    Actually it's an n-body problem and if we're only going to consider the earth and the sun for simplicity sake, they orbit about each other. The barycentric point is within the sun due to the disparity in mass but it's not the same as the center of mass of the sun.

    We used to be able to make nuclear plants, now we can't. Either we forgot how, or something else happened. Place your bets.

    Maybe where you come from, but German police is trained to shoot to stop. ...

    That's what all police are trained for, and that's also the basis of self defense shootings; the goal is to make the person doing the bad thing stop doing that thing. The rub is that in actual practice it's very similar to shooting to kill, since mammals are notoriously hard to stop but relatively easy to wound fatally.

    A safe can provide some legal protection (kids in a house with firearms) and can bolster an insurance claim. Practically, any safe a consumer is likely to use can be defeated with 20 minutes and a $12 pawn shop grinder and cutting wheel.

    When I lock my bedroom door and open my nightstand gun safe tonight, I'll have all the time in the world to make sure it's open before I turn out the light. When I wake up in the morning and push the safe shut, it will lock reliably.

    It's not the same thing at all.

    To arrive at this "1300 children" figure the count has to include people who most don't picture as children doing things with guns they know better than to do but do anyway, like fight over drug selling corners and participate in drive by shootings as minors.

    The total number of annual accidental shootings in America is an order of magnitude fewer.
