NYTimes. We need smaller bullets

[scruff]

Cool. I always wanted a Five-seven.

[:-)]

What good is a bullet if it can't kill what you need killed?

Do these people have any idea what they are talking about?

[wanneroo]

It's funny because as I am sure everyone knows Canada has restrictions on magazines and dimensions on pistols and you go to a gun store there and all the pistols are these big ole hand cannons.

Libtards are just a hoot, can't have small pistols or larger magazines, so people are like ok, we'll find another way to equal the odds.

Clueless propagandists.

The rights of the law-abiding are not limited by what the criminals would do. People own guns to stop predators, and "stopping power" matters. Telling some single mother that she's only allowed a 6-shot .22 to stop the 4 rapists who just kicked in her door, and she's only able to wound them so that they have to show up at a doctor's office a few hours later, after they've dumped her body and sold her daughters to the sex slave trade.....not so smart.

The yuppies at the NYT seem to be completely unaware that most people use guns legally. They also seem to believe that prior to the 1990's, the only guns in common use were "Saturday Night Specials", named that by racist Lefties from the ugly term "******town Saturday Night". Cheap, throwaway guns in smaller calibers that the cheap materials could survive, like .22 and .25 and .32.

The facts are that 90% of all non-head shot victims survive. That's pretty good for the "modern" auto-loading, larger-than-.22 weapons like the high-tech 1911 model of the .45, in common use for 108 years so far. The truth is that the law-abiding spent most of the 20th century opting between .38 .38 Special and .357 Magnum and .45 ACP, because they weren't buying cheap throwaway guns. Civilian guns tracked cop guns, and NO police department ever issued .22 caliber sidearms to their officers. Ever.

Try selling the idea of those 6-shot .22 revolvers as standard police sidearms. Let me know how well that goes over.

For collectivist fascists to succeed in their Orwellian schemes, they have to re-write history. And they try, every day.

Exactly. 2 million times a year good citizens are going to wish they had something bigger than the .17HMR or .22 shorts the democrats let them carry for personal protection.

But do we need the New York Times?

Smaller penises = less rapes.
Now it all makes sense......

[God's Country]

Smaller penises = less rapes.
Now it all makes sense......

No penises means less rapes........I'm seeing a pattern develop.

It is a worthless Far Left Propaganda rag. They have no clue, and they don't care. If they can convince a few more people that all guns are bad, then they win.

Over recent decades, the size of bullets fired by the typical handgun has increased. Changes in design have made it easier to fire big bullets from concealable weapons, and manufacturers have marketed more powerful guns as better tools for self-defense. In the 1970s and 1980s, the guns most commonly used in crime tended to be revolvers or small, inexpensive pistols that fired .22-caliber rounds, so-called for their 0.22-inch diameter.

Wonder where they found that remark, and did they wipe the spot after they were done producing the "facts".

Apologies for the gross images but I'm growing impatient with Wall Street and their Corporate Socialist nonsense.

Their biggest shareholder is Carlos Slim, owner of the Mexican Telephone Company.


Oligarchs buy news papers in order to lie to the rest of us. I don't recall if he's the second or third richest person on Earth.

Certainly newsworthy but rarely reported.
