You'll have to read them.. Search on Wiki. Very sensible in my view. good gun control laws are aimed at altering probabilities. If there is access to firearms of any type there will be deaths due to firearms. The goal should be to reduce the probability of adverse events. Not only does the...

Actually that is my understanding too. Time for sensible, Canadian like controls on hand guns???. When I think gun control I think "type" of gun. Barrel length, semi automatic or not, etc. Ammunition, etc. I like Canada's sensible approach to gun control.

That doesn't make sense to me. It seems the data is not supportive. But neither can i conclude the data is supportive. It's a multi-variable problem and that's what makes it difficult to get right.

That smell seems to sell better than the four day old fish smell.

Are they done with firearms that could be legally owned by someone not in the military or part of a police force. That is what I am interested in.

Thanks, very interesting data. I don't consider the prohibition of gun ownership by convicted felons a "gun control" measure, but I am OK with those that do. My definition of "gun control" is control of the types of guns that may be legally owned. So neither would I consider gun theft a...

They do obey the gun control laws, don't they. I don't know what the gun control laws are in chicago, but I think most gun killings are done with legal guns, aren't they. You'd have to change the gun control laws if your goal was to decrease the probability of deaths from gun shot, wouldn't you?

What's exceedingly strange about Trump is that he seems to have no guide posts, no basic principles whatsoever. He doesn't seem to have any consistent vision for the country he heads. It is this one day and something else another. He appears to crave approbation of whomever his immediate...

This kind of thing is usually reported as a relative number. That that takes population into account. I guessing that socioeconomic factors would highly correlate. Canada has a drastically less skewed wealth distribution than does the U.S. and it seems that Canada also has more uniform public...

The statistics are out there for all to see. Death rates due to guns fired by someone other than the victim in Canada are a tiny fraction of what they are in the U.S. Canadian gun laws are far more sensible than those in the U.S. But this may not be the reason why the crime rate in Canada is...

If you don't let people over the age of 115 vote, that would be age discrimination.

The concern you raise is why I think many believe this current crisis in government represents a crossroads. I am concerned.

Well of course, you guys are not rocket scientists. And fortunately for you, this is not rocket science. If you go back and look at my early posts, and then wait for another 6 months from now you will see that I had it exactly right from the start: Money Laundering and Tax Evasion. I left the...

We're not, at least I'm not, talking about the DOJ prosecuting Trump while he is President. That won't happen. What will happen is that Mueller will wait until after the mid-term and present his report to the New Congress in late January or February, unless of course his hand is forced before...

You're right and wrong. Of course the Framers did not intend to protect a sitting President that illegally gained the office. But of course it is highly unlikely the Founders envisioned a Congress such as the current one. Passing the buck to Congress is the only way Mueller can proceed if we...

To indict Trump there would have to be an independent special prosecutor appointed. The DOJ couldn't do it (Conflict of interest). I don't think Trump will be indicted until he is impeached and removed from office, and maybe never. That will depend on what Pence's political ambitions are. He...

There is only one way to stop that strange nominee that champions "The Unitary Executive," something wholly incompatible with a democratic Republic. Kavanaugh's vision of the Executive is akin to that of a king or a dictator in a totalitarian regime. How he came up with these absurd notions...

You are going to be OK in any case because you are in an area of high demand and with your experience you should have no trouble finding employment later if that becomes your only option. Go for it! I wish you the best of luck.

The questions to be asked are at least five fold: 1) was the officer in immediate danger of being killed when he killed the suspect? 2) were there alternatives available to the officer, such as bringing the subject down in a non-lethal way? 3) Was there sufficient reason to believe that had...

Ha ha ha. Why does that frog remind me so much of jem creating yet another black hole? Hilarious. Thank you.
