I actually have a novel that introduced me to the concept of straw purchasers. It was told from the gunrunner's perspective

I Didn't Get Caught: a gunrunner's tale to make more money
By: Emannuel Blothis

That a real thing? You never know, nowadays...

I...what...no!

Morons. Let's turn the world into a bleak parody of 1984! That will be double plus good!

Sheesh

[RedKing]

Wait, I....what?? I can't even parse this section:

The use of platforms in languages abuse specialists or abuse systems do not master should be unacceptable and preferably technically impossible.

Is abuse a verb, adjective or noun here? And is an "abuse specialist" someone who specializes in catching abuse or dealing it out?

Why are domestic surveillance  cameras so bad? I see no true harm in them, and a lot of potential good. Esp if people are going to record the content they see and hear from your personal lives. And all the everything. Not even including the ways it can get abused.
And there are already a line of people waiting to abuse these systems. They are the ones proposing them in the first place after all.

Well, it looks like the forces of idiocy are marching for another attack.

[Slayerhero90]

If that gets passed or whatever happens, I wonder if and when it will spread to the US, and what would happen if I flail my genitals at the screen.

[kaijyuu]

Of course, the risk is that someone, somewhere, will be getting off to it.

[Jervill]
