http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr...ime/murdermain An estimated 14,748 persons were murdered nationwide in 2010. This was a 4.2 percent decrease from the 2009 estimate, a 14.8 percent decrease from the 2006 figure, and an 8.0 percent decrease from the 2001 estimate. I believe you are...

Oh man. 3% isn't necessarily significant. Especially when you look at the margins of error attached to a lot of crime statistics. In my city, the police department loves to use percentages with homicides. For example, 33 people murdered in 2011, and 31 people were murdered in 2012. The...

I don't know the actual number off hand, but I think the 3 percent translates into fewer than 100 actual people. From a coldly practical standpoint in a population of 300million+, some eggs are going to get broken. And to use another cliche, politics is simply closing the barn door after the...

I think that's an important detail that is lost on a lot of people. Guns and ammo are a very costly hobby, and some of the right to bear arms has already been relegated to the wealthy -- people need to cough up for tax stamps, FFLs, and gun trusts. 2A reform could be a chance to make some of...

I'm a-ok with licensing and periodic renewals. The work I needed to put into my concealed carry permit made a whole lot more sense than simply being able to buy a gun following 30 minutes of boilerplate and a phone call. I'd like licensing even more if it was federal and superceded the arbitrary...

It's the same for the ct200h (and I assume the Prius). Basically, econ and normal modes have varying degrees of mushy throttle response, which prevents the driver from giving too much gas. Sport mode gives immediate torquey response -- ct200h is actually pretty hoppy off the line...quick 0-30...

Thanks for calling me dishonest! I couldn't tell from the point in the thread that the topic was so exclusive! Your point is a simple one. Of course you can't knife 50 people as easily as you can shoot 50 people. Nor does a knifer keep EMS at bay like a gunman does. Like I posted, guns let...

I can't say I've been in a gun or knife fight, but I've been trained to shoot and conceal carry. The rule I've been taught isknife attacker within 20 feet beats handgun. At that close range or closer, there is not enough time to get off the shots required to stop the attacker; you will get...

My wife and I went to Austin in December (probably well-timed because UT was just on winter break). I went to school there. I still love it. It's gotta be one of the best cities in the U.S. Don't feel like you need to spend a lot on a hotel. This place is fine and has more of an Austin feel...

/agree...that would pretty much make it perfect. Keep your eye on Tesla. I think they'll be bringing some good stuff to the table in the next few years.

So far, I love it, and I average 41mpg on city and highway. I think if you're interested in it for mileage, plush commute, and slick looks (more refined than the Veloster, imo), you won't be disappointed. It isnota speed performance car. Think of a it as a sporty Prius, not a sporty Lexus...

The X1 rocks. I couldn't find a bare-bones sDrive though, and I ended up going for mileage and comfort with the ct200h:
