“Assault weaponsâ€”just like armor-piercing bullets, machine guns, and plastic firearmsâ€”are a new topic. The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weaponsâ€”anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gunâ€”can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons.”

Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn.”

“The mistake isn't releasing something bad. The mistake is to launch it and get PR people involved. You don't want people to start amping up expectations for an early version of your product. The best entrepreneurship happens in low-stakes environments where no one is paying attention, like Mark Zuckerberg's dorm room at Harvard.”
