No seriously, please take this to court, it will be absolutely hilarious.


Corin, That would be really funny if you were not from a country that didn't expressly outlaw firearms for the common man.

Also, in your vast experience over the last ~4 years as operations manager, I am sure that I should bow to your expertise over such situations where you are accused of illegal activity based on a comment on HN. I look forward to your council.

While you're a young person from the UK with little to no experience with either US law, culture, politics or history, I appreciate your input in this matter.

I would hope that you could do yourself a favor and look into the things I stated above. I could give you some referrences to the things I said, but I doubt you would use them as much as I doubt you would even look into anything I said.

I you find that you DO want to know some things that occurred not only prior to when you were 11, but also things that occurred decades before you were born, please let me know.

Seriously. There is a lot more to know, hopefully you wont acquiesce to what you think you know from the internet.


Wonderful that you couldn't think of any way to actually argue your case so you go check me out and all you could come up with was a.) I'm English b.) I'm 22 c.) You know more than me so there.

Have you ever managed to convince anybody who didn't start off agreeing with you of anything?


These are the exact reasons to refute your comments.

1) You're english - i.e. NOT culturally related to the issue.

2) You're 22 - You have NO idea of the history of the people of which I speak. as a personal IT trainer to one of them who visited their house often, do you think I know, or you know, more? Please advise.

3) Yes, my friend, I do know more than you. When you were 11 I was building some of the largest enterprise datacenters in silicon valley. I have designed and implemented large corporate campuses for companies you well know. I am jealous that at 22 you have it figured out, as it appears you eschew any opportunity to learn that may present itself.

I am sure you will be very technically correct in many of your endeavors, I doubt you will have depth of character and knowledge though.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could see something you don't agree with and seek more info rather than trying to prove your insightful disposition so early?

In martial arts, we find this behavior often attributed to green belts (yes, in my decades of experience, I have more insight into another arena other than tech (20+ years in both))

Have you ever thought that someone you started off not agreeing with may be actually correct?


Plenty of people in the UK have firearms (mostly in rural areas) for sporting or pest control reasons. Handguns are generally frowned on though.
