Gun confiscation in perspective. Okay so with all the talk going around of gun confiscation I thought it would be good to put everything into perspective and just break it down by the numbers.   Since numbers don’t have emotion, I felt this would be the best way to look at things.   Both side of this argument are very passionate about their beliefs, but just how realistic is gun confiscation. According to the United States census bureau in 2017 America had a population of 325.7 million people. According to a PEW research trust article in June of 2017 30% of Americans own guns.   Of those 66% of gun owners have more than one gun.   Additionally, 36% of the remaining population said that they would consider owning guns.   And 72% of Americans say they have fired a gun. Using these percentages with the population we get the following. ·          97,710,000 gun owners in America o    Assuming those...

So while I was sitting at my desk this morning at 04:30 sorting through all the medial tasks I have to do on top of what I would consider the meat and potatoes of my job, I wondered what it is about me that separates myself from all the others that I work with. Why is it that everyone else goes through the day seemingly buried by all their work? Why does everyone else always pop off as though they are so stressed out?

So if it isn’t hours worked then what could it be?  As others file into the office, the day begins unfolding just the same as any other Monday. The smell of coffee freshly brewed fills the room.

Okay, so I have been looking into a few different things that have been bugging me.   On March 5 th 2018, not 30 minutes from my house some yahoo blew himself up making bombs in his apartment building.   The explosion took place during the daylight thankfully and he was the only one killed.   After police arrived on scene they determined that the materials still present were too dangerous to move the body or attempt to clean them up so they instead detonated the remainder of the materials, and now are going to demolish the rest of the building.   They have to this point still not identified publicly the individual responsible for this explosion.   Now this seems simple enough, some lunatic making bombs killed himself, but what was he using to make the bombs? Why did the bomb squad have to destroy more of the scene to contain it?   Why have they not identified this person? And how have they already said he had no know terrorist links? This happened just...
