  1. Home owner should be fined $100 for missing their heads, given a grand worth of ammo and sentenced to 40 hours free range practice/instruction so that he can kill the crims next time.    :-O

  2. BarocaS2 No?  Well I guess their next victims will likely be killed thanks to attitudes like yours.  Get back to me after your house has been repeatedly broken into and see if your tune is not adjusted a tad. Or maybe you are a thug too and so sympathize with them?  The law doesn't slow these animals down, the fear of getting shot by a home owner DOES.

  3. migueslick I totally hear you...  I don't really want thieves to get executed, not even close.  I'd probably prefer to work them half to death breaking rocks by hand if it would teach them the value of the dollars that they were burning via stealing instead. But one can make a decent argument that the THREAT of death, a burglar knowing someone who got shot by a home owner...that is a reasonable compromise.  In other words: burglarizing a residence damn well better be dangerous.  If you have been hit a few times you might smile when a Crim gets waxed.

  4. They say obesity can kill you.  No doubt his weight was a factor in breaking his ankle as well.

  5. I bet he won't try that particular stunt again anytime soon.   Seriously this should be a cautionary story for those who fly similar machines.

  6. Depending on the frequency and duration of the "pulses" I would think that could drive the passengers batty if they were conscious.

  7. NO LOSS here, rubbish cars and conmen, I mean car salesmen, are dime a dozen.

  9. BarocaS2 Yes it should be a crime to feed greasy burgers to children with all the obesity, diabetes and heart disease running rampant and killing half a million Americans every year.  Compare that to how many die from pulling a trigger on a semi auto weapon at a shooting range.

  10. eagle0468 I don't think you can shoot someone running away OUTSIDE your residence legally anywhere.  Unless you can make a good case that you had reason to believe they might turn and shoot at you or something like that.  If your life is not immediately threatened your not likely to get off scott free.   Sometimes cops will tell you that if you shoot someone in your house...put a big kitchen knife in their dead hand just to make things simple and clear.

  11. Nikkas rViolent Fortunately very few of us will ever find ourselves in such a miserable circumstance.

  12. BarocaS2 Research crime rates.  They are near all time lows in America.  Just because a solitary airliner crash gets months of media attention doesn't mean air travel isn't the safest way to get around--it is.  Same with reporting of other dramatic events.  People wind up with a totally warped perception of relative risks based on media coverage.

  13. BarocaS2 You made it sound like there was an increase in crime or shootings when there just isn't.   You could pick any year in history and list a litany of bad happenings.

  14. b Yup.  Nice clarification.

  16. Ricky Norton Is it that simple? :-))

  17. Ricky Norton Just a little perspective--the crime rate in the USA is about half of what it was in the mid-90's and remains today at near all time lows. It's something of a mystery as to how crime has dropped so much so fast but it does track (with a 20 year delay) the major decrease in blood lead levels....that fact has to be interesting. Correlation does not guarantee causation but it strongly suggests it, especially in this case since lead exposure has been know since the Roman Empire to decrease IQ and increase violent tendencies. Not surprisingly, there are more shootings when more guns are out there, but also a lot fewer property crimes where the public is well armed.

  18. Ricky Norton What the hell is the matter with you?

  19. Ricky Norton My comments were a proper response to YOUR comments. Maybe you don't have the attention span, reading comprehension or mental fortitude to understand?....I dunno.

  20. Michael Bishop You better stick to pedal power then because petrol cars burn up all the time, so often in fact it's not even news. EVs are new therefore every single incident of any type makes headlines which can be very "relative risk" misleading.

  21. Romeo W Are you really that much of a fool for headlines? Tesla's represent a new design so every incident get's reported whilst the constant petrol cars burning up do not. Headlines have a relative risk reverse corolation--that is the more something get's reported the less common it is--take airlines for example, ridiculously safe so it's easy to report every single failure that ever happens anywhere on the planet where as road fatalities are a perpetual stream of carnage (pun) that rarely get mentioned.

  22. Biggest issue may be the extreme cost vs indirect fusion plus storage. Worth pursuing anyway but I seriously doubt it will ever be competitive.

  23. Jo LC I will defend both the Ford Pinto and Teslas for the same reasons--It's media hype in both cases The Pinto was not near as bad as the public was led to believe and it was fixed with a simple recall. (I did a report for an engineering class on the subject once and looked into all the details) With Tesla every single incident get's reported because EVs are new, it's just the nature of news along the lines of why every airliner crash gets endless headlines (because they are so rare and spectacular) whilst the constant car crashes and fires do NOT make the news.

  24. It's nothing but a name now, rubbish cars.
