Its a bit better at inducing Hydrostatic shock just because of its velocity:energy ratio. The handgun just to get me to the bigger guns :D -Nick Olsen ---------------------------------------- From: "Andrew Kirch" <trelane () trelane net> Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 11:42 AM To: nanog () nanog org Subject: [SPAM-Low] Re: (OT) Firearms Was: UN declares Internet access a "human right" nothing like 40 short and wimpy!

to
have it and not need it, Then need it and not have it." By banning guns from a community, Your only taking them out of the
hands of
law abiding citizens. Not like most criminals get guns via legal
channels
in the first place. -Nick Olsen ---------------------------------------- From: "Daniel Seagraves" <dseagrav () humancapitaldev com> Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 10:34 AM To: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: (OT) Firearms Was: UN declares Internet access a "human right" On Jun 6, 2011, at 8:41 AM, Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu wrote:Nice try, but the human right you just made a case for is "the right

has
access to firearms, then I should have that option as well. I should
not be
forced into a disadvantage against criminals by virtue of my
compliance
with the law. Once law enforcement is effective enough to prevent the average criminal from having access to firearms, then the law-abiding population can be compelled to disarm. This stance can result in an escalation scenario in which criminals strive to remain better-armed
than
their intended victims, but the job of law enforcement is to prevent
them
from being successful. At present, the average criminal in my area does not have firearms,
and so
I do not own one. Gun crime is on the increase, however, so this
situation
may change.
