The problem is that america's education and mental health care is shockingly low. Dumb mentally ill people gaining access to guns is a silly thing. |

What's more worrying is how far they will go in implementing sharia law. Does sharia law still get developed, meaning are there more rules added ? |

i'm with adams ITT gun control solves nothing and creates problems. as for your question why you would restrict everyone for the good of the few: imo it only takes 1 columbine incident for that to be very much worth it but it's not even a relevant argument because gun control is good for everyone. the thing is, guns may make people feel safer (note: safer than if they were the only one without one, i guarantee you people feel safer here than anywhere in the US, in fact safety is not even a factor here it's taken for granted) but everyone having a gun actually makes things a lot more unsafe. police basically lose the only combat advantage they have over citizens and are much more on edge, and not just police, everyone is more on edge because anyone you pass on the street can kill you in 1 motion. just look at crime rates even in americas most prosperous cities, they are completely out of control by any western european standards. and don't give me that bullcrap about criminals always being able to get guns anyway. getting a gun here is actually really hard and the only people who have guns other than police are people in organized crime and when those people are pissed at you no amount of guns will save you anyway. about aoe adams: i quit again, playing hearthstone now |

Sorry, I was confused. Are you for gun control or against it? One sentence you said that gun control solves nothing and creates problems, then you said that gun control is good for everyone. I am sure that It is me missing something, just thought I would ask. I think Adams is for gun control laws, so I assume since you said you are with Adams, you are for gun control laws? I agree with him only that there are deeper issues to why someone is killed with a gun. But my opinion is that gun control laws don't address these issues. |

i dislike micro transactions. then again, the game is completely free so there's that. either way I don't like MOBAs generally speaking at the moment i'm playing il-2, which is a hardcore combat flight sim. I also think it's one of the most realsitic flight sims I've played up to date. the flight mechanics, or how the aircraft should behave, are really complex and feel very real (though it's hard to compare with what I know first hand as the most powerful aircraft i've ever flown doesn't come close to the heels of a ww2 fighter). stalls, rolls, slips, climbing, everything feels close to the real deal. the guys who coded this shit just knew their shit. and they still do, since the game is being actively worked on by a community, it's kind of like a fanpatch thing going on except everyone loves it. other thing is engine management. i'm not gonna lie, all i do irl is play with the throttle, i've never touched either the mixture or prop pitch. well i've burned up quite a few engines in this game, it demands constant attention (i don't burn engines anymore, that said). you can kill the engine quite easily if you're not careful. going too high in rpm, having too much rpm compared to manifold pressure, not opening rads properly (though honestly this is just a question of knowing to open radiators and how much you want to open them). you know your engine can sustain x amount of extra power for 5 minutes before dying. it's up to you to make careful use of that extra power when you need it. but that's just flying. i'm comfortable flying the bf 109 now, no problem. fighting? that's a whole different story. holy shit, dog fighting is REALLY difficult. since the flight mechanics are so well done you absolutely need to have intimate knowledge of your aircraft, or else you'll bleed energy and just straight up die to anyone half competent. it's all about energy. and position. situational awareness. not asking your aircraft to do things it can't. the 109 can't turn with a spitfire for example. you'll just lose speed too fast and the spit, with its larger wing surface, will out turn you with ease and simply shoot you down. you have to make sure to keep your airspeed up with the 109, always trade speed for altitude and altitude for speed. honestly? i'm still trying to figure out this match up. there are other things like looking for enemies. my head is on a swivel when i'm flying around. looking for other aircraft. as an ego boost, i must have flown well over 50 times and been shot down more than half the time, i've only ever been bounced (caught by surprise, from above and behind) twice. i'm somewhat good at finding other people. same can't be said about actually fighting them though. damage model in this game is also awesome. i've come to realize if you get shot at and your engine isn't smoking, then can still make it home. losing parts of your airframe is bad but it's definitely better than taking a hit to your engine. tl:dr after 2 days of intense practice, seeing this makes me really happy: http://i.imgur.com/lk3tjlY.jpg 1.14 kills is actually 2 assists really. first assist was me simply following around a group of 3 people flying together. i saw the leader dive and when i followed him i managed to get a shot into the target. poor sucker had 4 109s bouncing him from above. well, i got an assist; i need the target practice. second assist was me getting bounced (i was alone at this point). frightful thing really, i did a last-resort hartmann roll and the bugger actually overshot. a hartmann roll is where you basically spend all the energy you have into making yourself a difficult target; you lose all your speed. so when the spit overshot, i was behind and from there i attempted to shoot him down. i ended up wasting all my cannon ammunition trying to kill him but i crippled him by hitting his cooling (you see white smoke). he didn't do any damage to my engine (though he wrecked a few instruments) so i won that exchange. i didn't manage to kill him straight up. however someone else downed him 5-10 minutes later and i got credited the assist. landing after all that without getting shot down is imo not a bad sortie. best i've ever done really. much satisfaction. |

Adams, what kind of bombs are a daily threat? I believe you, just curious. It isn't hard to make bombs with every day chemicals. GS you had said that the only ones who have guns are organized crime. Isn't that the point I was making? Gun control laws only stop law abiding citizens from getting guns, not criminals. The number of illegal gun incidents is so vast that the number of legal gun incidents is literally negligible. It is my opinion that they are fighting the wrong battle. |

It puts a barrier between first time offenders obtaining a weapon before they commit a crime, most of which won't attempt or know how to get in contact with the criminal underworld to obtain them. From all the big mass shooting in america, I didn't hear much on them being repeat criminals. (Note: Criminals, not repeat serial killers) "A good guy with a gun" as the NRA put it did not stop the mass shootings that happened in america this year, they simply ended some of them before they got larger. Everyone having a gun isn't a deterrent when you have a failing education system and a mental health care system on the level of 3rd world countries. |

No shit? That is crazy... Because you need me to explain it, do you mean pipe bombs, dry ice bombs, chlorine/tin foil bombs, nitroglycerin bombs, or nuclear/government bombs from other countries? You could put it into one of these categories if you like: Chemical, pressurized, or nuclear. |

That is because they (the media) only cover the few instances that involve a legal weapon. They always seem to forget to cover the thousands of illegal gun violence crimes. For every legal gun instance, there are hundreds, if not thousands of crimes committed with an illegal gun. Remember, media covers something that is "out of the norm". To me, it is stupid. When that out of the norm rich white community incident happens, it is plastered over the entire news world. When a group of black or latino kids get gunned down in a drive by, no one bats an eye. In my eyes, both are tragedies, and one happens more than the other. Like I said, we are fighting the wrong war. If you want to look at it rationally, which has better opportunity for improvement and to save lives? stopping 1 incident or 100 incidents. The opportunity to save more lives isn't with combating the legal gun system. My point is that the better opportunity to save lives is combating the illegal gun system. The health care point is very valid though. The point is that even if the guys that commited the mass shootings can't get a gun, they will find other ways. Gun violence will be bomb violence. It won't go away, people mentally ill like that (in the case with mass shootings on media) will kill. With a gun, a bomb, it doesn't matter. They will kill. Take the theater shooting in Colorado for instance. That guy rigged his apt with enough home made explosives to blow the entire apt. complex sky high. Luckily, since police knew he had been the shooter, they took extra precautions with his apt but it could have been worse. Had he not had access to guns, he probably would have just blown up the theater. How many more deaths would that have contributed to? In this case, it wasn't a lack of failed gun control laws that happened. It was a break down in mental health issues that didn't identify the individual in time. In summary, both mean that we are fighting the wrong wars. We need to be looking at two things instead of tighter gun control for legal firearms. 1) We need to look deeper into mental illness and identifying/classifying of it for risk of individuals to themselves and other individuals. 2) We need to fight a better battle on illegal fire arms. Both would do SO much more than making all fire arms illegal. Edited by ryker, Dec 27 2013, 12:00 AM.
