Need to sell all handguns and only keep rifles. Handgun bullets are too slow.

[tourproto]

This is both so sad and so funny at the same time.

Very much in line with some other posts I made recently about why the left is unsuccessful in any major form of gun control. They make such totally moronic statements, and for anyone who owns a gun (not just NRA members) they just laugh their butts off. The sad part is there are people out there who will take this as fact.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the renowned and esteemed Senator from Kalifornia, Dianne Feinstein and MSNBCs 's Lawrence O'Donnell:

MSNBC Host: Handgun Bullets Are Ineffective In Stopping School Shooters Because They're Too Slow

Here is the actual tweet from Feinstein: Sen Dianne Feinstein on Twitter

And here is the MSNBC tweet: MSNBC on Twitter

You just can't make this stuff up

Agreed, kind of like the other day I read a review and the person was demonstrating an AR in "Full Auto Semi"...

They'll do/say anything to keep guns out of the hands of their largest voting block.. teachers.

Wow! I might need to remember that costly new feature that could be added to a firearm purchase for the right buyer.

I'm sort of a "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" sort.
So what is "sad" are the millions of ears willing to believe what they hear form them.

It's not the bullets that are too slow, it is the minds of Finkstein and the rest of the antis. Besides we all know that nobody has ever used a handgun to stop a rifleman. Cept maybe those WWII GIs using their .45s... talk about slohhhhhw boolitts!

The MSNBC says that rifle bullets are 3 times faster? WAIT!!! WHAT???

So, my 124gr 9mm ammo that is traveling at 1400 fps is 3 times slower than my 62gr 556 ammo that travels at 2800 fps?

maybe when you look at the extremes that might be true, and they are all about extremes.

I guess they forgot about this?

Well, granted; my target handloads for my 38spl are so slow you can see them fly on a sunny day out to 25 yards, but they're not what I carry for social work.

You do realize that with the way math is taught in school now that 3 x 1400 = 2800 . Please don't worry about showing your work it doesn't matter, you'll pass high school anyway!

The gunman, armed with a Chinese-made MAK-90, an AK-47 clone,[25] entered the office of Brigham and London and killed both men. Mellberg continued to move through the hospital, injuring several people, and killing 8-year-old Christin McCarron. The gunman then walked out of the building into the parking lot and killed Anita Lindner. He then was confronted by a security policeman, Senior Airman Andy Brown. From approximately 70 yards away, Brown ordered Mellberg to drop his weapon. After Mellberg refused, Brown fired four shots from his 9mm pistol, with two rounds hitting the perpetrator in the head and shoulder, killing him.

If you had a choice between a handgun or a rifle in a fire fight, the choice is obvious. But that is if you know what you are getting into. A handgun is never a good first choice, but for a lot of the time it is the only PRACTICAL choice. Saying a handgun is too slow is to admit you know little about the subject.

^^^you two brothers?

I have no idea what to what you are referring. Are you saying you would choose a handgun over a rifle?

 

[slimmer13]

I was referring to the Brown bros

Good answer.

Of course I(like most people on this forum) know handguns are not slow. Was just sharing a cool vid.
