    They have to be. They're the nearest humans when the machines start their revolt...

    As someone who currently works in healthcare IT, I agree wholeheartedly. Some of my coworkers have zero or near zero knowledge about guns, some are quite knowledgeable, and a whole range exists between. I think that those who choose to become knowledgeable do tend to become very knowledgeable, just by virtue of the fact that nerds are going to nerd, but if the initial interest isn't there, the research doesn't start.

    But is it a coterie, and does shovel fornication come into play?

    A flurry of invective was hurled at me about how fucking stupid I am. After all, it's THE POISON BULLET!!!

    "It was SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED against humans!"

    "I heard about an Afghan tribesman who said it made devastating wounds."


    The part that gets me is that I learned this basic information a very long time ago, yet the same misinformed debates rage except now its on IG and FB instead of on ARFcom and Guns.net.



    I'm just a grouchy old man.
