    I got "The Long Dark" for just a couple of bucks. Haven't played it much yet so I cannot give it a proper review, but I really like the art- and sound-design. If you're into open world survival games it's well worth checking out.

    The Long Dark is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. There are no zombies -- only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.

    The deranged will always find a way to inflict harm. If it's not guns, then it might be knives, hand tools, cars or home made explosives.

    hobbyist gun owners should have to use and store their guns at a range

    A large number, probably the majority, of firearms used in crimes are illegally owned/stolen. Storing them in one central location, in a building that most of the time isn't occupied, introduces a single point of failure which gives criminals the opportunity to loot a comparatively large amount of firearms in a single heist.

    I'm all for gun owners being legally required to keep their firearms locked in a adequate safe, though.
