Handguns ineffective against criminals with rifles

MSNBC Host: Handgun Bullets Are Ineffective In Stopping School Shooters Because They're Too Slow


Sen Dianne Feinstein (@SenFeinstein) | Twitter

"A handgun [wound] is simply a stabbing with a bullet. It goes in like a nail." With the high-velocity rounds of the AR-15, "it’s as if you shot somebody with a Coke can." ​

 

[Bananabandit]

I bet her bullets are fast enough for her own protection...but thats none of my business.

 

[MoMan]

These are the idiots who are "governing" us!!

 

[Phritz]

Ok, Diane, let's put it to a test.
Go stand over there...

Ha!

 

[tirwin1]

I struggle to understand this new line of thinking and how it is even remotely relevant. So the velocity of a bullet from an AR15 is faster than a pistol. What relevance does this have? Does anyone want to get shot by either one?

A jet goes 3x-4x faster than a car. Would these idiots prefer to get hit by a car?

As someone else wrote.....the stupid, it burns.

Ive never shot a person with my 10mm, but ill bet it leaves a mark.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Sounds like common core physics.

(These people really want to make laws to run my life?)

Screw that 10mm, you poser!

If you put a Ruger 10/22 in a pink plastic Tapco stock, you now have a Liberal Progressive-certified assault weapon that is heretofore to be called a "Weapon of War":

Guarantee if I stabbed her with a bullet it would leave a mark quite different compared to shooting the same bullet out of a pistol.

 

[Marine Cpl]

She's right though. A handgun wound is the size of the bullet itself. Handgun rounds are too slow to cause the stretch cavity to stretch beyond elasticity. In a rifle that goes over 2000 fps however, the temporary stretch cavity stretches past the point of elasticity were it becomes permanent.

Show the elderly bitch this. While not pretty, it was effective.

That must be the reason the sheriffs dept. also waited outside. Maybe Sheriff Israel knows something we dont and saved lives.

 

[@thewheels]

So her solution is to arm and train everyone in America with an AR 10? I think I like where she's going with this. Having visions of IDF walking around with their rifles slung over their shoulder.

Poof...And then I woke up.

 

[GOPerfect]

Well, we all know that she is just full of shit. The ignorance and hate are strong with her.

A rifle against a handgun.... Interesting. I say the winner is the guy who shoots the other guy first and/or more accurately. I could have a handgun against someone with a stick and could possibly lose.

Also depends on the ammunition. A hollow point does not make an exit wound that is the same size as the original bullet size.

So, does she, and others, think that the round shot from a handgun is useless?

 

[Grimscale]

She may be ignorant, she may be full of hate...

But she gets to spew her ignorance and hate all over the media with impunity. We have NO recourse to refute her ignorance, nor properly educate people on the grand scale she is permitted to use.

This is not representation. this is not democracy.
This is tyranny, plain and simple.

 

[livingston]

Someone once wrote
the .44 Magnum is the round to use if your home is invaded by Kodiak bears.

 

[Marine Cpl]

She clearly has never heard of the .45 ACP.

Most gun enthusiasts would choose a rifle over a handgun for defense any day of the week. We understand that rifles are more powerful and in free states have greater capacity. But that doesn't mean a handgun is ineffective for stopping a threat.

This is a terribly weak argument from the left.

I would think in tight quarters a handgun would be more maneuverable. Attack, advance, cover or variations thereof.

It all depends. I know for my house, my handgun is my home defense weapon of choice. I have tight hallways and it allows me better maneuverability and weapons retention.

Rifles, shotguns, handguns; they all have their place in the tool box.

Same with regular tools, sometimes one can use a flathead screwdriver on a phillips head screw. Not the best use of tools, but you use what you have.

This horrible, cancerous turd is not talking about that, she is proving her ignorance by talking about ammo only.

All ammunition can and does kill. Just because someone is shot with 5.56 does not mean they are going to die.

I detest this creature!

 

[C3D]

She doesn’t understand the hierarchy of calibers:

.22 < .380 < 9mm <.40 SW < .223 < .308 < .338 Lapua < .50 BMG < .45 ACP

 

[Steal2B]

We should be able to select the most effective tool to defend our families' lives regardless of the unpredictable senario. Sometimes the right choice would be a full capacity handgun, sometimes a shotgun, and Feinstein is making a strong case that sometimes it is an uncompromised full capacity adjustable well gripped accurate fast reloading potentially suppressed carbine.

 

[Phazer]

My favorite video to bring up during caliber wars and when people put down the 22LR.

22LR from rifle goes through 1/2" pine at 400 yards (at least in this video).


BTW - First, and only, person that I'd seen up close that was killed by a firearm (in a medical examiner's office) was killed with a 22LR at point-blank range.

This is part of the gun grabber talking points for demonization of AR's. AR-15's are military weapons that are too dangerous for civilians to own. The brave sheriff deputies were only armed with handguns, they couldn't do anything to stop the shooter. My reply (this conversation actually happened): that's bs, the deputy was a coward. He doesn't belong in law enforcement. Students died because he sat frozen in fear.

 

[Phauxtoe]

.22 < .380 < 9mm <.40 SW < .223 < .308 < .338 Lapua < .50 BMG < .45 ACP

LIES of Omission are still LIES!
that 45ACP must be fired by a 5" 1911 to achieve these results!

 

[Catskillkid]

How many school shooters are using frying pans as body armor? That's about as serious as the spittle that is coming out of Diane Feinstein's mouth.

For the record, even if school shooters adopted a frying pan as body armor apparel standard I still think the general issue 9mm handgun that the vast majority of police forces use can neutralize the killer regardless if he's using a .223 round or something else.

And just think, her California progressive democrat party is not supporting her for re-election the next time around, because she is not progressive enough.

Then why are handguns regulated at all. I should not need a permit for one.
