It's a typo. Show same number of cases and fatalities for FL and LA, I assume some wire got crossed

This map is misleading and is deliberately being used to blame black people in the south another map that factors in people having to travel because the store they go to is more than 8 Miles shows that the spread is in fact everywhere what this map fails to factor in is that most of that is rural country and most people have to travel more than 2 miles just to run errands

I know the south is hosed but it's not entirely their fault

it's the fault of the governors for not shutting poo poo down, plenty of rural states have locked down already.

The red states are going to be at a huge economic advantage after this right, bc they're heartless enough to just dismiss the corpse piles but a blue state would break down if you tried to speedrun

the red states have very few major hospitals and many of the smaller regional facilities have gone under in the last 10 years. I think the rural regions will be at least as badly affected, it'll just be a slower burn

There’s no such thing as discouraging trouble by pulling a gun out, from both a legal and practical perspective. If a gun is pulled it’s because someone’s death is imminent and a .22lr is inherently insufficient for that. To be really frank if you have have a different impression I can also only but doubt that you know how to shoot defensively as it’s way different from putting some holes in paper

A fair amount of ink has been spilt regarding the lethality of a .22lr. it has this whimsical ability to ricochet off bones rather then lodging in them or blowing them out. Often times a soft tissue entry in the body will plink around internally causing multiple organ damage rather than 1 really big hole. Either way, you tend to bleed out unless it's a headshot, in which case, under duress you probably "know how to shoot".
Additionally more deer in this country anyway have been felled with a 22 than any other cartridge when shooting was common and before people thought they needed giant sniper grade rifles to down a deer.

my anti-gun wife is suddenly warming up to the idea of buying a weapon. Definitely would get a rifle over a pistol for the lower chance of accident/suicide. Especially with our young kids in the house. Maybe a nice lil AR15 carbine

lol @ .22lr being "inherently insufficient" for death. go 2 palestine, noob

edit: (also turn into a palestinian child, then die, from an israeli 22lr shot from a loving ruger 10/22 lol)

An aggressor can also die from a bad fall but I wouldn’t recommend relying upon it for self defense

FAUXTON posted:

lol at the stopping power myth

That you think this is a stopping power argument is in itself proof that you’re out of your depth dude. .22lr is inherently much less reliable (much less power to cycle an action, rim fire inherently less reliable than center fire) which is the main concern. That being said terminal ballistics are an actual science and while . 22lr will absolutely kill someone if it hits a major organ it just plain doesn’t have the cavitation of a 9mm which has 3x or more the energy (edit: variations there for especially hot/soft loads but generally speaking), before even considering that reliable HP in .22lr is basically not a thing, etc.

This is also not a machismo thing at all; you should always be running away and de-escalating any conflict but a .22lr is drat near the tipping point where you’re arguably putting yourself in more danger by having one and having it give you false confidence.
