22LR is about a billion times better than a knife or nothing and if you don't believe that you're an idiot

its also the most abundant ammo and capable of hunting small game so unless your only goal is to murder people as efficiently as possible, its probably the best combination of utility and deterrent

Probably if it’s literally the only thing you have. People here are advocating choosing it willingly. I mentioned it being the tipping point between having nothing which is situationally kinda true but maybe hyperbolic on my part

yeah a Ruger 10/22 is probably the Correct choice for price/utility. AR15 is probably overkill if I'm being honest with myself

I have a couple thousands rounds of .22LR already, and I know how to shoot. It was inexpensive and at the very least will serve to discourage trouble if I need to pull it out.

The sources on worldometers seem off - saying 128 total - but I don't know if that's because of florida's fucky "resident/non-resident-who-lives-here" system

If things get so bad you need a gun to protect yourself, then why even live at that point? I don't get it and I never will. You're not going to be Inmortan Joe and life will be even worse than most apocalyptic movies.

eh im not surprised it didn't drop. mnuchin publicly said that 20% unemployment was possible and we're nowhere near than yet, so i think this is all the market going "yep every bad thing we expected to happen is happening so no reason to change", or put another way, this was all priced in with the drop over the last few weeks.

Additionally more deer in this country anyway have been felled with a 22 than any other cartridge

You're thinking .223 for deer hunting which is a centerfire round

I once read a Baltimore homicide detective's take on 9mm vs .22 years ago. He said that they had more murder cases from .22 handguns than 9mm because the 9mm would be more likely to penetrate the body, whereas the .22 shell would bounce around inside the body or head and cause a shitload of damage. I have a .22 myself for home defense as well as a shotgun.

Every leftist gun own covers it with the same dumbass Karl Marx quote from the 1850s and appeals to Mao or whoever but 90% of the time they're some white collar middle class dumbass and 100% of the time they're cosplayers not actually serious about shooting cops and certainly not serious about organizing an actual loving insurgency.

btw, the gun isn't to protect yourself, it is to use on yourself if things ever get to that point

The more expensive air rifles are lots of too. But with legal silencers so prevalent--plinking with .22s isn't so noisy.

Not humanely. It is going to take the ability/skill/luck to shoot the eye out of dime if you're going to kill most varmints with a air gun.

This applies to right wing gun owners as well, just replace "Karl Marx" with "the US constitution" and you're all set.
