  1. Does anyone have a link to the full text of what Schumer said? I've seen the pull quotes, would be curious to see the full context.
  2. I think Miller was the one that led - to my understanding - the thinking the guns had to tie into a theorized militia use, and thus the first part of the amendment was primary over the second. But I'm not an expert. The 'guns everywhere' laws I know of aren't concealed carry, but open carry.
  3. You seem to have made the mistake of spelling "Planescape" as "Starjammer, or Darksun". Seriously, only masochists play Dark Sun.
  4. I think its The Dwarves https://store.steampowered.com/app/403970/The_Dwarves/
  5. I agree that there's no interpretation that would limit all ownership so DC's law was invalid. I was trying to describe my understanding of the argument pre-Heller, that the interpretation that put extra weight to the first part was an argument that the intent of the amendment was for a state's right to have a militia, which then made the second part subsidiary to the first part. Heller obviously established the second part as the primary piece, which has then led to interpretations that individual right to own for self protection means individual right to carry anywhere for protection (excluding, you know, government offices).
  6. See, this is the crux of the argument, as I understand it. People who believe the law was intended to protect the state's rights to have a militia put the weight on the first part, those who believe its for individual rights put it on the second. Heller, as I understand it, sided with the second part, but that decision isn't without controversy. Personally I am not a fan of Heller as it has bolstered the "guns everywhere" movement which I am not a fan of.
  7. Isn't the literal interpretation of the right to bear arms, as defined in the US Constitution, literally tied to militia membership though? Wasn't this the interpretation that allowed the clean-up of the west (in that sheriff's were able to legally tell cowboys they couldn't enter town with their guns on as they weren't part of a militia) as opposed to the interpretation in District of Columbia vs Heller that expanded rights to the individual unconnected with militia membership? (I'm neutral on removing gun ownership as the Constitution is supposed to be a living document, but removal of gun ownership needs a Constitutional amendment to happen, anything else would be...well...unconstitutional).
  8. If it helps, last few posts from the old thread:
  9. We ask that the users of this board treat one another with respect, even when opinions differ. Personal attacks that are intended to cause unwanted attention, embarrassment, or harm will not be tolerated.
  10. If you take away the 4 years you were wrong with him and add them to her, you'd be spot on.
  11. Post limit reached - please see new discussion here:
  12. I'd recommend submitting your issue through their contact us on the support page - https://support.obsidian.net/article/12-looking-for-help-on-our-older-games These forums are primarily peer-to-peer support, and Developers don't always check the forums, but someone is always reading support inquiries.
  13. Structures can amplify the effects of forces. For example, the difference in the effect of hitting a metal bucket vs a plastic one with the quality of the sound produced, and then the difference if the bucket is on the ground or in the air. I don't know that happened here, to be fair, but it doesn't seem to be in the realm of impossibility that the structures might have made the problem worse by transmitting the force waves into the bunker through the structure (like the difference between having the metal bucket vs plastic bucket over your head while being hit - you'd most likely want the plastic one as it has less potential to reverberate the sound). I would be curious to know the effect the missile strikes had on Iraqi troops, though.
  14. Interesting reading; I thought, joking aside, it might be tied to size of the weapons, but hadn't read about the buildings as an issue.
  15. You may be right, but in a day and age where everyone is concerned over CTE, I could see them over diagnosing it without their being some conspiracy(?) behind it. And it could be legit, you get 110 concussions just from having a Keystone Kop style mass panic where everybody runs trying to get to a safe place (which is a worrying idea by itself).
  16. So instead of actually responding to my posts, you're just going to continue to dance around the topic by poking at me? So, simple questions - why are you posting about the TBI numbers? Why does this story interest you enough that you are still posting about it 2 weeks later? What discussion are you trying to engender? Or are you just spamming?
