The real winners here will be the guns and ammo shops.

im starting to get convinced that this is all a setup to keep ammo scarce.

You say that, but they will follow orders whether just or not.

The military tends to be a different beast. They have enough power to either not abide by unjust orders or can remain neutral. Most people join for a wide range of reasons (college, citizenship, benefits, leg up in other careers), little of it tends to be cause they want power over individuals or if they do its towards those who have no affiliation to their home and even then that section encompasses maybe 3% of it (the GITSUM crowd).

Id be more worried about police forces, many of whom (not all obviously) join specifically because they want control and power trip towards their own communities and citizens. As well as being more willing to cover up and keep quiet about unjust events. of which police are much more easier to "deal with".

OT: Like every other similar statement they never actually think what goes into an actual fight nor do they care about contradicting their own words. if a government is willing to kill you, why the ever loving fuck wouldnt you want to atleast TRY to protect your self? "citizens dont need weapons of war" as said government threatens its own citizens with "weapons of war". saying an AR15 wont amount to anything while touting 1/6 almost ended democracy via 200 UNARMED idiots taking selfies.

plenty of land to take advantage as well. around here i can buy 100 acres for $80k and not be bothered too much as far as what i can do on it (though this definitely varys heavily by county). taxes as long as youre out in the sticks are dirt cheap too.

Why do they restart the game? Not even ammo for it early on?

unless youre playing on easy theres a grand total of 12 extra rounds you find for the thing in a entire playthrough which is enough to beat nemesis once let alone the 8-9 times you can actually fight him. and crafting more takes a lot of gunpowder which means less ammo for everything else.

the GL is just more versatile. you can find more ammo for it and crafting ammo doesnt take as much resources. the freeze rounds for it are also the most powerful to use against nemmy. the only real downside is that he can dodge GL rounds, he cant dodge actual magnum bullets.

eh, i usually go full hg/sg anyway and really only use the magnum or gl for a free down on nemmy.

the OG tomb raiders had a significant emphasis on puzzle solving, platforming and exploration with some combat sprinkled in. they didnt hold the players hand and were very unforgiving. but because of that there was a satisfaction in their elements.

the newer TR's lost a decent chunk of those elements by trying to go the uncharted route and by trying to cater to a wider audience. that said TR 2013 and Rise has better gameplay than any of the uncharted's with maybe the exception being gunplay, but then thats only really good in Uncharted 4. Uncharted is good at making its systems flow into each other, but individually there isnt much to any of them. their platforming is substantially more automatic, puzzles are basically spelled out for you, nothing really to explore that adds anything to the game. no real customization or upgrading for anything (not a huge deal). the gun play is good and it gives you some options in how to tackle that, but once again that aspect never really got fleshed out until 4.

shadow runs into a problem i had with U4 in that the pacing is kinda fucked. lots of long stretches of certain sequences with not much happening. but atleast with uncharted you had the writing to keep you interesting. TR has always had eithe rmediocre or shit writing, granted that was never what the series was about where as that was always what uncharted was about. Rise is a better personification of current TR. its systems are more fleshed out and its pacing isnt a mess (assuming you dont go nuts with the optional stuff).

well, for the most part.

obviously not. now maybe at $750 a day

Scholar of the First Sin is 2 with all dlc and "remastered" visuals.

as for which one is "better" then id go with 3. 2 is much longer of a game and it has some pretty unique stuff going for it, but its also really inconsistent with its design. for every great level, boss design or setup theres another that will probably piss you off. that said 2 is still good. there is not a bad game in this series.

20 other states in the country already have this with another (Tennessee) going it very soon as well. Almost half the country. this isnt rare or unheard of.

where may one find such a creature? i need to know so as to stay far far away, obviously.

(puts on NRA gun-selling suit)

Good. The AR platform in general can be used for everything and is what you make of it. Saying this isnt good for this or that knows NOTHING about them (outside of maybe going concealed in some short shorts during summer time).

remember to drink lots of fluids.

yes, lets provide even more trauma and anxiety to kids where the statistical likelihood of showing up in a untargeted school shooting is lower than that of getting hit by lightning.

If you thinking shooting a real gun in response to a paintball gun is justified then you need to re-evaluate your life

not going to say its justification for shooting at someone, but there is a reason helmets and face shields are required to play paintball. you can get killed by them if hit in the right spots and you do have assholes who like to freeze the balls increasing the likelihood of severe damage.

murder=/=killing

killing tends to be a grey area. obviously you dont want poeple getting killed, but situations vary based on the context.

back of the chemical shed for both of them.

whats a gun?

depends on where you are. in my neck of the woods minimum wage is 9.6 so at 16.5 id say its worth stomaching working at walmart. but for 13.6 minimum id probably pass.

an armed insurgency wouldnt be fighting the military. things would be bad enough with mutinies with in the system considering their political demographics. that would largely leave out major fire power that the military has access to of which its generally not a good idea to drone strike its own citizens in front of the whole world/country. its a good recipe to turn more of the citizenry against the system and makes other countries salivate at the thought of getting in on the fun. police would be the major threat who are much more susceptible to small arms fire.

its also not a good idea to snatch people up and cause shoot outs all over the place. the more of a ruckus they cause the more people take notice and start asking questions. i have no doubt they have the capability to make people disappear without a fuss, but given how shitty the system is already chances are high they are going to fuck up quite a bit, not to mention if things get bad enough people are already going to be on alert. probably not best to do that with tens of millions who could have a glock on their hip while out and about and an AR at their bedside.

assuming you can work with the camera angles, yes.

its almost like a lot of different factors like a nations history and infrastructure along with the geographical location make for a completely unique living experience and its not as stupid as place good because all white

You can say the same for other countries and their gun laws. Outside of maybe the UK most European countries dont actually have that restrictive laws in place, atleast not much more (or in some cases less) than even california. i wouldnt really say its more the racial make up (though i do think theres some of that at play), but rather the other systems in place that tends to cut down on violent actions. easier access to healthcare, better job security, better access to education and college options, less wealth disparity, more optons when it comes to voting and parties to represent them ect. and a whole host of quality of life aspects which makes people more content with their lives (and more docile to an extent) which cuts down on the will to lash out for a host of other reasons.

though a good chunk of those aspects tends to come from money saved thanks tot eh US forking over obscene amounts of money to the UN for defense. money that then those countries can put into their healthcare, educations ect.

if the US had more social safety nets in place youd see significantly less gun violence and violence in general as well as suicides. theoretically you wouldnt even have to touch guns and piss over peoples rights to make a significant dent.

Mead posted... It should be tougher to get firearms by any means.

it should also be harder to speak your mind, especially about the government and people on the internet. see how that works?

Jen0125 posted...

That argument falls flat when you consider every state has their own gun laws and it's easy to travel with them.

would it have stopped this shooting? did he get his guns illegally?

if only california had gun control.

id believe it.

assuming it was kept at freezing temps the whole time, yes it should be edible still. dunno about the taste. i like to use older meat in more soups, chilies and stuff with a lot of other flavors at play.

Almost half the country already has this. This is not a shocker.

does this include just the gun or all the other extras on it?

Either way i paid for a Knights Armament SR15 (ar15) upper which was $1700 which is paired with a BCM lower that was around $300, so $2000 for the rifle.

if you you want to include all the other shit on it (acog, sling and mounts, steel back up sights ect.) then the total for the rifle is closer to $3200.

Probably wouldnt pay more than that unless i had fuck you money.

friends Barrett M107A1.

guilty of murder? no.

well, yeah. its one of the games that helped define my childhood.

i see a lot of people filling up their tanks. not so much filling up a ton of other containers.

What do yall think about RE3?

3 is really good with a lot of unique features. the remake butchers most of them, cuts content and adds shitty "modern" stuff that shouldnt be in it. decent game still, but holy shit at the difference between 2 remake and 3 in regards to their originals.

the only one id say you can flat out skip is 6. im one of the few who actually liked it, but its still kind of a mess of a game and you time can be better spent on the others. I also have some pretty big issues with Rev1, but its still decent.

in general the holy trinity of the series tends to be REmake 1, RE2/REmake 2 and 4. 5 is also great if you have a coop partner.

eh, id be happier if i could retire soon. 200% better than where i was when i was a teen though.

first it was bbq chicken with mashed potatoes on the side.
then it was mixing them all together
now its dipping the potatoes into bbq sauce and leaving the chicken.

lol

i "only" make 65k, but where i live i can live cheaply and im a cheapass in general so it all goes a lot further.

20% necessities
10% general savings
50% investments and retirement accounts
20% fucking around money

i coud retire right now if i really wanted to due to investments, but i want to make sure im covered especially when i want to retire on a good chunk of land and try to build a house from the ground up on.

if this is for serious use, none of them. if its for fun then maybe the lever action one could be cool. outside of the vepr and maybe one or two others, semi-auto magazine fed shotguns dont have a great reputation.

So every time you do anything in the house you bring your gun?

personally speaking for me its more of the ritual aspect of getting ready in the morning rather than if i feel i need it at home. put my pants on, belt on, wallet in back pocket, keys on the belt loop, phone on left hip, gun at 4o'clock position on right hip ect. if im home it doesnt mean im going to immediately take all of that off including the gun.

as far the likelihood of actually needing it, it tends to be low, but then there are many precautions everyone takes everyday that dont end up happening to them nor probably would ever happen to them (fire extinguishers for example. i own many of them yet never had a fire in my life, but i understand the importance of them and how bad of a situation you could be in if you didnt have one). its the same concept with a gun. better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. same thing with the AP ammo and body armor aspects. i like to cover my bases to the best of my ability.

iv always been taught to carry chambered. not as much for the time aspect, but it means having to fumble around with an extra step which can increase the likelihood of a problem.

why do you need these

armor aint gonna pierce itself.

gun shows have gotten worse over the years. you may find something interesting tucked away behind the piles of over priced shit, but its pretty rare. and this panic buying isnt making things better. youd have a better chance of getting something good at a pawn shop.

used to love going to them too when i was a kid. sad times.

i..have a lot of issues with it, but since you already have it, give it a try and see what you thunk.

the p90 civilian version has an extended barrel so wouldn't be as sleek, and also wouldn't have 50 rounds in the mag

those 50round p90 mags are legal in most of the US and are sold in most places that sell magazines.

id like to think if she was a gun nut she wouldnt have anything to do with the NRA.

overall they are better than HL2.
