Just fyi, the hand being cut off is fake news, and none of the victims have their life in danger

I'm sure your boss/manager would proactively increase your wage relatively to the extra work you asked for

Good thing there was almost nothing built specifically for these Olympics. Plenty of concerns and problems, but at least that one isn't on the list.

He didn't divinely guide their hand, but he certainly pushed a certain narrative, painting the left as an even worse alternative.

Correct, no comma before the last element if it is preceded by a conjunction (e.g. "et", that is "and" in English) in French

For a group our size (we regularly have over 800 people on our mumble, peak is somewhere around the 1.3k mark if I remember correctly), it would also be very cost prohibitive to use TS

Yeah I'm aware legislation can vary a lot between states, I suppose I'm more talking about what one might call a minimum federal standard? To take an example, legal drinking age is technically free to be set by states, but the federal government will stop paying for highways if it's below 21, or something along these lines.

I seem to have misread the license part as an additional requirement rather than an optional one with the criminal record, thanks for the correction

I'm no swiss law expert, but that's not what wikipedia says regarding buying ammunition. And even what you describe is already more than what is needed in the USA isn't it?

In Switzerland's case, most of these "military guns" are not kept with ammo, so it's not like Timmy can go on a shooting spree with a glorified pipe section. There's also an actual license system for buying and owning weapons and ammo.

I always wonder why especially liberal/left-leaning people (not implying/saying you are one) are so opposed to private gun ownership

Well, there's a pretty good example of why virtually unrestricted gun ownership is a bad idea in the USA. Are poverty, healthcare the bigger issues? Of course. That doesn't mean you should compound them by making it easy for people to act with deadly force at the tip of their finger on impulse. Have a proper license system, make gun safes mandatory, don't give licenses without good reasons (self defense isn't one in 99.99% of cases), control ammunition sale.

Nice work
