Don't confuse gun safety laws and gun infringement laws.

So no examples of a NOPE, or a NOPE, or even a NOPE then? The people over at space dot com will be very disappointed, since they track every penny of NASA's budget, and know where every one of them have been spent since the first one. They know the cost breakdown of every contract (salaries...

Then this is the most successful conspiracy in history, since you are the first person, since the Mercury Program began, to speak about this corruption, financial mismanagement, and incompetence in public. These are truly Earth shattering accusations. Give me an example of a NOPE, NOPE, or...

Clearly there is far more turd journalism than there are "gun-free zones." It doesn't make much difference whether a place is a gun-free or just loaded-with-guns to a shooter, despite the gross misconceptions on both sides of that one. It's absolutely hilarious that people think (and they really...

Most of the time, I do what the traffic and driving conditions dictate, rather than what the signs say. :D If traffic is moving free and loose and there is a 'Merge Now' sign, I'll generally go ahead and merge over into the proper lane. If, however, there is already a single-file lane backed up...

Just so you know, the odd placement of the question marks if a quirk of UNICODE, ASCII and UTM Codes. UTM codes are little snippets of text added to the end of a URL to help track the success of the site's content on the web. An example of UTM codes is highlighted in the URL below...

Depends. Merging implies a cooperative effort, with the right-of-way belonging to those already in the lane people are merging into. If most people (save a handful of rude, inconsiderate, self-centered adult children) have already gotten over into one lane, and the other lane is no longer being...

And that's just one of the minor benefits. In 1958 when President Eisenhower signed the Space Act, which officially created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, from the very beginning the purpose for the agency extended well beyond space ships and moon boots. The Act stipulated...

Because they think politics only mean government party politics. They've never heard of office politics, for example. Or fail to understand that politics in general is to deal with people in an opportunistic, manipulative, or devious way, as for job advancement or to further a belief.

NASA is without question the most transparent agency the government has ever seen. Their books are open to the public, and always have been. The expenditures were then, and still are, exactly what gets reported to Congress, which eliminates the possibilities of last minute changes to contracts...

Those are the ones that manke headlines, the ones people pay attention to, the ones that stick in our minds. But the numbers are there. Well, they're not really biased in any political sense, because they are simply the numbers of reality. They are survey numbers of all violence, as opposed to...

Just to clarify a couple of things... most carriers will, in fact, take on cargo vans. Only a handful are Sprinter-only and will not take a cargo van. Any new endeavor, including and maybe especially expediting, has a steep learning curve. I would not recommend a Sprinter as an entry vehicle...

Do you know the difference between people classified as "liberal college students posing as dumb crackers" and most Bloggers? None whatsoever. You may think you're learning a lot from Bloggers comments if you place a high value on gossip and unfounded assertions from unknown sources. But if...

Well, being an old fart with no knees, use your walking cane. :D Fortunately, as we age so does the chances of being attacked. If you can survive just 2 more years to age 65, the chances of being attacked drop to miniscule levels. Of course, if at 65 you choose to go into a high crime...

Not that it's going to matter, or do any good, but I'm going to do it anyway. There are several different types of trials other than "jury" and "bench" (or "court") trials. A preliminary hearing is a trial. So is a preliminary arraignment. So is a grand jury proceeding. A trial is simply...

It can certainly be done. But like I said, that's just a snotload of driving. Not common at all.

I didn't say ATTACKED, I said in a position where you NEED A GUN to defend yourself. Not WANT, not PREFER, but NEED one. A gun is not the sole or even the best way to defend yourself in all situations. I also didn't say KILLED by lightning. You're so dramatic. Leo, no, it doesn't happen all...

I was just going by your 22-24 months statement.

Yeah, cause that happens, like, all the time.

Yep, that's exactly what we should do. Or, we could simply go about our business and live our lives knowing that you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than you do of being in a situation where you need a gun to defend yourself.
