Oh yeah, it's just SF, where apparently BB guns are more illegal than real guns.
Of course, as an SF resident, it's still illegal for me to buy one.
Since I was mailing it directly to SIL anyway, I'm just going to have her order it and send a check.
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You could legally have bought and mailed it outside SF, right?

That's actually not clear to me. But I was planning to order online anyway, where it seemed problematic that my billing address was SF.
I have no interest in running around trying to find one here.
ETA: Although gun websites are pretty disturbing in and of themselves.

Did you also see The Machinist? I hear he's doing another weight loss gig.
Yeah -- I didn't like the movie; my response was "Wait, you mean that wasn't supposed to be obvious an hour ago?" But Bale interests me, I guess because he's a talented nutcase. (I think the AP commentary has some amusing stories along those lines.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
If you liked Thank You for Smoking, you will like Up in the Air. If you did not like Thank You for Smoking, you...still may like Up in the Air, since it's less cynical and has more heart.

I'm surprised that no one's posted about Fantastic Mr. Fox. I saw it Thanksgiving day and loved it! The detail was remarkable, the voice performances excellent, and the story was strong with a satisfying but not-too-cloyingly-sweet ending.

I haven't seen it yet, but I really want to. However, I need to see Where the Wild Things Are first, since it will be gone from theaters shortly.
