I think you have to BE president or really high up in the military to get access to the Stargate.

You can get a simple engraver that won’t do pretty-pretty calligraphy but makes it possible to put your name on metal objects such as bikes, etc. That should work on the barrel of a gun, and be cheaper and easier to use than a laser.

It’s a run-of-the-mill K40-III, a Chinese 40-watt laser cutter/engraver affectionately known as Blue Horror, a nickname earned by the quality of the control software and electronics. Scheduled to controller replacement with an Arduino-based solution, Sometime In The Future. Modified by cutting out the bottom of the chassis to accommodate taller things, in order to cut connector holes into various boxes/enclosures.
I already have the laser, that’s the thing! 
A CNC mill engraver would be a nice additional thingy to have, though.

He said he was going to get guns if he moved back to the US - a target poor environment if it’s Palestinians he’s after. Unless there’s some history here that I’m unaware of, I think there’s no need for that.

Much more plausible.

The thing I love about this is that tweeting pictures of your personalised firearm-cum-penis-substitute is ‘America’ in exactly the same way that dashcam videos of Gopniks drunk-driving in horrendous conditions is ‘Russia’ and journalists getting their heads cut off with a backdrop of car-bombs and drone strikes is ‘Syria/Iraq/[insert preferred shithole here]’.
I have no idea how the UK would be similarly represented, but I suspect it would involve drunkeness, unattractively pale bodies, and Union Jack underwear.

Ah, yes; I miss the North!
It’d be all about the…hair.
You forgot bad teeth, tea, and Doctor Who. ETA and movie villains!
I noticed that too after I posted it. Meh, it’s not my job to make sure they get things right. Though, that would be a cool job!

I read some research somewhere that demonstrated that UK oral health was actually better than American - less focus on cosmetic dentistry, is all. Damned if I can find it now, though.

He totally squandered the opportunity to etch a cute little turtle on that.

I’d buy that. I’ve had people tell me I should get my teeth fixed - I am like fixed? They are all there, no gaps, reasonably straight. I just never had braces as so many US kids have. My sister is the only person in my immediate family to have orthodontic work done, partly because we couldn’t afford the luxury of braces and partly because she really needed it as she sucked her thumb for waaaaay too long, and it messed up her teeth pretty bad.

Inevitably, it’s an average thing. More people in the UK have access to some dental care. Just like all other healthcare - poor Americans get nothing.

I’m pretty much the opposite of a gun nut, but between science fiction and video games I have to admit the P90 is kind of cool. It took the prize away from the Steyr AUG.
(I played a LOT of Rainbow Six / Rogue Spear / Raven Shield, okay?)
I like that second part. 
Not a big fan of the first part, just to be frank; as an outsider I prefer conservative Judaism, which tries to preserve the basic traditions and historical beauty of the faith without being quite so socially regressive (women’s issues being a good example of what I’m talking about). As a pantheist, I have a large overlap with Jewish belief systems; אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה is as good a statement of pantheism as any I’ve ever heard.
ANYway, I like the Corwin of Amber version of Psalm 137 best, but I think Boney M’s cover of the Melodians is pretty awesome too.
But now that we’ve had a musical interlude we can go back to snarking on Jeb, eh?
