Amazing article in the Huffington Post.

Radley Balko does a very nice job of presenting the readily-obtainable facts from the FBI's U.C.R., which are easy to digest and which clearly refute our vice president's contention that police today are outgunned.

"There were fewer police being murdered, fewer police being outgunned when the assault weapons ban, in fact, was in existence," Biden said.
That last sentence simply false, on both counts. So is Biden's general premise.

Go read. This is a very clear, very easy-to-understand article, with simple graphs.

Dang it.

I hate when I get my esoteric movie quotes wrong.

I was thinking, in the title of my last post, that I was quoting Brazil.

In fact, I was quoting a line from a train conductor who is being asked by a passenger to perform some menial task during a major crisis that eventually results in his death. Of course, as I heard the line, I had to read the subtitles to understand it, as it was uttered in German. Zentropa.

Not completely off the topic, but still out of context. Oops.
