Family members of Uvalde school shooting victims also said they're filing lawsuits against dozens of Texas Department of Public Safety officers and Uvalde's school district.
Specifically AR15 and how this particular gun tears through walls.
The penetrative effects of a bullet traveling at 300% the speed of regular pistol rounds is far deadlier and damaging than just a pistol. And you have all these dumbasses who are like “Yeah but pistols are still deadly”.
Remember that energy is velocity squared. We’re talking about like 900% of the energy per shot. The amount of firepower we’re just casually accepting as “normal” in the USA is ridiculous, and is the real tragedy of the Uvalde situation. And everyone who is using this moment to blame the cop when they should 100% be blaming the gun-culture of AR15 is part of the problem.
We already have examples of what happens when gunowners take matters into their own hands. And that person’s name is Kyle Rittenhouse. I have very little respect for that mindset.
You make really good points. I hadn’t thought about this situation in this light until you brought it up. It is very alarming how difficult it is for people to understand that situations can be nuanced. It’s like they just want everything to be black and white and simple, and they just want to be completely on the side of whatever they detect the majority is thinking. In this case, it really makes a difference as to what policies should be focused on.
