Mrnoniee Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 being from Pakistan (we have had a similar shooting with 12x the deaths) my heart is crying. I literally shed a tear when I saw the children faces. I have a sister who's the same age as those children (she's 12) and I would literally take all the bullets for her and not let her have a scratch. I wonder what the parents must be going through. may God have mercy on the families and they find solace
Raver Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 I really don’t expect Biden or congress to do anything. It’ll be very difficult and half the senate have already shown where they stand on gun control. What I do expect is for something to be done against the Uvalde Police Department. They really ****** up. Most should be fired especially that Police chief, Pedro Arredondo who ordered everyone to stand by. Mf has police patrolling his home which he hasn’t left since the day of the shooting. Some of those kids bled to death. Just makes you think if they had actually done something… the death toll would be less

Joe Biden sounds like an idiot, but what is the context here? The Uvalde shooter used some variation of a AR-15 which is .223/5.56mm. The calibre is not much higher than the .22 Joe was talking about, but the AR-15 .223 round is fired at a much higher velocity than a typical .22 (pistol or rifle). The danger from .223/5.56mm rounds fired from a weapon like the AR-15 is the combination of a high velocity round carrying a lot of energy, plus high rate of fire means you can kill a large number of people in a short space of time. The calibre isn't quite as important as some people might think. Historically, the AR-15/M-16 replaced higher calibre weapons. The Russian military largely replaced their AK-47 (7.62mm cartridge) with the AK-74 (5.45mm cartridge), so they didn't need high calibre either. Edit: The 9mm comment might have been more relevant to pistols perhaps?
Vermillion Posted May 31, 2022 Author Posted May 31, 2022 @Letemtalk The majority of the pushback I guess is on whether people literally bought and sold cannons around the time the 2nd amendment was written. You're right about the calibres though. There's a lot of articles on this topic that don't necessarily translate to the pull quote format of Twitter I was looking for further video clips from.

Whosthatboy93 Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 At this point in humanity, "thoughts and prayers" are not enough (or the only thing to do), people need to take action, but we know it hardly happen , cant believe guns (or the money/pride) that comes with it is more valuable that life. After this, here in the Valley there were some threats from some stupid kids wanting to do shootings, ugh, people is mad, its scary, souless people. RIP all the beautiful souls.
