Largest Gun Study Ever: More Guns, More Murder

[NYC_SKP]

149. I have way too much regular work to do. That's not very high on my list of priorities.

And I respect and like you far to much to carry this one, CTyankee.

I stand by my skepticism of studies of this type and am under no obligation to follow up with hours and hours of reading.

Besides, while your suggestion would be a terrific way to expose any flaws in the study, most people here defending the study would find some other distraction from the points I make, call me a liar or NRA shill, etc.

So it would really be a waste of time.

This week I'm trying to comprehend new legislation regarding a Renewable Market Adjusting Tariff program that might help some local Native Americans build solar energy systems and tie the power to the grid.

Two very long documents that look like this:

6.2.2. Buyer may, at its sole cost, furnish and install one Check Meter at the interconnection associated
with the Facility at a location provided by Seller that is compliant with Buyer’s electric service requirements.
The Check Meter must be interconnected with Buyer’s communication network to permit (a) periodic,
remote collection of revenue quality meter data, and (b) back-up real time transmission of operating-quality
meter data through the telemetering system. In the event that Buyer elects to install a Check Meter, Buyer
may compare the Check Meter data to the CAISO meter data. If the deviation between the CAISO meter data
and the Check Meter data for any comparison is greater than 0.3%, Buyer may provide Notice to Seller of such
deviation and the Parties shall mutually arrange for a meter check or recertification of the Check Meter or
CAISO meter, as applicable. Each Party shall bear its own costs for any meter check or recertification.
Testing procedures and standards for the Check Meter will be the same as for a comparable Buyer-owned meter.
Seller shall have the right to have representatives present during all such tests. The Check Meter, if Buyer elects
to install a Check Meter, is intended to be used for back-up purposes in the event of a failure or other malfunction
of the CAISO meter, and Check Meter data shall only be used to validate the CAISO meter data and, in the event
of a failure or other malfunction of the CAISO meter, in place of the CAISO meter until such time that the CAISO
meter is recertified.

Not gonna call the author and ask for a copy, nope.
