I think the gist of the complaint was the discharge of a firearm within city limits in an unsafe manner. If he'd taken it out to a shooting range or even into the National Forest and blown the crap out of it (and then picked up the pieces) nobody would have cared. But even I will agree that pumping that many rounds into anything in an alley in an urban area is pretty alarming and ought not be allowed unless one is defending one's life.

Sorry to break it to you Seth, but Macs are the shittiest computers ever made. They are frustratingly unintuitive and insanely over-priced.
A Mac costs TWICE the price, for HALF of the power. It's fucking asinine.
Sorry to break it to you, but Macs are the best computers made for what I need it for, and unlike my Windoze boxes, where the number of security and intrusion threats number in the millions nowadays, I've never once been compromised in more than 20 years of using Macs, and I don't have to buy aftermarket computer security software and pay through the nose every year to keep it updated because Apple includes a very comprehensive and effective firewall and anti-virus system that it updates for free, automatically.
Tisk-tisk Seth. I'm disappointed.

I would think with your technical knowledge of firearms, you would have no problem using an objectively superior PC, instead of some dumbed-down piece of shit.
I'd rather have a "dumbed-down" (which it's not) system that's integrated and very intuitive and easy to use that works every fucking time without fail than spend days pulling my hair out trying to fix a registry error or recover from some worm or virus that Microsoft-in-the-head allowed in to my computer by leaving all 640000 fucking ports open to intrusion 24/7.
I open my computer and it simply works, first time, every time, whether I'm writing or I'm processing still photos or editing video or just surfing the web. I don't even have to think about registry edits or other bullshit that pcs put you through every day of the week.
My Mac Mini server was up and running continuously, without a single failure, for two years. I never had to do anything to it, ever. Updates were installed automatically and it ran flawlessly. I have never, ever had that experience with any Windoze box I've ever owned, ever. Usually I had to reboot twice a day or more before I returned to sanity and threw them all away and bought Macs.
