I thought it was a Glock 9mm & Glock .40, but, regardless.
It seems the guy did the research on the _first_ firearms anyone should buy, and those are the makes/models/calibers you’d see recommended for such a person.
Yeah, but then he went and blew it by buying a jam-o-matic drum with a bad rep. Well, that and such a minor thing as hosing down an occupied theatre, attempting to blow up an apartment building, etc., etc.
I’d also point out how glad I am that he didn’t decide to go get a 7.62 NATO battle rifle or there would have been a lot more dead people in that theatre. At that range, 7.62 could have penetrated several people before losing significant energy.
Here’s a good ‘field’ comparison of the energy differences between the 5.56, 6.8 and 7.62.
