The_Donald has been beyond parody since inception because it initially started as making fun of Trump fans and was quickly taken over by Trump fans.

Looking for a .22 pistol

quote:

To: Chainmail
All of the "experts" will babble on about only larger calibers for social application, but what caliber do the Mafia hit men use?
The mafia hit men press the 22 to the back of the neck/head when the victim has their hands secured behind their back.

If you call this a reason to carry a 22 for self protection, I question your logic and reasoning skills.

And what the hell is "social application"?

What do you carry?

I'd never carry anything less than a 38 and a 357 Magnum is always in my vehicle within the easy reach of the console.

I never have my vehicle guns under the seat or in the glove box where it is too difficult to have quick access.

If you can't get at it quickly, it may be too late for you to even respond to a "social application".

FBI files had a show on an FBI investigation of the mafia. They recruited an informant who the mafia had recruited because he was such a tough guy. The informant got called in and the mobsters told him he was going to be a bookkeeper, and they had to teach him the process of how betting worked. When he turned around, they put two rounds in the back of his head, with a 380 as I recall, but the ammo must have been old, or he had a really hard head, and the informant turned around to face them, and the mobsters backed up slowly to the door and got out of there.

Article on the mobster here.

https://mafia.wikia.org/wiki/John_Veasey

Not sure how a 380 to the skull bounces off, but the FBI agent said when he heard he went right to the hospital, and mob informant was up and talking about it.

That's as believable as the fbi file on Trump's golden showers tape, must have been the same agent.

When the hit men shoot, they put the muzzle at the base of the skull and the top of the spine, there is no hard headed skull for the round to "bounce off", just the separation of skull and spine.

Even if they shot him twice in the skull, from point blank range, a 22 short would have killed him {at the very least, knocked him out cold}.

If the fbi is telling this story, consider all of the other bullshit that they have told us.

But Hannity will tell you that 99.9% of all fbi agents are saints. MEH!

Or you fall just wrong from what should be a survivable distance and end up paralyzed or dead. Humans are both incredibly resilient and fragile. My google skills are failing me but there’s an article, I think in relation to blade violence depiction in media, that reviews dueling records and hospital records. One duelist lost fingers gripping his opponent’s sword, stabbed repeatedly, lost an eye somewhere in there, was ran through, and still finished his opponent off. Modern example was a guy getting stabbed in the heart, stabbed guy finds a bottle in an alleyway, pursues his attacker for five blocks, and attacks him. Granted, both the duelist and stabbee end up dying so maybe not exactly on topic, but it was an interesting read if anyone knows what I’m rambling about.

The reason to not carry a .22 for self-defense is that you are vastly more likely to shoot yourself in the dick, convince an armed robber to shoot you, or get shot by the cops than solve anything by whipping it out.

The potential for shooting yourself in the dick is part of the appeal, I think, as they seem like the types to only feel anything when they might cause themselves irreparable harm but somehow manage not to.

Ballistics is weird and there are a number of different stories about people who've been shot in the head with low-caliber bullets and had the bullet bounce off. Usually it happens when a bullet nails someone right on the curve at the top of your forehead where the bone is hard as gently caress. Amazing that someone could take a pair of .380 slugs to the back and survive, but I could believe it.

I guess all the footage is just fake? And all other cops are good, but it just so happens that the capitol police are in thrall to the demoncrats?

There was, at one point, a Capitol Police officer on SA. He said it was boring or really, really stupid depending on the day. Underpaid, understaffed, and mostly forgotten.

One thing I remember was he said any time they dealt with the Secret Service, they would always try to headhunt (this was during the Obama presidency, btw). "WTF. You know my job sucks, and you want to offer me something worse, nah." Another thing I remember him saying is that they'd have to chase other departments out of their very small territory on the regular.

The Beer Hall Putsch was also an incompetent farce.

The one thing we've got up on the Weimar Republic is that our institutions are fairly solid and the military is thoroughly uninterested in messing with electoral politics because their trough is slopped with filet mignon on the regular. Also the die hard base of the fash is, electorally speaking, loving ancient. Something like 60% of fash are 50+ or someshit and it has almost no purchase among the youth.
