It's all about knowing how to use Monado Arts. Shield at the beginning, switch to Buster when you have enough of an advantage in health, go to Smash when you feel they're low enough (~50% in my experience).
And the worst part is... ol, ul, and li elements have no styling of their own, so it must be something they're inheriting, but resetting float and display have no effect.
In heroville one of my heroes failed to use a portal when they clearly should have. They had <100 HP out of 1000 at the end of an encounter, and they just went into a new one. I think they're just broken
@LessPop_MoreFizz playing devil's advocate here, but guns aren't to blame. people are. even if guns are illegal (certain ones already are) people still obtain them. just like prohibition didnt stop alcohol.
@murgatroid99 a large number, arguably the vast majority of illegal guns were legal guns at one point, before leaving that marketplace, because there are insufficient laws to restrict their entry into the secondhand market.
I'm interested in making it harder to buy them in large quantities and resell them on craigslist to people who are not able to legally buy them at a firearms dealer.
@badp I doubt most gun owners do this. Their logic is that you can protect yourself in case of intruder, adding steps between you and your defense doesn't fit with that logic
@Batophobia I'm under the impression that in a general case, gun owners keep them unloaded because the time it takes you to be ready to intercept an intruder is fine and dandy time to ready the gun.
Having it ready and loaded would be fine if you needed to quick-draw, but the amount of opportunities wherein you're in that small "Quick draw" window and not "Time to get ready and in a safe position" and "Too late" is pretty small I imagine.
Alright, diverting from the conversation at hand that I don't want touch with a 39 1/2 foot pole: Who has Beyond Earth and what are peopls thoughts. All I've heard so far is "It's exactly like Civ V"
I'm not even making the argument that if I had a gun when someone is pointing a gun at me I would be ok. They could still shoot me while I'm drawing. My point is that "just leave" and "just disarm them" are not solutions.
@badp Not sure. But at home, it's under the control of a (hopefully responsible) adult. Once it leave the home and makes it into a school, it's under the control of a (decidedly stupid) kid.
@Koviko To become a good enough shot to hit the person you intend to in the chest at what amounts to point blank range, which is kind of hard enough to begin with.
@Koviko I didn't say the police were going to shoot. It seemed to @Batophobia's proposition was that bank robbers could steal money and just get off scot-free because they're running away.
Essentially, "we should be able to shoot someone with our money because they'll get away".
I don't see how this will ever change in the US, gun culture seems pretty deeply embedded. I just find that hard to comprehend, I wouldn't even think of getting a gun for self-defense
- Your child is being kidnapped - You are around - You are not tied down - You have a gun - The gun is loaded - The gun does not misfire - You have a good shot opportunity - You can draw, fire and aim before the kidnapper turns a corner or gets into cover - You can hit the kidnapper, and disable him - The kidnapper does not have an accomplice
In NC, you need a permit to purchase a handgun, but there is no stringent process involved with that, you just pay $5 per permit. It's just an old Jim Crow law.
As I understand, in general, the extension of self-defense laws allows for using deadly force against someone who poses a clear and imminent threat to the life of another person
The main thing that varies with respect to self defense laws is not whether you can defend yourself or someone else, or who you can shoot to defend, but rather, the concept of a 'duty to retreat'.
Historically, most states have operated under a principle where you have a duty to retreat unless doing so is unreasonable, in which case, you can be indemnified against charges because you defended yourself.
What stand your ground laws do is modify that 'duty to retreat', either by removing it completely, or removing it situationally, i.e. in your own home.
@Koviko It's not that they're flimsy, it's that they vary wildly, and, in murder cases, often result in he-said/he-said disputes where one party can't get their 'he-said' in.
