Questions outnumber answers. I have a question about the photo released of the gun supposedly dropped by the Charlotte victim; a semi-auto pistol with the hammer still back on a gun that was “dropped”?
The other simple real fact is; more guns equal more shootings. When I was in high school, gang violence was sticks and chains for weapons, then all the guns started showing up as the NRA fought to keep us “safe”, that’s citizens AND police.
Which back to that semi-auto, how much did police shooting people increase when departments all switched from revolvers to semi-auto, high capacity magazines, which encourage the discharge of more rounds, as aim became less vital. As Paladin pointed out a long time ago on TV, it ain’t how fast you shoot, but how accurately you shoot.
It also amazes me on the TV shows that “cops” who can shoot a 2 inch pattern on the range, get out in the field, and empty three or four magazines and never hit the bad guy, and of course, the bad guys with fully automatic weapons and banana clips, hiding behind cover, can’t hit the “good guys” standing out in the open!
