Yep, if you're a criminal making ghost guns to commit crimes because you can't pass a background check to buy a gun (and then scratch the serial number off), then it's already a crime for you to have that ghost gun because you're a prohibited person.

Requiring a serial number changes nothing and only affects nerds, not criminals.

Hinduism often has a belief in, "sanctity of the cow, ... the belief that the cow is representative of divine and natural beneficence and should therefore be protected and venerated" (Brittanica).

One could argue that eating beef is inciting and degrading to [probably a select few] members of Hinduism.

Fairphone sounds great but currently has a poor price to performance ratio

Right. There's no reason why private jets shouldn't be paying to offset 100% of their emissions. For cars it's a different story because it's a tax on the poor for something they need. Private jets are purely luxuries, only used by the wealthy, and have a viable alternative.

Nope. Under 10% of households have a swimming pool, but over 40% of households have a gun in the USA. When we're talking about owning one as opposed to actively using one, the pool is more dangerous than the gun.

Now, if you just left your loaded gun out in your backyard 24/7, it may be a different story.

Connect seems cool, but I was using Infinity because it was open source. This one doesn't seem open source (correct me if I'm wrong) so I'll stick with Liftoff or Jerboa for now
