Too much Mannix, Cannon, and SWAT.

That black, cylindrical object is an ancient artifact known as a "film canister."

You make it sound like that's a bad thing, my day isn't complete until I've watched a baby-mouthed crotch cannon fired from a homo erotically themed Segway.

i dont think this is actually a Lego cannon. The lego is just for decoration

Like Switzerland, right?
>> ^L0cky:
That's not an idealism, that's pretty much most of Europe.


Hence why I said most.


Which is what I figured, however, if you take a look at the noise in the numbers, Switzerland is within noise of Iceland, Germany, Austria, France, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Would you still call it most?

For every enthusiast per capita the US has like this guy, Switzerland has one with half as many guns. Does it really make a difference? Is Europe really that different?

Frankly, I come from the North East. I still feel an attachment to the revolution, and if you think about, it wasn't that long ago. The minutemen weren't paranoid, they were prudent. And they were packing cannon, the nuclear arms of their day. While I think it's worth carefully considering where lines are drawn, e.g. "small" arms, I think most criticism of gun ownership is alarmist, and heavily influenced by confirmation bias and sensationalist media. Sure they're dangerous. But so are lots of things. Accepting a dangerous world is the cost of living in a free society.

I'm sympathetic to the view that "well regulated militias" should probably keep large stores of arms away from their residences, and certainly children. However, we have no strong evidence this guy has kids around. I guess we can quibble about fire, however there is not particularly much in the way of ammunition present. Remember, guns don't kill people. Bullets kill people. Personally, I suspect this guy is a gun salesman. That would explain the quantity of guns, and the relative lack of ammunition. Further, it would explain the youtube video that appears to be an advertisement for a gun cabinet. I don't begrudge this guy his vocation.

@grinter eww... cannons are so third world.

And they didn't use their cannons to take it down because:
A) Missiles cost more!
B) Putting all the pieces back together to try and identify the source of the drone would have been too easy.

God I miss Battlefield I used to do this all the time in BF2 not to mention carpet bombing snipers with the bomber jets. Ahh good times!


Might be worth going back to with the upcoming Armored kill expansion. No carpet bombing but the cannon on the AC-130 will do the job.

Since I started this, would you mind pointing out where in my post I refer specifically to "forceful rape"? Yes, statutory rape laws that ignore informed consent are a problem (note that they are practically unique to the US). But that is not the subject here, at all. What I (and those who agree with me) take issue with here is Kreegath's mocking of a legitimate criticism of sexism and interpreting it as "man hating and fear" (edit: a common sexist trope). Returning to your comment, it's all good and fine to "not bring gender into it", so long as one remembers that men and women are not equal before sexual abuse and its status in most societies.

You know what else is fucked up, everyone in the world lashing at this comment immediately jumps to imagery of forceful rape. However, an 18 year old that has sex with a 17 year old is considered rape all the same. Or, a person who has sex with a mentally retarded adult is also considered statutory rape. In california, if two minors have sex with each other, they are considered to have raped each other. Further, the act itself is its own evidence of guilt, meaning that the accused individual(s) have no defense.
Before people blow off their cannon MRA junk, note that I never brought gender into this. Guys and girls are equally screwed by this law (in court AND in jail).

How do you know if you're suffering from man hating and fear? ♫
I'll tell you how to spot, man hating and fear ♪
You're not sure you've got, man hating and fear ♬
Well here's a little lesson for you,
Tell me if the following things are true:
I think all rapists are men - man hating and fear
I think all victims are women - man hating and fear
I rub out all grey areas to prove a moot point - man hating and fear
Men should have no rights to defense against allegations of rape - man hating and fear ♬

Oh, looks like we've got an MRA-hole in the house. Let me guess: you're a white male with malignant priviligitis, amirite? Did any one line of the song suggest falsely accusing someone of rape? Or calling all men rapists? Or hating men?? Oh wait, you ticked the sarcasm tag, that makes it all an a-okay bit of humour right? Wrong.
Your kind disgusts me. And by that I don't mean "men"; no, real men (and women, and anyone in between) know to respect another person's consent and their choice to retract it at any given moment. No, by "your kind" I mean the slimy, any-one-who-points-out-the-sexism-in-our-society-is-a-man-hating-feminazi-and-fear-mongerer kind.
I won't stoop to the MRA-low of wishing rape on you, because I would not wish it on anyone. Instead, I'll kindly suggest you go fuck yourself, because anyone in their right mind, male female or otherwise, would not consent to it with you if they knew your sexist stance. /angry rant
quality song btw

You know what's fucked up? Yesterday I learned that 31 states in the US can make the mother of a rape conceived child to allow visitation rights of the father/rapist, they can even get custody! WTF??
