Comment on Another view of deaths by George

Karrde,
I could have explained that better. What I did was take the top 20 causes of death. (Twenty causes, and “All Others”, so 21). Then for the three “gun death” categories (Suicide, Homicide, and Accidental), I separated the results into “Gun Related” and “Non-gun Related), which adds three columns, which gets you to 24.

Nice handle, by the way!

Thanks for the link.

@Dod: it’s coming. We’re running the tables out here, and your chance will come. It really is all over but the crying. They’ve lost, and they will not admit it. We may have to pry them out like the last few Japanese who refused to surrender, but we will liberate every place in the US.

Is that top 20 causes of death, or top 24 causes of death?

I count 24 columns there.

Anyway, great chart.

I probably could have put that better. What I meant was this: It’s kind of like you playing chess with a grandmaster. He says “Mate in 5.” You can either make him take the five moves, or you can just admit defeat and call it a day. The opposition refuses to just call it a day.

Make no mistake, they won’t be able to continue to violate your rights for much longer.

The legal fights are not over yet. Some of us still live in states that violate our basic rights.

Comment on On Piracy by Dod

I think there will always be a baseline level of piracy but the content producers have caused the actual amount to be much higher than it would be otherwise because they haven’t provided their customers with the product they want. Their customers are happy to pay for digital content but they want to pay for it once, and only once, and consume it where ever and when ever they want, on any device they want, and they want to stream or download content as they see fit.

I say no more anti-piracy initiatives until they provide this.

Comment on Running the numbers by Linoge

And the important thing to remember is that throughout that window, somewhere between 2 million and 4 million firearms were produced and sold here in the United States… EACH YEAR. If firearms actually caused firearm-related deaths, would we not see some kind of increase in proportion to the number of firearms, or, at least, an increase at all?

Whoops. There I go applying logic to the scenario again…
