Ban vending machines

Post by Termite »

Between 2007 and 2018, 173 people were killed by mass shooters using an AR-15, according to a New York Times analysis — roughly, 15 per year. For perspective, 13 people die per year from vending machines falling on them.........

Hat tip to Pawpaw.

Also: since vending machines generally dispense "junk" foods high in sugar and fat which contribute to obesity, heart disease, and diabetes, can they be labeled as "accessories after the fact"? :lol:

I'm of the opinion that dime bags should be sold from from vending machines, along with machine pistols.

I wonder where that falls on their statistics.?

While I was in Japan, I found more than one vending machine (not in seedy areas) that sold size small gently used woman's panties, Sapporo beer and Saki.

Not a fan of the dime bag, but to each his own. But machine pistols. now you have my attention.

Nether am i, i just see marijuana laws as ridiculous. Either we're adults and should be treated as such, or were not, and are therefore not responsible for our actions. They cant have it both ways.

Now if only pack howitzers were available on Amazon.. :twisted:

Pretty much.

There's a lot of stuff I don't particularly care for but fuck the jackboots who tell me I can't do it because they've decided what's good for me.

Forget the commercial grade garbage, an M2a is where its at, just need to find a source for pyrotechnic ignitor cartridges. :twisted:

Yeah...I wrote about something like that many years ago when Our Founder still ran the site, some kind of "ideal-world" thread.

In my perfect world, I come home to my wife telling me I have a package from Amazon: the upgraded counterbattery radar for my pack howitzer. #DownTwoHundredAndFireForEffect 8-) :twisted:

Edit to add: the flamethrower T-shirt is not bad. I was in San Antonio for a conference this week, and picked up a Gonzales flag T-shirt while I was there.
