Bought My First Gun Today

I'm proud to announce that today I bought my first gun. My family has always had guns and we shoot them but today it was I who filled out the paperwork and bought it in my name. It's sort of a surreal experience the first time you do it. Probably up there with buying your first car or house.

All you hear is the same party lines being run over and over. "Opensource is more secure", "Linux is cheaper", etc. Not to say I don't like Linux or opensource products...
