That pretty much quiets mesaba’s argument that a 9mm goes through more walls then a 223. Thx.

Disclaimer: I agree with Mesaba that if you were to leave a loaded gun on the floor with children around, a rifle would lead to less self inflicted gun shots then a handgun.

Point being is that this is not an attack on freedom or the 2nd amendment. Everyone just needs Chill the F out.
Thanks for your input, Boxer.

That test is not apples to apples, using xm193 a penetrator ball round vs a 9mm jhp is not a valid test. A comparable 9mm ball round would be underwood's 9mm +p xtreme penetrator round, which would easily exceed the xm193.

Hi-powered guns are not good house guns - fired round can go through several walls possibly unintentionally killing family member in another room. The length of the AR15 or AK47 as well as all long rifles are not a good house gun because they can be difficult to move around with.

The best house gun is th 38 revolver. Easy to operate, don’t jam and the wife can easily operate. Pickup, point, and pull trigger. All the others require additional steps - taking safety off, chamber a round(could be hard for some). Ask your wife which is better for her to operate after a little practice on both(auto and revolver) and buy that.

I hope Delta doesn’t cave on the threat from the NRA to get local government in GA to not give tax breaks that other business in GA will be getting. It’s time for the NRA lobby to go.

I sent Amazon a request that they pull the NRA TV channel from their lineup on Prime media. I noted that we owned some stock, and we are Amazon Prime members.

Namaste...
PS-I am a gun owner.

Not a gun owner, just a lib who can't figure out which bathroom to use.

Home invasions around here are never one person, a revolver is not enough fire power. Proficiency with a revolver also requires constant training. I'll give you that it's harder to maneuver, but that is mitigated by the accuracy of the rifle, even under stress.

Sorry you are having trouble communicating with your wife but it is her body. I’m happy i’ve never had to go through that but I think I’d still support her decision.

The NRA is getting a TON of money right now.

They simply protect our Constitutional right.

I'm upgrading my membership to "lifetime". From what I've heard, it's a long wait on the line since so many people are doing the same.

Crazy how a handful of tweets can get these corporations running for the hills while MILLIONS of NRA members are insulted.
