Go ahead. Here are your declarations. Have at it. I’m sure we all look forward to being educated by the expert. We’ll wait.

-Evidence of the dart would be left behind.
-A fatal dose (of KCl) for someone like Arpiao would be about 2 teaspoons and would have to be administered into a vein to be effective.
-In order for KCl to be lethal in doses small enough to fit into this dart then it has to be injected intravenously.

And while you’re at it, since you kept using your “vein” argument, you may want to explain your apparent premise that it would be difficult for a trained assassin to find an intravenous point of entry.

Common sense. Something has to inject the poison into the person. Freezing the poison and shooting it like a projectile is scientifically impossible. It would have to be about the width of a hair. How do you put a ballistic spin on that to ensure accuracy? How do you shoot it and not have it melt? How does it not melt in the gun while waiting to be shot?

-A fatal dose (of KCl) for someone like Arpiao would be about 2 teaspoons and would have to be administered into a vein to be effective.

I'd estimate that Arpiao weighs in about about 250. A dose of potassium chloride taken orally with a 50 percent chance of being fatal is 2.5 grams per kilogram. A dose of potassium chloride injected intravenously with a 50 percent chance of being fatal is 30 milligrams per kilogram. So orally you're talking about 300 grams to be 50 percent fatal, 600 grams to be 100 percent fatal. That's almost 22 ounces. For intravenously you're talking 3600 milligrams to be 50 percent sure that its fatal, 7200 milligrams to be 100 percent sure. But again, that requires it to be administered right into the vein. What are the odds of that from a dart shot at long range?

Like I said, Google is your friend.

He’s not gonna engage. He says even if this technology was available it would be no big deal because the concept is absurd. Being able to assassinate people without anybody knowing it was murder is no big deal to this guy. It’s just what every murdererer or potential murderer on the face of the planet has been trying to come up with...

Unbelievable. If that is “no problem” then I wonder what WOULD be a problem, according to him.
