I often hear about the roughly 12,000 gun deaths each year in the US. When you subtract the number of shootings by police, and the number of civilian shootings ruled justifiable, you get a figure of around 8,000 per year. That's just deaths (including suicide). But lets add in gun crimes where no one dies. Armed assault, robbery, kidnapping, rape, attempted murder, etc. The FBI estimates firearms are used in close to 500,000 crimes per year in the US. A half million.
They also estimate that roughly 2 million violent crimes per year are stopped or prevented by citizens with legally owned firearms. That's four times as many. (So yes, since most people are not inclined to commit violent crimes, more guns DO equal less gun crime. Preditors don't like prey that bites back.)

I'll be honest, except for the request for funding for better school security, I didn't see one NEW thing in that bill that isn't Already covered in other federal gun laws. All guns bought through the mail or over the internet already have to be sent to a licensed gun dealer before they can be transffered. All licensed gun dealers already have to to background checks on all gun sales they are a party to, whether in their shop or at a gun show. (I was a custom knife dealer and worked at gun shows for many years.) And since FBI stats show that less than 4% of criminals buy the guns they use through legal channels, this only has minimum effect on crime. The NRA has been lobbying for 20+ years for stricter enforcement of the gun laws that are already on the books, but no one wants to do that. In that time roughly 76,000 people have been denied a gun on background checks. Of those only 44 people have been found to be actually prohibited from owning guns, The rest were clerical errors and so called "false positives" (2 people with the same name, etc). Of the 44 who were actually prohibited by law from owning guns, only 17 of them have ever been brought up on charges, even though lying on the forms is a felony.

In the books, Jack Reacher is known for 2 things: his great detective skills, and his ENORMOUS physical presence. His size is just as much a part of the character as James Bond's sex drive is basic to those films. This was a bad choice. The movie may be good, but it will have to be a radical departure from the novels.

As an English teacher myself I find this approach kind of refreshing. Back in the States I also practiced martial arts for 30+ years and often helped my teachers train local police and occasionally military units who were looking for outside instruction. This kind of hands on experience is especially useful in creating a reactive mind-set. Those curved metal poles can generate a lot of leverage when used correctly, but unless you get to try it once or twice you're not going to be able to pin someone to a wall or floor. I WAS surprised to hear they advocate beating the LEO with real objects, but different strokes for different folks.

@Cleo: Oral sex can be forced just like any other kind. First there's the fear factor of a large, violent, possibly armed person grabbing you and forcing you into the dark. Many people will comply just out of fear. Second there's the gag reflex: shove something far enough down your throat and you physically CAN'T bite it because your jaws reflexively spread.Teaching self defense for many years has taught me that people react different ways to stress and adrenalin. You can't blame a victim of a violent attack for not reacting the way we like to think we would or could.

As a foreigner it still strikes me as very odd that the tunnels and roads are maintained by private companies and that these exact same companies are in charge of the inspections. One or the other I could see as being reasonable, but both? Come on...

The "Expert" is "an author of historical novels which work in aspects of the martial art Aikido"? Seriously? Why not Johnny Depp, an actor in historical films which work in aspects of fencing? I'd be about as helpful.

@ Betraythetrust:I have encountered many serviceman from around the world including retired, the worst offenders for loutish, loud and brash behaviour were the Americans now or recently served. The older ones seemed more clued up. The facts are the military is here to serve US interests and picks many thugs from the bottom of society to make up the numbers.
I would gladly pay extra taxes to compensate Japanese businesses from US custom and keep the streets safer as i am sure many also would.
I'll be the first to admit that not all American service personel are the cream of society, but given the number of servicemen here who actually commit crimes or cause trouble versus the number of trouble making Japanese men the same age, A Japanese woman has a LOT more to fear if she runs into a Japanese on the street than she does if she runs into a U.S. Sailor or Marine. I think the last statistics I saw said A Japanese was 3 times more likely to commit rape or assault. The trains don't have women only cars because we're here.

My wife cried and hugged me and pet the ring on to admire the sparkle like a little girl. And then a week later we went to the jewelry store to get it sized. And she was as happy as I've ever seen her. No need for this site. And the "a man can only open one woman's page in his life" stuff is a pain. What if she says no? What if this is gonna be his 2nd marriage?

Okay I'm white, and I oppose President Obama. But why do those two things automatically have to be considered to be linked? Why can't it be because I feel like his economic policies are crippling our recovery and pose a serious threat to the future wellbeing of the country? Why can't it be because he's used executive orders to get around having things decided be congress more often than his last 3 predecessors combined?Why can't it be because he refuses to let the DoJ enforce immigration law, fire arms laws, or hate crimes laws? I can name a half dozen conservative blacks I would be more than happy to see as president.
I oppose Obama because he's a leftist and he's bad for the future of my country.

Very interesting. I've read several reviews of the speech on American news sites, but this is the first place that anyone has said it was anything other than a home run. I have a few close friends and family who are Obama supporters, but the vast majority of people I know are fed up with his handling of the economy, his use of executive orders to ram his pet projects through without running them by congress,all he's done to handicap small businesses (The largest group of employers in the USA), and worst of all his attacks on civil rights. He basically nationalized the auto industry and handed it over to his buddies in the UAW. He okayed the execution of an American citizen w/o arrest or trial. He pushed for giving the military the right to detain civilians w/o trial or even charges INDEFINATELY. He used executive privellage to try and cover up the Fast and Furious scandal. He won't let the border patrol and INS enforce the law and deport illegal aliens.He's just plain bad for the country and needs to go.
JT Moderator: Once again, you really have no grasp of the situation. Racism certainly does have a place in the discussion. When Democrats can't win on the strength of their arguments they always call the opponents racists. Even though historically they're the ones who supported Jim Crow laws, faught against desegregation, and have done the least to help minorities. It's the one lie they come back to again and again. Please don't take that from them or they won't have anything left to say.

To those of you who say "Don't get involved", you make me sick. I'd rather get killed myself than stand around and watch someone wind up dead or brain damaged because I was too scared to say or do anything.

Well at least tis year they began using asians in underwear ads. I remember going to meet my wife several days a week where she worked (ladies dept of a major dept store) and for years every single poster for womens' undergarments was a white person. As if no Japanese woman head ever bought a bra and panties.

This has got to be the worst dating advice I've ever seen. The only thing even close to being helpful to anyone was show interest in what other people say. If any girl said any of the rest of it to me I wouldn't be able to get away from her fast enough! I always think it's interesting to read articles BY WOMEN who try to explain what men think or want. It's almost always 180 degrees opposite the truth. It's almost like they're trying to sabotage the the competition.

After being in Japan for 7 years I finally had one again when a coworker brought some back from Hawaii. I couldn't believe how salty they were. I'd never noticed it growing up in the States, but now they weren't nearly as good as I remembered from my childhood.
