He/Him… just in case.
I’m from Earth, ya know, that thing that keeps getting effed because of greed and unaccountability… I like the middle, not the radical left or right, some things may be tough and make sense, others are up to individuals. Be free, let others be.

  • Portuguese here:

    • There was compulsory male military service, that would be the only place where you could “handle” military grade hardware, aka assault rifles.
    • Currently IIRC, guns are accessible if: you’re a military or law enforcement agent, a hunter (rifle or shotgun) or go through a process for a fire arm license due to professional or business reasons (e.g. a goldsmith) for self-defense.
      As well hand guns are limited to “non-military” calibers… for instance 9mm is for government agents solely.

    Of course there’s black market and use by shady actors…

    As for people’s personal relationship with guns, most people doesn’t care to have one as there’s not much violent crime to justify said behavior.








  • Actually, money could have been saved… here’s why:

    1. The US Navy’s submarine detection network heard a “boom” on the day of the implosion, which they kept close to their chests…
    2. Sounded the alarm, they spent money and resources looking for something they were almost sure was lost…
    3. After the expiration of time when the submarine “could be recoverable” was when they said “well… we did heard something the other day”…

    Imagine the other possible scenario where the say on the first day “Hey, the sub imploded, we heard it on our underwater microphones, we won’t spend money looking for these people…”
    And then a future investigation reveals that they got stuck somewhere or lost power but were “buoyant” for 48 hours or so, and died for lack of oxygen when no one was looking for them.

    Can you imagine the lawsuits?
