capital city. The national animal is the anglerfish, probably inspired by blue planet.
    I am now trying to take part in the game to the extent that I decided to actually created an offsite account, am applying for citizenship, and am shipping 23.7 metric tons of chocolate to Darkesia.

    I'm going to vent.
     
    It's stupid to think that banning AR 15s could have prevented the recent school shooting.
    It's stupid to not ban AR 15s, no one can make a coherent argument for a private citizen to own one. But remember it's just symbolism, there are 300,000,000 guns in the USA.
    It's ridiculous that the FBI didn't do something about the shooter.
    I bet they get 10k of those warnings a month, humans-mistakes are pretty common.
    I've never owned a gun legally myself, 35 years ago I illegally owned an Uzi machine pistol with a fully automatic trigger mechanism. I lived in Illinois at the time so they were illegal there. I traded it for a 10 speed bicycle, once I sawed a limb off a sapling with a magazine I couldn't figure out why I'd want to do that again.
    Very little if any property crime in my area, everyone owns a gun (except me). You walk in someone's back yard without a compelling reason you're putting your personal safety at risk. More likely from their dog, I doubt Mr and Mrs Average could hit a Suburban with their Glock 17 from further than 10-15 feet. Ricochets on the other hand could be a problem. There is a reason the AT+T guy and the Charter guy where those neon vests and it isn't traffic. It's to make sure Mr/Mrs Suburbia don't light them up.
    Cnn is a fucking joke, so is Fox. Chris Cuomo should be flayed, while tied to Shawn Hannity, being flayed at the same time.
    Not really but surely neither one is as stupid as the characters they portray on their nightly BS, if they are God help us all.
    It's too bad that outright lies and propaganda is peddled as news, Reality TV for ratings rather than facts is all it is.
     
    more later, time to go pay for this mess...
