It depends. I live in southern Indiana, so if you’re hunting deer, you’re probably doing it in the woods where you can’t really see more than 100 yards. Using flight control buckshot, the spread can still be fairly tight even out to 50 yards. There’s a lot of meat on that deer, and several pellets aren’t going to ruin…

“Regulated” in the parlance of the time meant well trained, well equipped, and well led...in the style of an army regular.

The ATF considers automatic weapons to be “machine guns”, and “machine gun” to be the term for any firearm that will continuously load and fire while the trigger is held down.

It depends on what you’re doing. You use small shot for hunting birds and larger shot for deer, etc.

This is exactly what gun shows are like.

Yup. So the question to ask is: Are you okay with sacrificing all of your personal freedoms to chase safety from something that is probably never going to go away?

Ban assault vans! No civilian needs a large van designed to drive over as many people as possible!

Tell your kids whatever you want, sooner or later they’ll find out that a lot of people are just assholes.

TL;DR: Rifles are better than pistols.

.357, .44 mag, and the like are definitely more powerful and penetrate more. That isn’t nothing, but the trade-off is only getting five or six rounds of something much more difficult to shoot.

9mm is taking over the world mainly because you can jam a couple more in the magazine than you can with .40 or .45, and because it’s a little easier to shoot. More chances to hit and being able to put more rounds on the target faster trumps having a larger bullet when you do hit.

They fire “intermediate” calibers, which are between pistol calibers and standard rifle calibers.

So can a Glock, or dozens of other models of firearm including many that have been widely available for close to a century.

Every time I hear someone say “give me another clip”, I want to throw an M1 Garand en bloc clip at their head.

Pictured: A clip. The rounds are pushed down into the gun by hand, then the clip is pulled out and discarded before the user runs the bolt forward.

Variants of the AR-15 have been used in many high-profile mass shootings in the U.S., including Sandy Hook, Aurora, San Bernardino, Sutherland Springs Church, the Las Vegas srip, the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, and most recently the Waffle House shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.

The purpose is to ensure the children of the wealthy can cut the line.

“Wife! Bafroom!”

Fixing relationship problems by having children. 30% of the time it works every time.

I get that Patrick is trying not to turn into r/relationships and order everyone to divorce their spouse the first time they spill the cottage cheese, but in this case I think it’s pretty clear. It barely took a couple of months for him to ignore his wife altogether in favor of staring at a screen. You seriously gonna…
