No he didn't. Wiggo posted; " Agree" In your reply to Wiggo, you mangled up an "end of quote" and it ended up like this; Clyde It should have looked like this; Clyde |

You have mangled again this time by deleteing a [ quote], it should look like this, notice the two (2) quote bars on the left. Wiggo DID NOT ask a question. |

Meanwhile in Russia. Russians are more pragmatic than Americans. |

Failed, unlike myself, to admit his mistake.You mean like this? Waiting in trepidation that the impossible may occur - You actually answer the questions raised! |

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=78752&postid=1921259#1921259 That's a strange accusation, do I have to answer a question in public that wasn't asked by you? Or, it might be that I had second thoughts, as my answer might have been against the rules. |

What false accusation is in post 1921170? edi] I have just gone back and reread your reply. And I can say quite honestly say you did not answer the question. In fact I think you failed to understand the question. So I will rephrase it, without putting in my probably poor recommendations. The present US gun culture is an obvious failure, so what can the US do to redeem it? Also I question your bullet points, the first is dubious, you said "the vast majority", PEW says only just over half. |

Well it seems like you are having problems with your bigger guns & their platforms. When two dissimilar metals come into electrical contact, as they did in this case, those metals corrode at different rates. A cathodic protection system, which would have prevented this, was never specified for the ship and therefore never installed.Galvanic Reaction has been known about & fully understood for nearly 200 years. Maybe a new amendment is required. Any that waste taxpayers funds be charged & prosecuted. Really? In the 2nd decade of the 21st century? For crying out aloud Wake Up America |

Good reply however I can't give you a +1 because of your 2nd sentence. If that is true, can you please explain how 17 amendments to the original "Bill of Rights" came about? |

+1 & deserved. Your current population is around 325m, how is it that an organisation of 5m members hold sway over the other 320m? (Aside from the obvious answer which cropped up in the Great Leader thread). |

I( wonder how many Americans have read the 2'nd amendemt and actually understood the meaning. Actually it's very tricky and much has changed since 1791. Amendment II RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/amendments/amendment-ii Modern debates about the Second Amendment have focused on whether it protects a private right of individuals to keep and bear arms, or a right that can be exercised only through militia organizations like the National Guard. This question, however, was not even raised until long after the Bill of Rights was adopted. It's strange that the US are focusing on the individual Right to keep and bear arms today. The US has today a large police force and the largest army in the world to protect US individuals. (That makes me think it would better that the US Army protect US individuals more than protect US interests oversees) There are of course exeptions where individuals have less protection in for instance in rural parts of the US. But the gun problems are not there but more in the cities where most people live in. |

Can't answer that as not fully cognisant of your culture & laws. However, what I do know is that judges (not SCOTUS) introduced legislation that directly intervenes the 2nd Amendment without any change to the constitution. All I can say is that flies in the face of those who stick adamantly to their 2nd amendment right. Why didn't they raise a furore over that legislation when it came up? |

After all that how come the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, a subsection of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, was passed by congress in Sept 1994. |

Wow, you learn something new every day :-) A February 2013 Congressional Research Service (CRS) report to Congress said that the "Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 was unsuccessfully challenged as violating several constitutional provisions". The report said that challenges to three constitutional provisions were easily dismissed. The ban did not make up an impermissible Bill of Attainder. It was not unconstitutionally vague. And it was ruled not incompatible with the Ninth Amendment by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.Would love to know what made it compatible. |

The hundreds of millions guns in possession of over one hundred million Americans Source please, my quick look says at most 40% (other sources say 32%) of households own firearms and there are 126 million households in the US. The quick calculation says your figure is double the actual number as most gun owners own more than one firearm. The most common firearms are shotguns. |

Hmm, that validates my original comment regarding the 9th. Nice to know. |
