Son of a gun!

@Topmat:

Hope your game goes great!  :-D

Thanks we had a good time. We finished that game and played another on Sat.  Then I dug out my Axis & Allies Navel ships and Wings of War (WWI & WWII) we played all those too. So we played a lot of games over the weekend I really enjoyed the time glad I never got rid of those things.

All I have to say is C O O L !

I’ve been following this issue for sometime now.  And as a matter of sharing a “historical event”.  I thought I’d post this link here for everyone’s review.

For a time, “Defense Distributed” could only print some parts of a firearm.  Now it looks like they’ve finally put together the entire package in a prototype! (Minus ammunition of course…)

A reminder - be very VERY wary of any political discussion surrounding this item at aa.org.

Hilarious combo of the 2 stories and sympathetic background music.

@Guerrilla:

ahem CC, more people die each year from physician malpractice then firearms

do you have a source for that? How is “physician malpractice” defined?
Also have you considered the number of patient visits that occur in a year? The number of hospital days spent by patients every year?
Also have you considered that physicians are typically in the market to preserve life, and provide comfort into death while firearms sole purpose is to end life, and provide misery for the families of those affected by them?

So…
If they are not allowed to not support the system yet still use parts of it…

seperate issue. 1st, its the opposite from the offset (onset? i dont know, you get the point). i support the system they do not (the respective systems that is).
2nd, protesting the use of oil, than using a diesel powered boat, which is not simply powered by diesel, but uses mass quantities of it, to protest drilling is inherently hypocritical.
3rd, my being pissed off if the downside of my system occurred to me does not change my support of it, it simply pisses me off. supporters of the current legal system could be wrongly imprisoned and/or summarily executed, yet they may not stop supporting the system because of it.
4th, I take it that at this point, you know what i mean, and i honestly cannot believe you would couldnt see this

ubet ;)

Thanks for the clear up Wild2000, AKA “Rules Master.” :wink:

Personally, I use a rule where if a transport carries a AA gun, it get’s to fire too if the transport is attacked! Good times. :smile:
