Be careful with that depending how you do it. It is highly recommended to not modify your carry gun in any way. A trigger job will be spun by a prosecutor as blood lust.

Obama commissioned it. The report is linked below and cites CDC.

I'm really trying to find where I saw 360%, it has been a while, I might have to update if I find it. The 2001 Kleck study was 4 years newer and gave the range 166% to 1000%. And it says in the context of 300k firearm crimes in 2008

Worse yet ion propulsion uses positive ions. Negative ions clean the air and have beneficial effects to humans and plants. Positive ions do the opposite.

Out of every time one is used against a person. That is a huge distinction. Guns are used tremendously beyond that.

Weapons are just tools. The CDC did a study that showed guns are used 360% more often to protect than they are used by criminals. I would be proud of making a military weapon used to actually defend our country. The problem is our milita

There is no real difference between the left and right at the high levels of government. We live under crony capitalism, the worst mixture of bad government being run by bad corporations.

I made good money back in the day scraping fortune 100 companies for fortune 500 companies. Everyone does it for market intelligence. It is rarely made public though.

It is possible but takes the right team. Lots of people are perfect for it. It really depends on the lifestyle you live. If you are running it you have to replace people pretty quick if it doesn't work out and you'll probably e

No doubt there is some enforcement but it could get a lot better and still be a disaster. They need a zero tolerance policy backed up by jail time. I was in China 2 years ago and the Beijing air was gross and half the people were wearing

It can go beyond just simple incentives as well. Uber was effectively driven out of China by the government 'picking' Didi. They wanted to reduce the size of their military but didn't want unemployed soldiers and transition

One of the primary reasons it is cheaper to build in China is they do not enforce pollution laws. We outlawed destroying the environment and all our friendly harmless corporations just moved production to where it is de facto legal. If we

I mean to order all slaves free in the southern states while keeping slavery legal and active in the north for 5 years is pure hypocrisy that proves it was not about the moral issue of slavery. It was a federal takeover and we are still re

Yet the emancipation proclamation only freed slaves in the south. Slavery was not outlawed for the northern states and over 3 million remained slaves in the north until 1865. That is called hypocrisy. It wasn't about the slaves.

They were defending themselves from protectionism. The states had every right to secede. Lincoln ushered in the era of crony capitalism. All wars are a racket, every single one.

Go read all of Lincoln's racist quotes. He is on record saying he would keep the slaves slaves if that meant the country stayed together. He wanted them all exported back to Africa. Slave owners in the south were a very small percen

Slavery was already on the way out. It was all about protectionist laws. Slavery doesn't create wealth, it actually holds back industrialization. There are countries in Africa where slavery is still rampant and it does not create we

I consider intelligence to be the ability to predict the future. The average human has reached a level of intelligence that allows them to bypass immediate impulses for a greater reward at a later time. Also in a way we are a nested intel

Capitalism is literally the private ownership of the means of production, aka simple freedom. We in the US have never lived with anything but crony capitalism. Capitalism is the only process so far that creates wealth for everyone. If pe

The act does not require the US to use metric in any capacity. It is optional. If it did kids would not be taught using the imperial system.

The US didn't adopt the metric system because it was considered blasphemous since the French used it. I'm not joking. We got screwed by a bunch of demagogues.

Good points, and I'm no expert. I do think the VA outperforming private hospitals could be in line with it having different incentives, like fixed pricing and not being run as a profit mill. Different incentives due to a different no

I think it is worth studying. In regulatory based hospitals there are natural profit incentives that are only gated by the law. The hospital has no incentive to go above and beyond the basic legal requirements for sanitation and won'
