Makes me wish I had majored in "Journalism" in college. I could have gotten really good grades.

I'm guessing this article will win a Pulitzer Prize for it's ground breaking journalism.  I'm not kidding.

[TrickyNicky]

That was even worse than I had thought it would be. What a piece of crap, I'm glad I haven't sullied a copy of RS for years.

[Raoul]

Boy that's a Pulitzer just waiting to be recognized.

[pitt2magic]

Something I purchased a couple of years ago came with a free 1 year subscription to RS.  Having never really read the magazine I was wrongfully thinking that it was a music publication not a rag piece for the Liberal agenda.  I was happy to see my subscription end until I started getting the "This is your last issue"  issue every month.  My subscription ended over a year ago but  I still get that trash delivered to my house weekly.  Needless to say, it goes straight in the trash.  I could call them and try to get it stopped but it gives me a little satisfaction knowing that it cost them to pint and mail it to me every week just so I can trash it.

Yep. Just write a five page article on a subject about which you know absolutely nothing and voila, you're a journalist.

Wow. I had no idea that pistols and revolvers were the 2 most dangerous kinds of handguns and that rifles and shotguns were the most dangerous long guns.

 

I thought most crimes were commited with muskets and blunderbusses. I'm glad I checked out that informative article.

 

 

 

 

 

In other news, the 2 most dangerous knives are 1) those with blades under 4" and 2) those with blades at or beyond 4". It's astonishing stuff!

Reading this drivel will lower your IQ 60 points........

.......then you will be qualified to join the lamestream media also!

I like the comment just recently posted by "Steve Gee".  

 

My list of 5 most dangerous guns:
5. Guns with barrels.
4. Guns with bullets.
3. Guns that someone uses to hit you on the head.
2. Guns on a steroid pumped body builder.
...and the number one most dangerous gun:
1. A gun in the hands of a criminal.

They didn't say if the revolver was single or double action. :squint:

 

Correction they did. Surprised they knew the difference.

They didn't. Someone else said it and they just printed it.

 

What they fail to realize is that the single-action is the one you have to worrry about. That's the one for going all Clint Eastwood and just slapping the hammer for rapid fire shots, you know, as gang-bangers are known to do.

The 5 most dangerous liberals: 1) self righteous liberal 2) all knowing liberal 3) demogogue liberal 4) moralizing liberal 5) "you're a racist" liberal

[Jonnin]

that thing was written by what, a 4th grader?   No, wait, that tv show proved that the 4th grader would do a better job.   Derringers are pistols?  Revolvers are also pistols, in common usage.  And derringers are undefined --- its either antiques made by mr derringer, or it means "pocket pistol" which is, drum roll, a pistol.  So the most dangerous guns are pistols, pistols, pistols, pistols, pistols, and pistols, followed by shotguns and rifles?  Rocket science there....  who woulda guessed that a 3 foot long low capacity shotgun is not as often used in drive-bys, gangsta action, stick-em-ups, and other crime?   And if the idiots doing these violent but generally low-paying, high risk crimes could afford an AR, they would not be doing this type of crime...

Popular among handgun-owners, pistols are defined by their built-in barrel and short stock.

 

 

I had to re-read the very fist sentence several times before I realized that I did not read it incorrectly.

 

I had low expectations, but this "article" broke all expectations and was unbelievable.

[hipower]

I laughed. I cried.

 

I laughed at the lack of knowledge and ability on the part of the writer.

 

I cry at the thoughts that this rag is considered worthy of being called journalism.

 

I cry more that so many will read this and take it as reality and fact.

[Steelharp]

Ah, the Writing Stoned. What a piece of  :poop: .

[Ted S.]

This is what happens when you get your facts from a government organization.

[BigK]

this explains a lot...according to TheNation.com good ol' Kristen usually writes about a different subject...weed

From the Shotgun page:

 

Additionally, the explosive that creates the energy to fire the gun occurs in the fixed shell of a shotgun rather than the metallic cartridge of a rifle.

 

What difference does plastic vs. metal make in either lethality or ilegal gun violence?

 

And WTH did they do to the barrel of that AR-15?
