“ What a joke.”
.... until you get shot with one, then it’s not so funny.
I just came out of sugery will be months in recovery..told to not lift anything over 10 lbs...I can manage a .22 revolver
Don’t shoot me in
The Foot, Bro!
The joke is that they are comparing statistics in a meaningless way. By that logic, a starter’s pistol should be on their list because it makes a loud noise that can scare someone, and the speed of sound is over 700 fps. If you want to believe that crap, enjoy yourself.
When I worked in the meat business, and worked for local slaughter houses, they shot the beeves in the head with a 22mag. Worked every time.
More people used to be killed by .22s than any other cartridge. That is why the so-called “Saturday Night Special” was so demonized back in 1968.
CEDARTOWN GEORGIA by Waylon Jennings
I got a gal in Cedartown, Georgia
I used to have to walk nearly three miles to court her
She never had much, just a sharecropper’s daughter
But I married her and took her down to New Orleans
She got a little house in the South French Quarter
***
Walkin’ into work this mornin’ at daybreak
I caught her with the tall long dandy from Canebrake
She walked right by me and she looked right through me
I made up my mind what I’m a gonna do
Eased in the pawnshop and bought a 22
I watched as the room clerk gave them a room key
A standin’ right outside I could read Room 23
Tonight I’ll put her on a train for Georgia
Gonna be a lotta kin folks squallin’ and a grieving
‘Cause that Cedartown gal ain’t breathing
