    the batteries aren't even lasting as long as promised, and the total extra cost of the car would buy decades of fuel. the math proves electric car at present more expensive

    I can already sit in a high speed transportation vehicle that doesn't need evacuated high-tolerance tube, it just needs the pressurized tube that everyone sits inside (with luggage and avionics down below). Just like the Tesla, Musk pushes expensive toys that solve nothing and are inferior solution to existing tech (Telsa car inferior to piston engine running on biofuel)

    what if those same gasoline cars burned butanol from plant matter? seems much more environmentally friendly than batteries with toxic metals and short lifetime.

    Used old prices are relevant to this argument. A new Cessna 172R goes for $275,000, prices go up from there. 172SP for $305K

    you are the one devoid of understanding. your future hypothetical affordable one is irrelevant. The average person cannot afford a tesla, therefore the tesla doesn't solve any problem in regards to energy use. it is a toy for the affluent at best.

    No, you are. Telsa price out of range of most people, the batteries are too damn expensive

    Cops are taught not to do that though. The thing I am saddened about cops is their terrible aim, we used to let the PD of pop. 180,000 town use our club's gun range a few days a month, they would shoot at half the 50 foot range's distance, and still they were spraying ammo in three foot groups under stress of timed fire and reload scenario. disgusting. the worst of us club members could at least keep it on standard 10.5x12" bullseye paper at 50 foot

    only happened a few times but it did sometimes happen (two or more matches a week when I was really into it for three years)

    I did handload for the .45 ACP I usually used, very clean with win 231 powder and beeswax lube. I used factory ammo for 9mm in glock and p-38

    though i usually didn't use it in matches my gen 1 glock 17 "stovepiped" a couple times (was my hand tired?), and one time the brass expanded (factory flaw) such slide was stuck open a quarter inch, my gorilla friend (as in he was 6'-10" 300 lbs. muscular brute) forced it open for me. so I'd say glocks are generally reliable except the occassional times when they aren't

    except guns mechanically fail too. ever shoot an "1800 match", your gun will jam in some matches, that's some time in a 90 shot string it fails because of fouling. if you are injured or tired you can "limp wrist" the firing of a pistol so it jams. Anyone who argues with me hasn't been competition shooter firing hundreds of rounds a week for years, those who go to the range every two months and pop off a box or two STFU.

    We have high tech batteries that could tell you when they are at the 10% remaining or whatever level.

    I am against "smart weapon" being required, however as I have children and their friends in my house I'd definitely be interested in 99.9999% reliable "smart gun". Heck even "dumb guns" malfunction, or can malfunction if you are injured (e.g. hand not providing enough resistance so semi-auto pistol jams; I lead with a revolver for that reason)

    no that's not correct thinking, the manner of use of guns in combat has nothing to do with civilian handling. they run with finger on trigger, sweep friendlies with aim,etc. And shoot more rounds in month than most civilians will do in years.

    Getting shot by the USMC is not primary concern for citizens.
