The Truth About Guns

Much is made of the .50-caliber bullet’s ability to stop a vehicle when fired into a car’s engine block. That depends, of course, on hitting the engine block. Unlike the video above, most engine blocks are situated inside automobiles. Which are known for their ability to move fairly quickly. Not to mention the fact that cars/trucks generate a great deal of momentum. If the targeted a vehicle contains an explosive device, you have to shoot the engine block and be far enough way not to die when the bomb wagon goes boom. Better to just shoot the driver and run. Take cover. Whatever.

Even if you accept their massaged, contextless data, I remind you that Americans’ natural, civil and Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms is subject neither to arguments about social utility nor the democratic process. In theory. In practice, how are the gun laws where you live? What’s the worst gun control restriction under which you labor?
