New report: Rifles less lethal than handguns in mass public shootings. Anti gunners cry.

[Rustic]

Lol assault rifles are able to shoot way more people and more people die but in the mad spray a lower percentage of the bullets kill lol good argument

Boy,
Ar15’s and the like are just sporting rifles

Gun Owners Don't Seem Eager to Comply With New Jersey's New Magazine Ban

Police officers, who can now charge people who own 15-round magazines with a felony, were outraged when it looked like they might receive equal treatment.

I think Law Enforcement should have to comply with ANY laws their government masters pass.

Looks like someone is pushing for a handgun ban

I guess you don't know, you can pretty much get as many bullets out with a hand gun. Verses a rifle, i'm not saying more but close.

More people die when hand guns are used.......and even then...the total number of people killed in mass public shootings in 2018? 77.

Total number killed in accidental car deaths.... 38,748

We need to ban cars......

Lawn mowers kill just as many people every year than mass public shooters do......as do ladders....

You should take a break from the internet and get some mental health care. Then turn in your guns, you’re a danger to normal people.

If your against guns, you are a danger to america.

 

[rightwinger]

Why don’t we just admit that out of 30,000 firearm deaths each year, 20,000 are by handguns

But we are not allowed to talk about that

Yeah my agreement that AR bullets kill at a lower rate was big time refuting. Check if you pissed yourself again, retard

It sure was, fool! You said:

More bullets fired...more people killed, you say. That's NOT what the Journal of the College of American of Surgeons found, idiot! "The research team found that events with a handgun were associated with a higher percentage of people killed, whereas events involving a rifle were associated with more people shot"

Lying now about what you clearly said won't make you look any smarter...retard!

The difference is actually easy to understand. When the Las Vegas shooter was spraying bullets at a crowd, he was firing at what the military call an Area Target. In other words, just firing as fast as he could into the crowd. A hit, any hit is what he was going for.

But pistols tend to be used much closer, and more time is spent aiming, and you end up with more vital organs hit. It is unlikely that you would die from being shot in the forearm, or the calf. You would be hurt certainly, but probably not die. The Las Vegas shooter had a killing rate of about 10%, which is about average for such things. The round the AR uses is preferred for a number of reasons, but especially because it creates a “militarily significant wound” that is to say that the individual shot is now wounded, and requires care. That means someone has to carry him off the field of battle, taking three or four people out of the fight, instead of just one.

One of the horrors the troops had to endure in the First World War was the sound of screaming men, wounded and crying out for help, for their Mothers, for anyone to please just help them. It wears on the nerves, and causes fear in the troops who endure it.

Now, if the bullet from the AR strikes the chest or head, then chances are you have a mortal wound. However, that is the same story for a pistol round, which is why people are taught to shoot center mass, because it increases the odds for a vital organ to be hit.

Spray and Pray technique does not have a high rate of vital hits, because the part you are shooting at is relatively small. The FBI used a picture of a Milk Bottle target for a long time, to show you how small the vital organs you were aiming at really were.

Now hits outside of the Bottle might kill you, but probably won’t. They’ll hurt, and cause some damage, but probably not death, providing you get medical treatment in a timely manner.

Using the Bump Stock further reduced the accuracy of the rifle in Las Vegas, it is hard to hit things with a fully automatic rifle, one that you want jumping in your hands is nearly impossible. To do so your target would have to be large, really large. Well his was. It was a large crowd, and he was firing into it randomly. He would have had a much higher kill ratio with a M1A rifle firing the 308 Winchester round using a scope. Every round would have been aimed, and chances are he would have topped three kills for four shots.

The rapid fire was intended to create a panic, and cause further injuries by a stampeding crowd.

Being hit by a pistol bullet inside the milk bottle, is much much worse than being hit by a rifle round outside of it. Statistics show that to be the case, and if you don’t like statistics, you can use common sense. We throw our hands up to defend ourselves when someone is punching us. Not because we want our hands hurt, but because we are willing to let them be hurt to protect our heads and torso’s. Common Sense and Survival Instinct.

Thank you....great post.

What most people don't seem to understand is most of the these mass shootings are done indoors in a confined and crowded area in those conditions a person can be as deadly with a handgun and couple of extra clips or a shotgun with some extra shells as they can with an AR-15 or any other semi automatic rifle. The only way a rifle is more deadly is you are shooting from a long distance like the UT tower shooter in the 1960s or the Las Vegas shooter and those type are rare.

According to the FBI there were 7,032 hand gun murders in 2015. Of those 70-80% were criminals murdered by criminals...of the rest, a large number are friends and family of the criminals caught up in that lifestyle.....

Meanwhile, the majority of the 1.1 million defensive gun uses are law abiding people using hand guns...

This shows that hand guns save more lives than they take.....

Firing into a tightly packed crowd of over 22,000 people who don't know they are under attack doesn't help either.....

If all rifle owners in America didn't follow the law? Leftists would already be dead. All. Of. Them
