Hunting. "Aww be a man and hunt with a spear. Or even better, your bare hands." Hunt for food and not sport. It's better for the animal and yourself. But the self defense world is gonna end scene is overly exaggerated so I have to agree to your point in a way.

Because technology doesn't advance, smart guns will always be bad. I get the logic.

Most gun owners don't hunt. Even fewer actually use their guns in a productive way on a regular basis. I said pretty useless, not totally useless. I'm getting to the point where I'm ready to decimate the local turkey population. Too much turkey shit everywhere.

Case in point:

A pistol would be much more useful for self-defense if I could leave it on the nightstand without thinking my kids have a chance to use it. I'd happily charge it if that was necessary. Plus it would make stolen guns less valuable.

Anyone else here in the US find it ironic that Time named the 2016 person of the year on "A Day Which Will Live in Infamy?"

More ironic than them having a different cover for the US edition than the rest of the world?

Right?! I can't imagine my friend was actually the one who invented it because it's too good. It must be a term that has been reinvented over and over for millennia. ...or however long English has been spoken.
