Even if they did I doubt they would’ve used aliases. Picard’s tea “routine” is right in-line with his character.

Unfortunately (/s) plot and character development trump diligent technical details.

I’m Dutch and even I could glean the intended meaning from the context.

Just because you have a firearm doesn’t make you part of the “gun people” generalization.

Do you fantasize about getting to shoot your gun? Have you tied your identity to your arsenal of guns? Do you feel the need to open carry at the grocery store? Do you open fire on cars in your driveway?

No? Then you’re not in the “gun people” group being talked about. People who own guns are not the same as the “gun people”, or “gun nuts”/“ammosexuals”.

I was so disappointed she wasn’t in Aftershocks! But I like how Burt’s character ended up because of it.
