We're scared of the dipshits who use them.After all, they are only twenty-two caliber.
Tell us you know nothing about guns without telling us you know nothing about guns.After all, they are only twenty-two caliber.
Reprehensibles
Knives are used in 100% of knife homicides.Rifles are used in 100% of rifle homicides.
Knives have many wonderful purposes that have nothing to do with violence and killing.Knives are used in 100% of knife homicides.
You obviously have never hunted for food.Knives have many wonderful purposes that have nothing to do with violence and killing.
Why? Gun owners kill four times more people than heroin dealers. Gun owners are pampered and catered to.

Just to clarify which kind of stupid you are is your argument here that knives are only used for hunting for food or that hunting with rifles does not involved gun violence or death?You obviously have never hunted for food.
It's probably because that darn media keeps hiding all those incidents of heroin dealers going into schools and killing a bunch of kids and teachers in one swoop of forcing them all to overdose on heroin immediately - not to mention all those cases of people accidentally killing themselves and others by unintentional snortings and those stray injections.Why? Gun owners kill four times more people than heroin dealers. Gun owners are pampered and catered to.
That's the meaning you got from my post? Lol. I hope you aren't really a teacher.Just to clarify which kind of stupid you are is your argument here that knives are only used for hunting for food or that hunting with rifles does not involved gun violence or death?
Huh? Heroin dealers are gun owners. What does that do to your maths? Lol.Why? Gun owners kill four times more people than heroin dealers. Gun owners are pampered and catered to.
Rifles used to commit homicides kill 100% of the victims.Rifles are used in only 2.6% of homicides.
Speaking as one myself, it is very hard to find a long-term teacher who doesn't have deep-seated mental issues of one kind or another.That's the meaning you got from my post? Lol. I hope you aren't really a teacher.
“I often use the analogy that the injury to the liver [with a semi-automatic rifle] would be similar to just taking a watermelon and dropping it on the cement. It’s incredible the amount of energy delivered. … By comparison, the 9 millimeter would drill a hole through the liver. So you’d have a sizable hole, but if you didn’t hit a major blood vessel, it’s a pretty tolerable injury. In fact, we in civilian trauma will often manage a 9-millimeter liver injury without an operation, whereas a patient with an assault rifle would be dead within 20 minutes if you didn’t operate,” he said.
Other human tissue in the body reacts differently. “If you struck a bone with an AR-15, like your femur in your leg, it would literally shatter into multiple fragments that would sort of serve as secondary missiles. Whereas … we’ve seen 9 millimeters that will actually drill a hole right to the femur,” he said. (An AR-15 is a lightweight semi-automatic – that is, self-loading – rifle manufactured by Colt; other gunmakers make rifles in a similar style.)
https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/08/health/gun-violence-human-body-damage-gupta/index.htmlMoore also brings up cavitation as a way of visualizing what is happening in the body. He describes cavitation “as the result of a rapid expansion of the tissues surrounding the path of the bullet. … In essence, instead of a virtual drill hole with a 9 millimeter, your path of injury in tissue with an AR-15 will be 6 inches wide. And the path beyond that is even wider, but the tissue recoils back into it,” said Moore, noting that inelastic tissue – like the liver, heart and brain – are the most vulnerable to this type of energy.
The high-velocity rounds of an AR-15 rifle cause extensive damage to human bodies. These bullets can travel at high speeds, fragmenting upon impact and causing severe tissue damage, shattering bones, and causing life-threatening injuries.
AR-15 bullets have the potential to penetrate body armor, making them highly lethal even in situations where individuals have protective gear.
6. What makes the AR-15 so deadly?
The combination of high velocity, fragmentation upon impact, and the ability to cause significant tissue damage make the AR-15 a highly lethal weapon.
The gun is the weapon of choice for many mass killers. It fires bullets at such a high velocity – often in a barrage of 30 or even 100 in rapid succession – that it can eviscerate multiple people in seconds. A single bullet lands with a shock wave intense enough to blow apart a skull and demolish vital organs. The impact is even more acute on the compact body of a small child.
“It literally can pulverize bones, it can shatter your liver and it can provide this blast effect,” said Joseph Sakran, a gunshot survivor who advocates for gun violence prevention and a trauma surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
During surgery on people shot with high-velocity rounds, he said, body tissue “literally just crumbled into your hands.”
The carnage is rarely visible to the public. Crime scene photos are considered too gruesome to publish and often kept confidential. News accounts rely on antiseptic descriptions from law enforcement officials and medical examiners who, in some cases, have said remains were so unrecognizable that they could be identified only through DNA samples.
ALL GUNS CAN kill, but they do not kill equally.
Compare the damage an AR-15 and a 9mm handgun can do to the human body: “One looks like a grenade went off in there,” says Peter Rhee, a trauma surgeon at the University of Arizona. “The other looks like a bad knife cut.”
The AR-15 is America’s most popular rifle. It has also been the weapon of choice in mass shootings from Sandy Hook to Aurora to San Bernardino. In Orlando, the shooter used a Sig Sauer MCX, an AR-15 style rifle originally developed for special ops, to kill 49 people in the Pulse nightclub.
