    People also target shoot at places other than a shooting range.

    for what?

    I hate [citation needed] bs. Google that shit yourself. If you want to be informed, take action to become informed. If you don't, no amount of effort I put into informing you will make a difference. And the ignorant outnumber me by several billion, I can not and will not do it any more.

    Last I heard we sold over 6 billion bullets a year in the US, and that was before the freak out over having a "black man" in the whitehouse. It could easily be 10 billion by now.

    The billion bullets that the department of homeland security is buying over the next 5 or 6 years that the contard conspiracy theorists bitch about constantly? That is about 3% or 4% of the ammo purchased by us civilians over the same time period. It is not impossible, or even all that improbable that a 10th of those end up being shot into something other than a target range.

    The crime is distribution, not receiving. Its perfectly legal to download any file off the internet.

    As a gun toting liberal myself, I totally agree.

    Jacketed Ammunition only nominally holds a round together. Particularly if you are talking about a higher velocity rifle round, those can often squirt a jet of lead out of the casing during ballistic deceleration.

    No. Less taxes does not mean less money for the NSA. it means the same NSA money, and more deficit spending, leading to America's total economic collapse, leaving China as the only remaining superpower.

    I wouldn't. I would walk into any store with a sporting goods section and pay cash.

    You say that as if Romney was any better in that regard. We all know that every president is going to support the military police state. But at least Obama isn't trying to destroy America with tax cuts so that a few billionaires can masturbate over an even larger pile of cash.

    Add mental health care and therapy to that. Fix the economic incentives and personal problems that can lead back to crime and you could very well create responsible citizens.

  21. Re:Did they account for Doppler? on First Exoplanet To Be Seen In Color Is Blue · · Score: 2

    when a planet begins to transition behind its star, we would be seeing the bright sunward side of the planet, so the measure is still useful. We would only be seeing the full dark side of the planet when it passed in front of the parent star.

  22. Re:Did they account for Doppler? on First Exoplanet To Be Seen In Color Is Blue · · Score: 1

    Not really. If the planet is passing directly behind the star, its vector of motion is perpendicular to the direction of observation and would produce no doppler effect. The doppler affect only matters for motion towards or away from the observer.

  23. Re:Did they account for Doppler? on First Exoplanet To Be Seen In Color Is Blue · · Score: 1

    Probably not. from the parent stars perspective the doppler discoloration is based on motion along the axis between the star and the planet. It would get much LESS doppler effect as the planets motion will be extremely low along that axis, or no motion if the planets orbit is highly circular.
