I used to use the term “the point is to destroy what you are shooting” - but then spent some time shooting at steel targets! For my kids, did use some old fruit when they were first starting out - just to drive home how important it is to follow good safety rules.

The first time my young daughter ever fired a shotgun she followed all the rules. The instructor was very impressed with her keeping her finger off the trigger until ready to fire.

“Did your dad teach you that?”

“Yeah - with the BB gun. But he also points it out on TV every time the guy has his finger on the trigger!” (The second item I think annoyed her!)

Great! All of you should get professional training.

Look at the illustration. Which thing is not like the others?

Answer, the 7.62 x 39 cartridge is designed for the AK-47 assault rifle. ALL the other rounds, save for the small .22 LR cartridge(frequently used in handguns) are rounds designed for pistols.

ALL center fire rifle rounds pack more energy, and potentially more lethality than almost ANY pistol round designed for use in a handgun.

heh heh heh, but the evil 7.62x39 made the list

So I guess that means Vox is OK with my:
5.56 x 45 mm
7.62 x 51 mm
7.62 x 54R mm
.30-06
.30-30 Win
.45 Colt
.45 ACP
.454 Casull
.50 BMG

Whatever, Vox is still a bunch of idiots.

I wish to study the leathality of the various kitchen knives in my knife block, from the decoration and paring knives to the 10” boning knife and chef’s knife.

What?!!

No sixteen-inch two handed meat cleaver?!!

That is my kitchen weapon of choice!
With that I can part your hair down to your navel.

Oh, sorry that probably wouldn’t be in a knife block.

Carry on then.

"One way to reduce gun deaths"

Replace concealed carry with open carry. Then the bad guys could tell who to pick on without harm to themselves.
