MSNBC: Handguns Are Too Slow To Stop A School Shooter

MSNBC anchors are claiming that teachers armed with handguns would be unable to stop a school shooter because rifles shoot “three times faster.”

Anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said on his show Thursday night that “a bullet fired from an AR-15 travels 3x faster than one from a handgun…and yet the president and the NRA think giving teachers guns will stop a school shooter.”
Stephanie Ruhle similarly asked, “How does the best marksman in the world with a handgun take down a shooter with an AR-15 (bullets travel 3x faster).”

WHAT? MSNBC Anchors Believe Handgun Bullets Are Too Slow To Stop A Shooter With A Rifle

Lol, as if you can outrun any bullet...... these people are insanely ignorant.

They spew this nonsense to scare the sheep and brainwash them into being afraid of guns.

Its a shame that the world is full of truly dumb people.

Slow ass handgun bullets. Too easy to dodge.

And why is it police use hand guns then?

 

[NY Leatherneck]

So wait....if a bump fire stock shoots 400 times faster than a normal AR15 then that makes it 1200 times faster than a handgun bullet......Common Core DOES work!!!

Give Larry a rifle and I will take my bull’s-eye pistol and I will illustrate the STUPIDITY for him !

 

[Marine Cpl]

They are incorrect. An AR 15 bullet goes 4 times as fast as a .45 ACP.

 

[96coal449]

Then give the teachers rifles.

Wrong. You have to divide by how many bullets are in the clip. And you get 500 bonus points for a thingy that goes up.

 

[96coal449]

What if your AR has a belt fed upper?

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Ok fair enough...

Then to be fair since speed seems to be the only thing they care about let's let teachers get issued some of these

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

A rifle bullet leaves Buffalo at 2:15 traveling east at 1250 feet per second. A pistol bullet leaves Syracuse at 1:49 traveling west at 4355 feet per second. If both bullets entered the grey matter of a liberal Dem Commie Hillary supporter, what time would anyone really give a fuck?

That is on my gun bucket list.

 

[Acer-m14]

for no one said what gun teachers would have on them or in there desk ..

claymore's at the door would work too ..

 

[GOPerfect]

I know that many are finding bad humor in some of these stories; but guess what? Americans are eating this Fake news up; hook, line and sinker.

This is not something we should ignore and toss up to bad reporting.

Serious trouble is upon us all!

 

[Uninformed and Compliant]

You are all. doing. it. wrong.

The reason the speed matters is because the fastest shot wins.

If you and I shoot at each other at the same time, if your bullet hits me first? MY bullet no longer counts.

That's why the speed difference is such a big deal, and why arming the teachers is a waste of time.

Even if the teacher manages to get a shot off first, the attacker has plenty of time wait before shooting back, and his bullets still hit the teacher first, cancelling the teacher's bullet.

True Story.

Ohhhh.....chew on this thought....if the rifle bullet happens to be shot from an AR15. ..being the AR15 is the most lethal type of gun that ever existed, wouldn't the pistol bullet just turn around and go back into the pistol?

As usual MSNBC gets it wrong .... This is the article that they got everything mixed up with

What I Saw Treating the Victims From Parkland Should Change the Debate on Guns
They weren’t the first victims of a mass shooting the Florida radiologist had seen—but their wounds were radically different.
As I opened the CT scan last week to read the next case, I was baffled. The history simply read “gunshot wound.” I have been a radiologist in one of the busiest trauma centers in the nation for 13 years, and have diagnosed thousands of handgun injuries to the brain, lung, liver, spleen, bowel, and other vital organs. I thought that I knew all that I needed to know about gunshot wounds, but the specific pattern of injury on my computer screen was one that I had seen only once before.I was looking at a CT scan of one of the victims of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, who had been brought to the trauma center during my call shift. The organ looked like an overripe melon smashed by a sledgehammer, with extensive bleeding. How could a gunshot wound have caused this much damage?


In a typical handgun injury that I diagnose almost daily, a bullet leaves a laceration through an organ like the liver. To a radiologist, it appears as a linear, thin, grey bullet track through the organ. There may be bleeding and some bullet fragments.

Routine handgun injuries leave entry and exit wounds and linear tracks through the victim's body that are roughly the size of the bullet. If the bullet does not directly hit something crucial like the heart or the aorta, and they do not bleed to death before being transported to our care at a trauma center, chances are, we can save the victim. The bullets fired by an AR-15 are different; they travel at higher velocity and are far more lethal. The damage they cause is a function of the energy they impart as they pass through the body. A typical AR-15 bullet leaves the barrel traveling almost three times faster than, and imparting more than three times the energy of, a typical 9mm bullet from a handgun. An AR-15 rifle outfitted with a magazine with 50 rounds allows many more lethal bullets to be delivered quickly without reloading.


I have seen a handful of AR-15 injuries in my career. I saw one from a man shot in the back by a SWAT team years ago. The injury along the path of the bullet from an AR-15 is vastly different from a low-velocity handgun injury. The bullet from an AR-15 passes through the body like a cigarette boat travelling at maximum speed through a tiny canal. The tissue next to the bullet is elastic—moving away from the bullet like waves of water displaced by the boat—and then returns and settles back. This process is called cavitation; it leaves the displaced tissue damaged or killed. The high-velocity bullet causes a swath of tissue damage that extends several inches from its path. It does not have to actually hit an artery to damage it and cause catastrophic bleeding. Exit wounds can be the size of an orange.

With an AR-15, the shooter does not have to be particularly accurate. The victim does not have to be unlucky. If a victim takes a direct hit to the liver from an AR-15, the damage is far graver than that of a simple handgun shot injury. Handgun injuries to the liver are generally survivable unless the bullet hits the main blood supply to the liver. An AR-15 bullet wound to the middle of the liver would cause so much bleeding that the patient would likely never make it to a trauma center to receive our care.
