    Guns Send over 8,000 US Kids to ER Each Year, Analysis Says

    The first thing you have to do is drill data down to define "kid". In most people's minds kid brings up a mental image of ~0-12 years of age. The statistics, however, use kid as anyone under 18 years of age. If you drill that data down by age, race, and location, you'll find the numbers...

    The FIFA Football World Cup 2018

    Based on athletic ability alone, I'd go with France. Based on toughness, I'd go with Croatia. It was fun to watch them get stronger towards the end of their 3rd ET game in a row. Of course they have guys on their team that lived through the Balkan War, so they are accustomed to a little...

    The FIFA Football World Cup 2018

    Croatia was definitely the aggressor in that match. Pickford kept England in the game with 5 saves and Croatia helped with missing a couple off the post and over an empty goal. England had one shot on goal in the game and scored on it, then had nothing else the rest of the match. It's hard to...

    The FIFA Football World Cup 2018

    There seems to be a lot of shootouts in this world cup. I'm not a fan of settling things by that method. Maybe they'd be better off just forcing teams to continue play until someone scores in a sudden death. It would force open a team like Russia that was packing the box on defense and hoping...

    The FIFA Football World Cup 2018

    Croatia has played 2 games in a row with extra time and penalty kicks. I see them struggling towards the later part of the game with England due to fatigue.

    The FIFA Football World Cup 2018

    Lloris had a good day with a couple of stretched out saves and nobody watched the front post on a set piece. That seems to be a recurring theme.

    So far it looks like some more good goal tending.

    Why I Advocate Renewable Energy Sources

    I advocate renewables because they make money for my company faster then it could be printed. California has renewable mandates that are all but impossible for local entities to meet. We build and operate power plants around the country, so we build renewable plants there. The mandates allow...

    So, you have a second amendment to defend against tyranny. How does it work in practice?

    The most staunch supporters of the second amendment I know are current and former military members and rank and file police. I've always assumed the helicopter would be targeting the same person the regular gun owner would be targeting since they tend to be on the same side of the issue. I'll...

    Convicted Felon Retires from Fox News and Friends to Head NRA

    I'd have personally picked someone like Colin Noir. He's a better representation of the future. But I'm not a member so I don't get a vote.

    Convicted Felon Retires from Fox News and Friends to Head NRA

    Whatever floats your boat. I'm simply stating fact. Felon he is not. He can vote, and own guns, and has all sorts of rights just like the rest of us. Argue your point to the appeals court that vacated the charges an gave him a clean criminal record. He's no different then any other person...

    Convicted Felon Retires from Fox News and Friends to Head NRA

    He's not a convicted felon though.

    Connecticut moves toward Supporting the National Popular Vote initiative

    How do you come to the conclusion that they get 3.6 times the votes of CA? The house of representatives has 53 members from CA and Montana 1. CA has 55 electoral votes and Montana 3. What your doing is taking one of the smallest states and comparing it to the largest state in the one category...

    Gun Control Proposals

    This is why I no longer "debate" about gun bans. There's no reason. Quite simply, people are safer in the US then they've been since the 1930s. You are safer, you just don't feel safer because you get the world's news at your fingertips constantly and it's scary. The largest percentage of...

    Gun Control Proposals

    That's a huge unsubstantiated claim. Your supposition is that our homicide rate would drop with less guns. Yet our homicide rate has fallen over the last several decades with even more guns being sold. All you're proposing is that we do like the UK and shift our deaths from guns to other...

    Gun Control Proposals

    The problems in the OP are really just symptoms of larger problems. Remove the guns and the underlying violence associated with the larger socio-economic issues will continue almost unabated. Cure the disease and the symptom of violence will end with it, as well as, many other symptoms. I...

    Should I be Worried?

    You should be more worried about your general intelligence then a perceived threat from someone on social media. Your argument is older and more tired then the bloviating of some random person on Facebook.

    How Trump will Help America

    He may not be for the common man, but the Democrats certainly stopped being for them a long time ago. There's a reason the Dems lost in historically strong Democratic states. They sold out the unions. Clinton outsourced their jobs and Obama insourced them until there were fewer unions left to...

    SC Justice Scalia Has Died

    Well there was no death or retirement of a justice in those last 18 months, so it couldn't be tested. There hasn't even been an Obama nomination, so it hasn't been tested either. In both cases so far it's rhetoric aimed at cautioning the opposing party from nominating anyone who's too far from...

    SC Justice Scalia Has Died

    Maybe they learned the concept from the Democrats back when they were talking about what they would do if Bush got another chance to nominate a Justice as a lame duck president. Of course Schumer was only talking about the last 18 months of the Bush presidency not the last 10 months. Obama...
