.22 is lethal

Yes, we know this.

No one has ever said it's not deadly. More people die from .22lr shots than any other round. However, in most cases, it is not an ethical round to use when hunting. Yes, it kills things (including people), but it often makes for a long and unpleasant death. I think most hunters prefer a quick, clean kill and .22 often fails to do that. That's the only debate I've seen around the effectiveness/deadliness of .22lr.

All guns are lethal.

"“There is a widespread misconception that if you talk to your child about guns they will know enough about how to act around a gun. The problem is, they are still children and studies show, over and over, they will not act as an adult will around a gun,” says Laura Cutilletta, a senior staff attorney with Legal Community Against Violence, a public
interest law center dedicated to preventing gun violence, located in San Francisco."

(sounds like another Medusa offshoot of the Brady Bunch)

Laura Cutilletta needs to shut her mouth and go back to leeching off the state payroll. The more time she spends spouting about gun issues, the less time she has to think of the children, especially the "at risk" youth

It's not a smart choice for Self Defense, but might be a good choice for MURDER.

How correct your are. At times in history .22 caliber was used for just that by criminals and tested by our military for assignations.. Another poster pointed out more humans die from .22 than any other caliber..good point, I did not know that. This may be true in the USA. During my carrier the tragic incidents were the youngsters who had access to .22 caliber firearms and either accidently shot themselves or a friend or did it to commit suicide. I always thought is was in part due to the caliber not being taken that seriously and therefore the rifles (mostly) were left unlocked with available ammo in the residence.

"A variant of the World War II-era High Standard target pistol was used as the basis for the High Standard HDM suppressed military model used by the Office of Strategic Services and later the US Military and Central Intelligence Agency."

You can kill someone with a damn slingshot. That doesn't mean I wouldn't pick my .45 over it if given the choice.

So is the spoon and fork i'm using for lunch, it's lethal if you can use it the right way...but would you use a spoon or fork, when you have a gun?

I have placed thousands of .22's on paper targets and soda cans with extreme prejudice.

Damn it, lock up your guns people, even if you don't have kids. IMO, the uncle should be charged. Every time there is a school shooting its because some idiot left a gun around the house for the teens to get.

That State may soon try to educate their population and change the law. Look for one or more of the slain children's parents to start a crusade and we can't blame them. We hate most firearm laws but it goes to show that adults can be non complainant to common sense unless there are some guidelines with teeth.

Happy to see how many use gun safes for weapons and ammo on this forum;

No you didn't. I wrote exactly what I meant to say.

Furthermore, this is a forum about firearms so in the context of the overriding topic my comment was appropriate.

Okay, no offense intended . . .
