Colorado launches firearm data dashboard

Considering the obfuscation efforts by the firearms industry and its political lackeys, this first is a huge step in the right direction, but it seems not to include firearm deaths due to police (a few years ago, one year police accounted for a quarter of the homicides in the city of Seattle, so this is a serious exclusion).  Law enforcement agencies nationwide have fought such reporting requirements (let alone data publication) forever.

And I was in the wrong hemisphere (SN 1987A can't be seen from Arizona).

I'd never heard of that stuff before.

Actually, you may late in an entirely distinct meaning of "late".  If you didn't show up because you're dead...

"They're all over at <player name>'s house playing Humans and Hangovers."

Pennywise.

It's worse, because my basement and my late father-in-law's garage also look like that, in addition to the storage unit.
