The computer has changed all time lines in science and technology. Which is why things like the introduction of e motors and the elimination of gas engines is going to occur far more quickly than people think. The lithium battery is itself on a short pier.

Still need massive amounts of oil to produce and distribute all those things. Gas is just a byproduct.

the combustion engine rules. it remains the ultimate example of science and technology

What kind of fuel does your vehicle use ? Are you planning on purchasing a new one soon ?

it is fair to say say that it has already had 100 years and didnt replace combustion technologies.
it is far to say that the people who own the combustion technologies and the crap it runs on have made sure of it.

But now the jig is up and we can finally move on.

btw the gun will never be replaced as the best man to man people killer. It is what I would call an apex technology.

The gas engine is a joke.

LOL At least she has the sense to keep her finger off the trigger which makes her better than Feinstein.

Nonsense. The laser and the charged particle beam show great promise.

Subject: Gun Death Stats

​

The real truth about gun control! Read to the end, very interesting!
​

​
There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this
​
number is not disputed. The U.S. population is 324,059,091 as of June
​
22, 2016. Do the
​
math: 0.000000925% of the population dies from gun related actions
​
each year Statistically speaking, this ! What is
​
never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put
​
them in perspective as compared to other causes of death:
​

​

​

​
• 65% of those deaths are by suicide, which would never be prevented
​
by gun laws.
​

​
• 15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified.
​

​
• 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally
​
ill persons – better known as gun violence.
​

​
• 3% are accidental discharge deaths
​

​

​

​
So technically, "gun violence" is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100.
​
Still too many? Now lets look at how those deaths spanned across the nation:
​

​
• 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago
​

​
• 344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore
​

​
• 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit
​

​
• 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over
​
prior
​
years)
​

​

​

​
So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of
​
those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that
​
is the root cause.
​

​

​

​
This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation, or
​
about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have
​
much higher rates than others. For example, California had 1,169 and Alabama had 1.
​

​

​

​
Now, who has the strictest gun laws by far? California, of course, but
​
understand, it is not guns causing this. It is a crime rate spawned by
​
the number of criminal persons residing in those cities and states. So
​
if all cities and states are not created equal, then there must be
​
something other than the tool causing the gun deaths.
​

​

​

​
Are 5,100 deaths per year horrific? How about in comparison to other deaths?
​
All death is sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a
​
crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, rape, assault
​
are all done by criminals. It is ludicrous to think that criminals
​
will obey laws. That is why they are called criminals.
​

​

​

​
But what about other deaths each year?
​

​
• 40,000+ die from a drug overdose–THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT!
​

​
• 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal
​
gun deaths.
​

​
• 34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities(exceeding gun
​
deaths even if you include suicide).
​

​
Now it gets good:
​

​
• 200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical
​
errors. You are safer walking in the worst areas of Chicago than you
​
are when you are in a hospital!
​

​
• 710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It’s time to stop
​
the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If the liberal loons
​
and the anti-gun movement focused their attention on heart disease,
​
even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of
​
lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law
​
enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of
​
the total number of gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal
​
homicides ................ Simple, easily preventable 10% reductions!
​

​

​

​
So you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the
​
focus on guns? It's pretty simple:
​

​
Taking away guns gives control to governments. The founders of this
​
nation knew that regardless of the form of government, those in power
​
may become corrupt and seek to rule as the British did by trying to
​
disarm the populace of the colonies. It is not difficult to understand
​
that a disarmed populace is a controlled populace.
​

​

​

​
Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S.
​
Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs. So the next time
​
someone tries to tell you that gun control is about saving lives, look
​
at these facts and remember these words from Noah Webster: "Before a
​
standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed."
​

​

The strict laws followed the high numbers of gun deaths.

There was a lack of gun laws when the root cause began happening.​
