    I mean, I’m sure there’s a statistic that someone can look up but as many people as are on the planet, I feel like there would always be someone within shouting distance if not closer. I guess it really depends on how fast the earth is moving and what the frame of reference is.





  • You can get semi auto hunting rifles with a capacity of 6-10 rounds. I’m as anti gun-violence as anyone, and generally agree that more gun control is not a bad idea, but outright banning AR-15s is not the answer.

    There are too many already out there to make a dent, and anyone can 3D print a lower receiver that will will hold up for at least 20 rounds.

    80% lowers are a thing and you can “finish” them with basic hand tools and a drill, then you have an unregistered firearm.

    There are many other ways to acquire one illegally or semi-legally, but they are currently pretty “obscure” since it’s so easy and cheap to buy a lower and assemble your own. Banning legal sales will only bolster the alternative methods.







  • Seconding the above, I want to say I paid $60 in a pretty average city.

    The store I went to is called Jos-a-bank, feel free to look them up but any higher end men’s fine clothing store should have a tailor on site at all times.

    There are also dedicated tailor shops you can try looking for one of those.

    I don’t think places like dillards or Macy’s will do alterations but I could be wrong.

    Worst case the place you go may tell you something like “he only works Tuesdays and Saturdays” or something like that, so you may want to keep trying to get them on the phone, but I’ve not been told that before.
