You know what's pissing me off about the attack?

It's not the attack itself, but how gun enthusiasts, seemingly without caring for the dead and injured, are using it to say how great it would be if everyone in Britain had a gun. Not only is there a lack of respect there, there's a fundamental misunderstanding of how if gun access was easy, it's far easier for people like the bastard to perform a mass shooting.

In this case the gun laws prevented the attacker from having a gun.

And I think the fact that he did not have a gun may have saved a lot of lives.

So I have no idea how the gun lobby is spinning this to make it look like this guy being able to buy a gun would have been a good thing.

"Someone would (emphasis on would, I've not seen anyone say that it might not have happened, but that it WOULD have happened) have shot him before he could do any damage"

Going so far as someone saying that one shot would have ended it all, because no matter where you're shot, no matter how hopped up on adrenaline you are, you will automatically slump over.

How effective are constructions like cities and churches in generating money? I'm never sure exactly where my cash is coming from, as my go-to strat is mindless expansionism until i hit vassal limit and spend six rulers trying to raise vassal limit or push for viceroyalties, but  I always thought that most of my money was generated by the county capitol. If I drop some money on the cities, will I actually get more? Is it a worthwhile investment, assuming that I'm in a good position troops-wise?

Cities are the prime moneymakers in the game, generating significantly more revenue than castles or churches. That said, their owners will upgrade them on their own whenever they can, as most mayors have nothing better to spend money on. (I believe Descan is trying to get mosques because Iqta rulers can own mosques personally and mosques generate more revenue than castles, making for a more profitable demesne.)

There are three primary ways to use cities to your advantage, though. The first is building more cities in provinces with empty holding slots. The second is raising taxes on cities. The third is granting mayors counties and then granting the resulting Lord Mayors duchies. This makes them a merchant republic, which makes them pay you tons of taxes.

Do i found some malteasers at the store today?? And so i bought some thinjing that they would be like americna whopper candy and therefore be a pleasant snacking experience. Well let me tell you, i was wrong
