That's okay though, because that stuff either happens off-screen or, uh, shut up.

Maybe not. But he sure does look miserable as hell whenever Last Jedi comes up, so I'd guess he's at least given it some thought in hindsight.

I have to admit, the part in Fallout 4 when I got to shoot that guy voiced by Emil Pagliarulo was mildly enjoyable.

They were better than in Fallout 3/New Vegas, but still extremely weak compared to any competent shooter. Bethesda don't really do gameplay. (What do they do, again?)

That's true. But gun culture in the US could be changed. It's changed elsewhere. The problem is that it would require a high amount of bipartisan effort from the government over an extended period of time to pull off, and bipartisanship in the US has quite possibly never been at a lower point...

No. Though I wouldn't really place so much emphasis on the player's ability to kill minors so much as the fact that minors are always inexplicably immortal. I don't like this, not because I want to run around killing child characters, but because you end up in stupid situations where a kid gets...

That's true. I've seen a lot of complaints from VAs to that effect. I get it - it's an industry in which accepting a bad role can damage your prospects for future jobs, so you would expect to at least be given some kind of script, right?

I figured. Seems like kind of a rich scam from the actor's perspective, though, to be asked to go under contract without having any idea what the movie is going to be like.

Very different beast. You could theoretically defang the drug problem by introducing law to take as much profit as possible out of the illicit drug trade; that doesn't translate well to the illicit gun trade, as you obviously can't reach any similar compromise with people who wish to use guns...

I'm trying to show that the situation in Israel is not in any way proof of the validity of allowing private citizens to easily own or freely carry guns, quite the contrary, they have stricter laws covering private gun ownership than most other developed countries despite the fact that the area...

It's odd that the US is arguably the most Orwellian developed country currently in the world, in spite of all of its guns.

I'll play devil's advocate here: the argument generally goes that they don't work to reduce gun-related crime, only to punish law-abiding gun owners, as criminals don't care whether they own their guns legally, whereas law-abiding gun owners do.

What are the gun laws like in Colombia at the moment? I know possession and sales laws are relatively restrictive, but I thought guns were also permitted for use in self-defense, and also that it was fairly straightforward to get a carry permit for a handgun in most parts of Colombia outside...

You won't find any of them on a list of developed countries, I can tell you that much.

If you can cut or force a safe open easily with any hand tool, then it isn't much more than a cheap box made from high-gauge steel, or with a weak locking mechanism, or both, and in either case it shouldn't have guns stored inside of it. UL and similar groups rate safes for effectiveness. If...

Sounds like you guys really need to be using better gun safes, then. You don't ever have to change your mind if you want to, no matter what proofs or arguments are offered to you (though personally I find it uncomfortable trying to do this when I'm in what I consider to be an untenable...

You also have fewer than one third the guns per capita that the US has, and you have more or less the same range of gun laws that every other country uses to mitigate the risks of private firearm ownership. You might think restricting semi-automatic centerfires is draconian (I'm sure there are...

AR-15s are relatively light, intuitive to operate, easy to shoot, they can hold large magazines, they fire an intermediate cartridge which is very effective at inflicting fatal wounds on man-sized targets, and they fire them rapidly. All of those things make them (and any equivalent firearm...

Why would people not express outrage at this kind of thing happening over and over again while US lawmakers, whose "donations" from the NRA are a matter of record, do absolutely nothing about it? Every time this kind of event occurs, it just further illustrates the point that the gun situation...

And that was how we concluded that it would really be ideal for everyone to just die.
