I think one of the reasons for this difference you observe is that a not insignificant number of black protestors are already trapped in poverty by an impoverished childhood, inadequate education, and a nonsensical justice system that finances itself via lawbreakers and the laws that...

We've all heard this many times: "You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs." The U.S. Justice system is sorely in need of citizen oversight and revision. One of the things that attracted many to Bernie Sanders campaign was his highlighting of the need for reform in the justice...

Naturally his open society foundation only supports groups that have goals that are aligned with the open society foundation goals. The alignment is seldom perfect however. The OSF is remarkable in its hands off approach. They support with funds, but they do not micromanage, nor insert their...

At least your consistent. Birds of a feather flock together.

Actually it is a lot more. Nevertheless a propaganda machine for Soros is certainly one of the best and most important roles that any institution interested in promoting freedom and self determination could play. Thank you George Soros for dedicating your time and fortune to fighting...

Generally speaking, it wouldn't so long as the local restrictions satisfied two condition: 1. They were not less restrictive then the Federal law , and 2. the local restrictions did not violate the Second Amendment as interpreted via Heller. (Example, a total local ban on keeping operative...

The idea of arming teachers treats mass shootings in the U.S. as though the venue for shootings should impact the solution, in effect creating two issues out of what, in my opinion ought to be one. One issue is gun control which impacts, advocates say, the probability of mass shootings in...

Thanks for posting this. Other factors are ancillary. Missing from the study, as reported here, is consideration of the ratio of disability payments or welfare benefits to minimum wage. This affects incentives to earnestly seek employment at low wages, forcing wages higher indirectly. The...

This is a fundamental assumption you have made that lies at the root of our disagreement. I profoundly disagree with this assumption. I even believe that I can prove that it is probably wrong. Though I am not going to attempt that here. Not now anyway. I invite you, then, to think about it...

Ha ha ha ha. That's wonderful! Thank you so much!!! I started skating when I was seven and played on various teams from ages 11-~25, but kept playing "disorganized" hockey until about age 35. All my coaches were Canadian. I grew up speaking only Canadian, as in "I hit'em reet in the mooth."...

This is a true statement. But does not bear on logic and the benefits of getting rid of certain types of guns. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Sounds good doesn't it. Will knowing this prevent mass killings? NO. Now take the next step : People without guns can't kill people...

yes. That's true. But it is only marginally less safe, temporarily. you arn't defenseless, you still have your double action colt .45

fortunately I do.

Those Canadians won't have me. Too old. And my government made my medicare account non-portable, trapping me, just like I was in the old Soviet union and had to get a permit to travel to the next town. Sadly I'm stuck. Do you have any idea of the billions the U.S. taxpayer would save if...

That's an excellent point. But then you need to go to the next step and ask how many fewer might have been killed had there, for example, been no semi-automatic weapons available. And of course it is a very difficult question to answer without detailed information about each gun murder. ...

No problem going forward. Not only could the U.S. benefit from adopting Canada's gun laws, but we could adopt their immigration laws as well. Why not just sell ourselves to Canada. I like hockey much better than football. (I think the problem would be that Canada wouldn't want the Deep...

I prefer Canada's approach to immigration. At the same time, the U.S. needs to "man up" to the problems it has created for itself by exploiting cheap labor and looking the other way when it came to enforcement. We need new immigration law. There is more than one reason we don't get it from...

To say this is not a very helpful chart!, would be a huge understatement. We have to know more about the nominal level of household debt/asset ratio, and how it is distributed..

:rolleyes: I don't know about "lefties", but I have been spending time in Canada. It is VERY "diverse" , in fact it is a paradise for those who enjoy "diversity," as you put it. Fly up to Toronto and go for a rid on their wonderful mass transit system. Then come back and report on Diversity...

As you know, in my opinion, Canadian gun law is compatible with Heller. But then I am somewhat of an expert on Heller having read it thoroughly and studied it in detail, and having also Read Justice Stevens opinion as well. I have pointed out the Section of Heller (III, pg 54) that would be...
