Jesus saves. Wearing protective gear is admitting you don't believe in him and his love for you. Also, it is personally inconvenient, and that is worse than anything else that could ever happen.

So going by patriots.win I was curious how they would be reacting to the Daunte Wright Spoiler alert sexism "women can't be cops, look what happens when you make one one" is 98% of reaction

5.56mm is a small caliber, though—it’s essentially the same caliber as a biathlon target rifle (.22) and significantly smaller than hunting calibers intended for deer or elk (.30-ish), let alone most handguns which tend to be chambered in 9mm, .357/.38, .40/10mm, or .45. It’s not an especially powerful round and some 5.56 bullets can barely go through drywall, which is part of why an AR is a safer home defense weapon than a pistol—the other part being that it uses two hands and is therefore much easier to control. It’s precisely because it’s not all that powerful that it’s such an effective round in a semi-automatic rifle: with less recoil, it’s easier to make follow-up shots at a high rate of fire than with a full-power rifle cartridge. The tl;dr is that caliber isn’t the right metric to use when legislating gun laws and it’s exactly the sort of thing (liberal politicians who don’t know the details of what they’re proposing to restrict) that gun nuts like Boebert carp at when scare-mongering for re-election. Then again most gun violence is tied up with crime that stems from systemic inequality, and god forbid politicians actually make meaningful progress in taking down the system that keeps them and their corporate sponsors in power.

5.56 rounds are fired at much higher velocity than a handgun round and tumble and cavitate when a person is hit and are pretty lethal no matter where they hit. If it hits a limb it's probably a goner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr7dpEDNNC4 I remember reading about the doctors trying to treat the wounds, they are near impossible to save compared to handgun wounds https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/02/what-i-saw-treating-the-victims-from-parkland-should-change-the-debate-on-guns/553937/

Yeah exactly—it’s more powerful than many larger caliber projectiles. It’s also less powerful than hunting rifles, which are everything to the right of it on that graph other than 7.62x39 (the AK-47 cartridge). The entire point of my post was to note that “high caliber” is a meaningless term when discussing how powerful guns actually are. Anyway LOL

It’s worth nothing to laypeople that 5.56 is a plenty powerful round and it blasts through drywall like nothing, it just breaks up as it does so, which is part of its design as a small caliber high velocity round. It’s only “weak” when compared to full scale high caliber rifle rounds.

Depends on what you mean by a “tiny woman gun” but probably 1) yes technically, but 2) if you want to defend yourself with a gun I suggest you only do so given you can budget the time and the money to be a proficient and responsible gun owner. This includes a whole lot more than just owning a gun, and if anything involves doing you best to avoid situations where you’d need to use it.

The answer to your question has a lot to do with the race and socioeconomic status of the people dying from handgun wounds versus those killed in mass shootings at suburban high school, as I imagine you were implying.

A coworker got a 9mm and phantasized about homedefense and how it would keep the government at bay, if enough people were armed....here in central europe. Then his infant daughter swallowed a padlock and his wife declared him an idiot.

It’s mildly inconvenient while you get used to wearing a mask, coupled with not being able to see the poor shop assistant/Walmart greeter/waitresses face and they might be making faces! under the mask instead of being forced to smile at them at all times no matter how abusive they are.

I don't want to cripple anyone for life, which is why I trap burglars in elaborate maze-like themed dungeons where it's up to them to choose between following the rules of the ironic but deadly games I've set up for them based on my knowledge of their past and personal shortcomings, or die due to their own actions, leaving me not only blameless, but also seen as a hero of sorts by many.

I don't want to kill anyone but if an intruder gets truding into my home I will find that bad guy look him straight in the eye and shoot myself in the head. He will never be the same after that and I get to go to home early.
