's almost like the Gun Show Loophole is the whole problem here, which is funny, considering that's what a lot of us have been saying this whole time

Gun ownership isn’t even the problem at all. The study that link gun ownership to increased mass shootings are all bogus.Banning guns wouldn't solve shit cause criminals can buy them from some dude's van or at a market.
Personally, I'm okay with guns but it kinda bugs me they're so noisy. Well, it's how they're built and that's that.
Solution? Militarize schools but everyone hates militarized zones, understandably so. You wouldn't want kids nor teachers to have guns logically so it's either that or as is.
I confess that I'm guilty of finding South Park jokes about school shootings to be hilarious. "Outside schools is when kids are supposed to be safe" lol and the shooting sound effect was quite something.This is black humor uh yeah, not for everyone so don't get offended for crying out loud.
The original guy that made the study that all of media keeps on repeating, he keeps refusing to provide methods and how he collected data when people ask him for it. He even refuses to share data with strong gun control advocates. And refuse to share how he overcame the language barrier to find shooters in local foreign papers.
When you look at data collected by actual peer reviewed researchers, the U.S. compared to the rest of he world, numbers are hugely under counter. And many studies have show no relation to gun ownership and increased mass shootings. John R. Lott has a book More Guns Less Crime.
United States ranks 62 per 100,000 people on mass shootings, out of 86 they identified. Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Russia, these European countries rank higher then the U.S.
Mass Shooting U.S. compared to world.
They would have to look at other reasons why people end up going psycho and shoot up schools, since there is no link with gun availability and shootings. They would have to look at Mental health or whatever else to get to the bottom of things.

There may be truth to that but there's always news about daily shootings in US, then again, there's also news about daily stabbings in UK. Different country, different weapon.
You get what you pay for.
Stabbings are a problem. And crime has gone up in the U.K. even surpassing the U.S. in many areas. Cops had carry guns again because it became a big problem. They even had to call the U.S. to train them on gun usage.
A lot of gun violence in other countries are in local papers in a different language so they don’t make world news.

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
