You asked essentially how many violent crimes were presented by gun owners. Kleck did the best study to date on it and published in a peer review journal. The media doesn't bring these statistics into the conversation, which is why you wouldn't have heard about it.
Kleck conducted a national survey in 1994 (the National Self-Defense Survey) and, extrapolating from the 5,000 households surveyed, estimated that in 1993 there were approximately 2.5 million incidents in which victims used guns for self-protection, compared to about 0.5 million gun crimes as estimated by the National Crime Victimization Survey.
The biggest thing that pro gun control people do is misunderstand stats. Democide (death by governmeny) killed over 250 million people in the 20th century - all on populations that were unarmed. Ill take my increased chance of accidental discharge, etc to prevent my government from deciding to cleanse my entire town on a whim.
Epic is a steaming pile with inconsistent interfaces.
And it's listed as one of the best out there.
I use it daily and it is not intuitive, not user friendly, has a horribad UI, and not user modifiable.
The biggest problem is that Epic doesn't sell simplicity. They sell parts and each site gets to decide what parts to use. It would be like buying a Ford Explorer but only getting a parts bin and asking a local mechanic to put it together.
There are tons of user screens, small buttons, buttons that use similar names, case studies in pop-up fatigue, poor work-flow, poor UI design overall. My inbox has multiple different categories and each category screen has similar buttons that do different things. Sometimes I can route a quicknote, sometimes I can't. It's a cobbled-together piece of UI crap. Think of the first linux GUI you used and add a layer of microsoft cruft on it.
Exactly. The turnout wasn't because the owner said he was for the Biblical View of Marriage.
Everyone knows Chick-Fil-A is a Christian company. They're closed on Sundays. Was it really news that the CEO stated that he supported the Biblical version of marriage? No, it wasn't.
The reason there was such a response was the media putting words in his mouth combined with the threatened tyranny of mayors trying to bully Chick FIl-A.
It's not an economic problem because there is little profit in spam from a legitimate business. If there were, they wouldn't require the use of botnets to steal other peoples resources. The spammer can only profit because their overhead is being spread to unsuspecting users on a global scale.
People who make 16.5k in the US before taxes do not pay federal taxes, and in fact get a welfare check from the government in the form of the "Unearned Income Tax Credit".
In Mobile, Alabama, there are 15 insurance plans for a 35 year old that cost under $125/month, far short of $2200 a year.
If you've ever been in an SEC stadium with 90,000 other people trying to use their cell phones, you'll understand that live streaming Just Ain't Happenin'â. Text messages are about all you can reliably send/receive during a game.
War Eagle to all, and I can't believe but totally understand the short-sightedness of this.
The SEC became the best conference in college football because fans are rabid. They live, eat, breath this stuff year round. They talk about it year round. Trying to control pics/video/texts from a SEC game is impossible from a practical standpoint and stupid from a marketing standpoint. You want more people talking about your sport, openly, and while there. That increases your brand penetration and desirablity.
When you give people their own money back, they spend it.
Who'da thunk it?
Why, I think they could learn from this and practice some more evidence based policy by giving everyone their own money back, and then they could stimulate more than just Government Motors.

And good for the ACLU.
It appears that government is stronger than the individual in this case.
And it isn't even Ixtoc I * 0.01 at this point.
That would put it on par with Ixtoc I, which went on for 9 months and didn't kill the gulf.
It isn't as bad as the Ixtoc I spill that went on for 9 months and didn't kill the gulf. That was 30,000 barrels per day for 9 months.
a right winged pigeon from outer space.
Wouldn't an easier to implement solution be to kill calls where the cell towers determine that the phone is doing xx mph?
Still would be annoying - because passengers can use cell phones - but it would be much more effective at stopping cell phone use while driving.
Where are we going to take it?
And did Al Gore give us a curfew?

How's Michigan's economy and social programs doing with such taxes?
In the crapper? Thought so.
