Mossad are famous for using .22s.
Cho would have been deadly with the .22. Psychotics would be more deadly with a .22 than so-called normal people.
A .22 wound can be very problematic. The bullet tends to bounce around...off organs, bones and other tissue.
Do you know how many were in his class?
Now THAT's gun control.
Same thoughts I had after the DC Snipers were finally caught.
I'm still betting the jihadis have logged this in their journal of terrorism and are preparing something where multiple schools are hit at once.
Cho did not have automatic weapons. He had two semi-automatic pistols.
I’ve tested all sorts of rounds and calibers and if you are the type, and know where to aim, a .22 is an excellent shooter and carry gun.
Less recoil lets you place the rounds closer together and the lightweight gun makes it easier to aim.
The .22 is slow enough to do much more damage than the faster .25s and .32s, almost the same way that a 9 is too fast to do much damage (to what you’re aiming at, anyway).
I want people to carry guns. That's why I rarely recommend large calibers. The worst thing for someone to buy a 1911-A in the summer for their first gun and find out they can't carry it. It's too heavy to carry that long and it unbalances you. It's good for home defense, but now that they're broke from buying the big name gun, they have to scrape it up and look for a more practical one.

That was my point........

Received and blown up.
Alrighty then..............
Okay, I'll buy that. So...enlighten us. How did they fight back and how did you find out? Or is this campus...urban legend?
Q horse?
“Maybe because he had automatic weapons”
Really? Maybe you should tell the campus police about this startling new bit of evidence.
No. I assume the info is available online.
Believe what you want to believe.
Then on this thread I've learned that three died in Professor Librescu's class. That makes eighteen. I haven't heard much about the first classroom he entered but there must have been many there and understandably since they were probably totally off guard. But if there weren't 12 dead in that class,then others must have tried unsuccessfully to disarm him in the hallway.
Just yesterday they said the entire massacre took place in just 9 minutes. When you think that several students saw him peek into their room and he went back to one room at least,twice, one should be able to understand why so few were able to take any action.
I find myself appalled at the number of Freepers who are commenting with vitriolic negativity about any of the persons who were targeted,whether they were killed,injured or escaped physically unscathed. The ease with which people are rendering opinions without any knowledge of the facts does not auger well for this country since I have heard and actually thought that people on this board were blessed with at least average intelligence. If the threads on this subject are reflective the state of mind of most average or above average Americans,we need to worry a lot and pray without ceasing.
‘soft targets’ sure are affective, and there’s nothing softer than schools. Although, nuclear attacks on cities is more effective, which they are certainly working towards as well.
Small town Oklahoma, this weekend....drunk walks into a dance in the old gymnasium, with gun and starts pointing and threatening to shoot...he was rushed and taken down....only wound was on the local deputy that was treated for injury to the webbing on his hand where the hammer(revolver) came down...unsorting the 6 man pile took a few minutes.....true story and no mention of it anywhere...just "local business"...
