Hey, I just watched the video on youtube last night. He started off with the good things such as the physical design of the device, or the interesting way it can project a laser image on your hand, but after that, it was all downhill.

Hey folks, this comment above mine is what's called a 'straw-man' fallacy. It's when you don't have an argument against for the specific argument being stated, so you invent another similar but significantly different argument to argue against instead. The first comment states that it's ridiculous to ban semi auto firearms when that's the vast majority of guns you can buy, and the second commenter instead argues that they should be legally allowed to own a grenade launcher in sarcasm as an attempt to show how firearm legal restrictions are a good thing as they prevent the ownership of grenade launchers.

Also, it's legal to own a grenade launcher in the US. It's just not legal to own the grenades. Plus, a grenade launcher is really just any 37mm chambered weapon. It could fire grenades, flares, or smoke bombs. They're also single shot weapons, so a semi-auto ban isn't going to cover them.

My guy, that's the information people use when they decide who to vote for. What exactly are you trying to make a point about? That no one should even listen to anything about politics or something?

Or security. Lots of cops moonlight as security guards.

It's such a forceful word that's lost all meaning in this day and age. Every time I see the word 'slam' in a headline I know literally nothing has been done about the problem.

Like, thanks Mozilla. You pointed a finger. What now?

I keep hearing how other states outside of CO are getting bent over on weed prices while I pay 60 for an ounce of decent stuff.

Calling a method of execution barbaric in it's practice isn't the same as saying the executed is a hero. If you're not willing to engage with this subject, then please don't make one up to get angry at others over.
