First chart that came up in Google Image - coincidence. The data contained in it is correct and from the CDC and FBI. In fact I think it's disingenuous for media and pundits to correlate a 20 percent reduction in household firearms in Australia (the loosely accepted buyback program net...

I am all for extended background checks and mental health check requisites. The rifles I own were custom builds and I had to wait several months on them so a ten day check is fine by me. I am not a member of the NRA on principle - I think that background checks should be more robust to include...

https://www.factcheck.org/2017/10/gun-control-australia-updated/ "In all, more than 700,000 weapons were surrendered, according to a Library of Congress report on Australian gun policy. One study says that the program reduced the number of guns in private hands by 20 percent." The FBI and the...

Again, please answer the big question. There are somewhere around 330 million firearms already in civilian possession in the United States. 42 percent of US households own a firearm. Are you willing to physically go door to door in order to confiscate the 200 million or so firearms that do...

Are you willing to physically go door to door in order to confiscate the 200 million firearms that do not meet your criteria already in legal ownership by law abiding citizens or are you going to grandfather them in ? Don't bring up buyback because that won't work here except for fencing...

In 2017, about 42 percent of U.S. households had at least one gun in possession.

Let's say for the sake of argument that happens. Are you willing to physically go door to door in order to confiscate the tens of millions of AR's already in legal ownership by law abiding citizens or are you going to grandfather them in ? Don't bring up buyback because that won't work here...

This is where your lack of knowledge regarding firearms is getting you a bit sideways. Point being, he can ( and I do not doubt ) empty 8 rounds out of his Smith and Wesson revolver accurately just about as fast as he could empty 8 rounds out of your common Glock semi-auto pistol. Not quite...

Bingo. And any clear thinking rational person would admit that the Parkland shooting was not the Broward County Sheriff's Office nor the FBI's finest hour. https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-statement-on-the-shooting-in-parkland-florida Pass a gazillion laws. If you're not...

I don't need tickets to the Super Bowl or the World Series - I need a pass to Shot Show.

I've always thought that this 2 minute piece from Reason was about as objective and clear minded a summary as I have seen:

My guess is that this might be a bit of "fake news" or some hyperbole. China is literally 'stuck' buying and selling US dollars in a tightly controlled and orchestrated manner in order to continue its' control (some say manipulation) of the Yuan. If every 12 months or so China takes in at...

If you truly want to do a deep dive into US Crude Oil Storage, you need to start with a high dive from the top platform into the EIA PADD data. Any hack journalist or market blogger can quote Cushing - it's easy. It's also incomplete at only 13 percent of U.S. storage. The sources that do the...

There are some very unique quirks and idiosyncrasies that are specific to the energy markets - many of them are legacies from decades ago that are far less relevant than they used to be. As I mentioned previously, Cushing OK happens to be the specified physical delivery point for a popular...

Cushing, Oklahoma accounts for 13 percent of U.S. crude oil storage. It just happens to be the specified physical delivery point for a popular futures contract of which maybe 99% gets offset prior to expiry. You know nothing, Jon Snow. :D

My sense is that if indeed as your previous posts suggest you are considering bets on Crude Oil based upon storage inflows and outflows at Cushing, Oklahoma - you have a very limited understanding of the North American Crude Oil Basis. If a card game allows you five cards - why tell the dealer...

:D Too funny - thanks for that pic !

Yep. Economic activity drives hydrocarbon demand. BIG TIME.

Cushing Rack Space is fairly irrelevant these days - at the very least it's importance has greatly diminished. There are so many other global basis vectors today than existed even ten or fifteen years ago.

Might I suggest a more focused and likely a more productive research topic for you: refining spreads.
