Hurons,Mic Maks and Mohawks?????????
What are they doing up there????????
Man some natives don't know how to stay put.
Beav and Butthead think Bonjovi is a wuss.
Ain't no buckshot in that Xray. Birdshot, number 6 or so. Buckshot is almost .36 caliber and would never enter the appendiceal orifice. And if you hunt birds with buckshot you are going to be very, very hungry. Only nine pellets of 00 buck in a 12 ga. shell. And if you can chew, however few teeth you have, a piece of bird meat with a .36" chunk of lead inside without noticing, you must be drunk.
It's the NYT. They don't know, nor do they care to know, much about guns. Besides, antigunners love to use the most ominous, macho term they can find when discussing guns. That's why all rifles are high-powered or assault, all handguns automatic, and why they would never say birdshot when they could say buckshot.
I would believe "birdshot", but not "buckshot".
Cool map, Huron, but I noticed there were no Mohicans. Have we seen the Last of the Mohicans?
My guess is, reporter and doctor are using "buckshot" as a general term for "shotgun pellet" - not realizing buckshot is a fairly specific term.
LOL, that was my first thought when I read "buckshot" - how the #$%& could you chew and swallow without noticing a chunk of lead the size of a ball bearing?
