Iowa. Domain is part of the URL - for example NorthwestFirearms.com is the domain.

Another reminder that you need skills beyond pulling the trigger; you have to earn the draw.

He could have bought the domain for $20k -- probably worth that deal over a decade and a half of prison during one's prime earning period and NOT getting the domain. Moron.

I don't think he was a nerd. Being able to use instagram to publish photos and videos of college kids partying and being stupid, is in fact the antithesis of nerdiness. Sounds more like a knuckledragger high on bath salts or something.
