    Since Scarecrow's gone for a while, the QT will default to Risk. Once he's back he'll get his.
    Thread up momentarily.

    I'll introduce her into the story if you want, I'm planning to move Michael around anyway so it's likely she'll be the one he contacts most to relay messages.
    Yeah, but it's limited stuff, like basic healing items; as the game goes on there will be "upgrades", since it's a beta right now. If that makes sense. xD;;

    Guns

    I would assume that if you have a gun in your house, you know how to use it. Otherwise it's a hundreds of dollars piece of metal sitting in your house.

    As for the Arizona thing, I don't know the gun laws for the state, but in many you can't carry a gun on you in public (and I actually prefer it that way).
    But yes, when you have a gun with you there are a quite a few things that can go wrong, especially when outside - wind speed and direction, misfiring, obscured shot, and so on. Could an armed citizen have taken out the man? Yes, potentially. Could he have also hit a bystander? Yes, also possible.
    Even if he didn't miss, if the shot was taken from just the right angle, the bullet could've passed through Loughner and hit someone anyway.

    Guns

    Outlawing guns would probably be one of the worst mistakes the US government could make.
    Drugs are outlawed, yet look at the amount of problems that alone causes - and instead of having drug trafficking, it'd be gun trafficking, which would be just as (if not more) dangerous.

    Personally...I do believe guns are not "evil" on their own. It's people with bad intentions that make things have a negative portrayal.
    Yes, they can be used to kill. But are they used ONLY for killing or self defense? No.
    Sharpshooting and other "gun sports" are purely for enjoyment; just like any other competition it's a test of skill and ability. And it takes a goddamn lot of skill to shoot a gun.

    Despite what many think (thanks to movies and TV), shooting a gun is not an easy thing to do. If you're picking up a gun for the first time, there is almost zero chance of hitting your target unless you're standing at a pointblank range, and if you're that close, it's not going to go unnoticed.
    Guns - especially the higher calibered - have an incredible recoil when you shoot, and if your hand jerks too much as you pull the trigger (which 90% of the time it will if you're just starting to learn to shoot) you're going to miss your target. I'm speaking for personal experience on this, I've paintballed for a fair part of my life and the first time I shot a real gun, I missed my target completely at 15 feet away. And even then I could only shoot a few more rounds before my hand hurt from holding the gun and dealing with the recoil.
    Semiautomatic rifles are even more of a ***** to shoot, I could barely aim the thing properly. So it's something you would need skill at doing for a long time if you're planning to be an accurate shot and have premeditated killing someone. And if you're thinking about killing someone and have experience as a marksman, then there's a good chance there's something wrong with you mentally.

    I do agree with Egypt; things really haven't changed. The method of killing may have, but that's not to say that people still aren't killed with knives or even everyday objects. So if things get extreme enough where every imaginable weapon is outlawed and people start killing with scissors, are we going to disallow everyone to use scissors because of it being a potential murder weapon?
    And even if there is someone with a mental problem in a house, steps can be taken to prevent access for the firearm. Like a gun safe. My family has one, it's relatively inexpensive (if you already have a gun), and it's goddamn heavy. Even if a person with killing intent can get access to the safe, they'll then have to deal with cracking the safe's code. Which can be prevented by not openly talking about the code or writing it down.

    There's a saying in my part of the country; it's "In the northeast, you can expect a pizza delivery boy to get to your house faster than the cops". And the Northeast isn't exactly the safest place in the country, so one can see why firearms as a self defense can be very effective. Shots don't even have to be fired, but in the situation of an intruder either unarmed or armed with a knife and is threatening your family's safety, the homeowner's threat of having a gun as defense can deter the criminal. Because let's face it, even if you're robbing someone, you really don't want to get shot.
