Thank you, Jerry. Google was able to find the 1996 map, but it appears they didn't hit all 50 states.

Hamiltonian?

The other day; I asked Gemini to plan a 48 state motorcyle trip where I don't go through any state twice. I think I broke it.

And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I traveled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way Regrets, I've had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all, and I stood tall And did it my way I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing And now, as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way Oh, no, oh, no, not me I did it my way For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows And did it my way

He did not prioiritize humanites over engineering - in addiiton to. My suspicion is Kallend being a well-read scholar found Aristotle's model of liberal arts to be of value. To be more well-rounded in many subjects other than their major - For what is an engineer that cannot speak/present to a group other than engineers?

Jump the main for a few to get re-oriented. Get an AAD. Reserve will be fine as long as the rigger doesn't ground it (for age or other reasons). My ground training after a nine year hiatus wearing the rig was, "What's that handle do? What's that handle do? What's that handle do? There's a plane with a slot on it, take it to 5k and do a HnP. Don't die." I heard. Have fun. Be safe.

Left. You are left all of the time as well. :)

GUYS FOUR MILES NORTH: There's a crazy ol white man down there. Don't go four miles south.

It's really just a demographic population density rebuttal. Everything is more concentrated in cities, more cars, more accidents, more everything.

You're a fucking loon.

You sound like someone with whom to converse, break bread and have a beer. All of my postings haven't been about gun control bills, but about gun responsibility. This way is not working. As a nation we can and should do better. I wish you well.

The data is extracted from the CDC. I am an (R), but tend to do more than listen to or quote main stream media or use x.com as a scholastic source.

Advocating for training, but you don't want legislation. How's the advocating working so for? Training to drive before getting a driver's license is legislated. Dead children. Firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens in the US.

Door in the face technique. Common persuasion/sales strategy. i.e., car lots.

Anecdotal, not statistical. This makes no sense to me.

Seven pages in the last 72 hours. https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/last-72-hours EDIT: But, you know - why do anything different.

The Gun Violence Archive, which began collecting data on gun violence in the U.S. in 2013 recorded more than 4,400 mass shootings in the last decade. Of those, “the number of known suspects in mass shootings which are trans is under 10 for the last decade,” which translated to “1:880 [or 0.11%] of the 4,400 shootings.” https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/

Responsibility.

Well, they can under the NFA. So, if we agree the NFA is necessary for those weapons, why not an "NFA" for other weapons? That is the battle cry, but was not the original premise. First, it wasn't until recently the 20th century that someone tied the the 2A to the "goverment that turned tyrannical." and told people that Jefferson said it. What Jefferson was speaking about was the Public School Act. " . . . perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people at large . . ." https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/bill-more-general-diffusion-knowledge/ EDIT: Found it. https://www.cnn.com/2013/01/11/opinion/jefferson-fake-gun-quotation/index.html

Happy Solstice, Nigel.

It was a starting point between eradicating the 2nd and the wild west.

But they don't. I posted this 6 years ago. Appreciate your input.

No doubt.

Exactly. With Freedom comes responsibility.

You're a bit new here and the plug is about to be pulled. I wore the uniform for twenty years. I spent a lot of time in other countries doing just that. From when I came home, I never felt the need to _have_ to wear a gun or even keep one in reach until ten years ago. In fact, ten years ago, one could not have a gun on their person or in their vehicle unless the person was registered. As to concealed carry - all for the training and registering the person. But, not every swinging Richard should have a gun so readily available as to have a rage moment and wipe out a whole block (or school).
