I'm sure it is possible to make a firearm with

Sigh. People shouldn't be allowed to
program a procedural HLL until they've
mastered assembler, in the same way
that people shouldn't be allowed to
program OO until they've mastered
a procedural HLL, or use a calculator
until they've mastered the slide rule.

off of my lawn, life would be good, dag
nab it.
