"If the guns are illegal..." That was not in the list of policies I quoted. The policies mentioned had to do with concealed carry and transport. Your reply is based on a misread.

Long guns (rifles and shotguns) account for something like 2% of gun-involved homicides. People use them for mass shootings, but they also use pistols, and there's not a huge difference in the outcome. Your proposed law would have very

The perfect is the enemy of the good. 24 is 6 extra years of maturing. That will save a lot of lives (not just mass shootings, but gang violence and suicides). And 24 better reflects reality in terms of adulthood. Not only that, but it&#x27

A 16 year old was effectively an adult not so long ago. Today, an 18 year old is a child. We should just move the age of majority to 24 or so. Guns and voting would start there. Vices and contracts would be some sliding scale.

I've often wondered what would happen if mass shootings were just reported in some dry government report released on some Friday in July. (Obviously this would either have to be a voluntary media cooperation or violate the free press.

An otherwise informative article, but using the term "military-grade" seems out of place. The term has little meaning. You could call socks "military-grade" as well, and the only meaning that it really conveys is that it

This is effective because analysis paralysis is mentally draining. We tend to think/optimize in terms of time. But I've found it helpful to optimize for mental energy, which is often the limiting factor.

But in the absence of evidence that corroborates the claim of racism, it's mere speculation. Particularly here, where the alternative action (not recommending sunscreen for dark-skinned people) could also be seen as racist, it seems un

It sounds more like they just want to sell more sunscreen. They don't really care what color your skin is as long as money is changing hands. Nothing racist about that. And doctors don't want to differentiate because it's saf

I agree that local zoning is a problem, but I've seen a trend to try to turn it into the wild west. I'm not sure people building duplexes in R1 is really a solution. It seems like we need more medium density in commercial areas (e

How does all this look to the federal government and deficit spending? What happens when they can't borrow money at near-zero any more, and need to borrow more money at 5-10%? Everyone always said the debt was nothing to worry about. I

In a civil suit, you don't get the assets until you win (and maybe not even then). Here, the government takes them by force immediately, and you have to fight for them back. Not the same thing.
