Wow. Five months of no activity. Now, I present updates and a rant.

EDIT: Forgot to add another story, Hover Beyond.

UPDATES BEGIN NAO:

As of November 15 of last year, I've been here for 3 years. The glitches continue. [heart symbol goes here]

ARTS

A detailed pic of Tails and my Sonic fancharacter, Kaolin. Also, a sketch of my Sonic fancharacter Fuse holding a pencil. DRAMATICALLY.

COMICS:

Comics are in hiatus. Additionally, I plan to continue A Century After Sonic as a written story, with possible occasional pics for a few scenes.


STORIES:

Hover Beside: The Mercia Incident. Three-and-a-half years after the events of Hover Beside, Tails and his girlfriend Kaolin are assigned to investigate allegations of Snively building high-explosives at a factory in the nation of Mercia.
-Violence/Action-

Hover Beyond. Four years after Hover Beside. After Snively killed Robotnik, everything changed. Now, a new threat has emerged. Can the Freedom Fighters stop a rogue faction from nuking Station Square?

Hover Totality: Dawn. First three chapters are up. 6 months following the events of Hover Beyond, the recently-wed Tails and Kaolin have started a new life. However, a new and unstable nuclear-armed regime could change all of that. Could war be looming? -Violence/Action-

Go Fast, Young Plumber. What started as a dull day rapidly became a pulse-pounding, explosive race against time as Mario competed with Wario to see who could reach the grocery store first. -Contains action/violence-

Also, the first part of the 13th installation of my Random Insanity Killfest series is finally up. A link to the story can be found in the corresponding thread at the Random Insanity Union.

RANT:

HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009.

How...how can so much blatant, drooling idiocy exist all at once? How? Are politicians so flagrantly out of touch with reality that they'd resort to this? I guess so.

Under this bill, it would be illegal to own a firearm - including any rifle with a clip, or ANY pistol regardless of type, unless:

- It is registered.

- You are fingerprinted and 'cleared' to own one.

- You supply a current Driver's License.

- You supply your Social Security Number.

- You submit to a physical & mental evaluation, at any time of their choosing.

- Each update - change - or ownership - through private, or public sale, must be reported, & costs $25. Failure to do so means you automatically lose the right to own a firearm, & you're subject to up to a year in jail.

There's also a children's clause, on page 16, section 305, stating that as a child-access provision, any gun in your home, or under your supervision, must be locked & inaccessible to any child under 18.

The government would have the right to come & inspect your premises, to see that you are storing your gun safely & away from accessibility by children. If not, the fine is actually punishable by up to 5 years in prison.

Sure, it isn't an outright gun ban, but all it takes is for them move a step further here and there, until it happens.


Thomas Jefferson put it nicely, "Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who don't."
