Co. scchool shooting

[ROGER4314]

I read that the shooter was upset because the targeted teacher tossed him off of the debate team. So, once again, we have a nutso young person acting out on insults real or imagined, combined with gun free school zone and apparently very loose security at the school. How in hell can a guy carrying a shotgun even enter a school unchallenged?

Judging from his reaction I would venture he wasn't really very effective at debating.

Easy. Liberal mentality of huddle in a corner and the bad man will go away.

Not many unarmed people are willing to challenge someone wielding a shotgun.

LOL!

I would but not from less than 50 yards. Without heavy cover. Why AR's are a wonderful weapon... You can effectively do that with an AR.

Caught part of a report about this on CNN earlier tonight. The chick that got shot is still alive (critical condition) after being shot in the head "at point-blank". That has me wondering if the bastard was using birdshot.

Surprisingly, the CNN report I caught actually seemed to focus more on mental health than this kid (who was actually 18) having a long gun and ammo. They explicitly said at least twice that he purchased both the gun and ammo legally, then never brought it up again.

Even at point blank, you'd have the effect of a slug (wall of lead) ... that's if you go literal point blank. Few feet away, at least, then that's a different story.

I assumed they meant point-blank as in really damn close. Caught a snippet on Fox about half an hour ago that said he was about ten feet away when he shot her.

I'm sure ... you know that pesky little thing called details ...

 

[Blind Sniper]

Yeah, the one thing that NO ONE can ever really agree on in cases like this.

Would people stop blindly parroting that bullshit? It's completely 100% untrue.

 

[Blind Sniper]

Yeah, I wasn't gonna say anything about that... But really, the fact that the girl who got shot survived is just amazing, regardless of what load the dumbshit was firing. Either she got really lucky, or someone upstairs was watching out for her.

You're saying that all the lead coming out of the barrel at a single spot, point blank, would not have slug like effects? Then explain how the theory of cutshells doesn't work?

As soon as shot hits flesh, it spreads. The smaller the shot, the faster it spreads. Shot will never, can never, act like a slug no matter how close the range its fired from.

Cut shells are dangerous. Idiotically dangerous. Besides the radically increased potential to damage your gun (and you), all a cut shell can/will do is get the shot to the target without it spreading at all. Once it hits the target, it won't do the same thing a slug will.

 

[Blind Sniper]

For the first couple inches it might. Even at point-blank, though, birdshot has pretty much jack shit for penetration, especially if there's bone that it has to punch through.
