Link dump

Can you "hunker down" until the police arrive, or outrun an active shooter?  No.

European Union agrees to cut carbon emissions by 40% in 15 years.  Expect more European companies to build factories here in the USA.

UK police overestimate number of firearms lost or stolen:
The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) has claimed that more legally owned firearms were lost or stolen over the last few years than appears to be the case, according to an exclusive analysis by The Register.

The discrepancy casts doubt on a new initiative pillorying gun owners for being careless about gun security.
Security is so bad on "keyless entry" automobiles that they are uninsurable in the UK.  Oops.

First link is broken

First link ( the word NO ) is still broken. Probably an interesting bit of information, but the article is undermined without it. It would be a courtesy if it was fixed.

Or not. Your choice, depending on how much you choose to communicate.

interrestingly enough, the stats for teh numbers of police owned guns that are lost or stolen are likely underestimated.
