He was right leaning so you are probably correct. But I would think his murder might have happened earlier if weapons were legal for most citizens as in the US.
I'm not so sure. The assassin took advantage of the fact that nobody was expecting a gunman. In an armed society, there would have been more defense measures present to prepare for such an attack

Space is limited and coveted. What better way would you propose to allocate it than to give it to who can bring in the money to pay for it? That money goes to building new spaces, which is good for everyone.
> What better way Open up all federal grants -- especially NSF grants -- to anyone with credentials or experience necessary to PI (so, a PhD or equivalent industry experience). Broaden the reviewer pool so that each panel is at least 51% non-Professor expert citizens. I can do a LOT of advising and conduct a LOT of research with close to 0% overhead. But most NSF grants are only possible to get if you attach yourself…
Spoken like someone whose never done research. I’d love to hear what kind of research you think you can do at 0% overhead. No one can do anything at 0% overhead, are you serious?

Not true. My manual civic was stolen 5 times in 5 years. Car thieves learn how to break into various makes and models of cars and hotwire them. They have also figured out this thing called a "clutch".
in the last 5 years? thieves these days are young kids who have never seen three pedals
You're obviously wrong about the car thieves, because this happened to my car. Two of the thieves were central american gangsters. They left reggaeton and stolen audio systems in the car. Another guy was an old meth-head, who stole and lived in it for a week by the bay. I found all his drug crap in it afterward.
