Nasty little round. No wonder the carnage was so great.

Next will come the cries to ban the 5.7 because “it” killed so many people. Cop killer bullets! Plastic guns!

I’m surprised that, given the MSM developing themes that he was harassed for being a muslim and this just reflects the stress being put on the military, no-one has suggested this is actually an inside job intended to provide political cover for getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan ...

Great pistol. I own the exact same model. Came/comes with three clips.

FOLKS

Unless he used the AP rounds, which are hard to get, the 5.7 is little more than a 22 magnum.

My understanding is that the cop who stopped him had a double through-and-through wond through both thighs. I wonder if this exotic caliber tended to overpenetrate, and not cause as much damage. If the killer had been shooting a 4 or 45 with ordinary hollow points, many of the 30 wounded might have been fatalities.

I don’t have info on it, but I’m dubious on this superpenetration theory of a significant number of casualties being hit only by bullets that had passed thorugh someone else first.

Unless it’s AP, and you’re wearing kevlar, this little poodle-shooter round is not nearly as “nasty” as it’s is being touted here.

Here’s a good source to buy the pistol mags and extensions. Good company:

I am conflicted on this. Part of me wants the medicoes to withhold all pain med. I want him in screaming, unimaginable pain. The other part of me wants to give him “Granny’s blue pill”. I’ve evaluated his worth and he does merit treatment. The death panel has spoken.

Just as the world marveled at the immediate forgiveness shown by the Amish people in the wake of the murder of their innocent children, I pray the families who have suffered so much will demonstrate that forgiveness - although I know it is so difficult.

Christ said:

But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 6:15

Proverbs 25: 21-22 says:

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

I hope we show the international Muslim community that we are better than they are - because America is built upon Judeo-Christian foundations. Those very foundations are holding on with only patch mortar and glue, but they are still there.

Can we imagine the riots, burnings, killings, torture, and mayhem that would have occurred in a Muslim nation if a Christian or Jewish man had murdered and maimed so many Muslim soldiers?

God (the real one) makes us better, because He is true.

May He comfort the families who lost loved ones, and heal the pain of the injured.

By the way, my prediction is that Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Diane Feinstein, and Chuckie Schumer will attempt turn the debate away from Muslim murderers in our midst, and towards gun control.

They call for a banning of this caliber, semiautomatic handguns, and more gun laws.

This gives them political cover, changes the subject, fills them with false righteous indignation, and allows them an excuse to grab even more unconstitutional power.

Mark my words.
