Police need to go back to revolvers for service weapons

[Magoo]

[QUOTE="highspeeds, post: 1068493, member: 30641" man on the ground with another " officer " on top of him and gets shot dead. The weapon didn't make that decision. It's the people and the training that are flawed. Where is the justification for lethal force ? He had a gun ? It is our RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS ! Owning and possessing and carrying a weapon and concealing it with a permit are NOT CRIMES ![/QUOTE]


It's my belief that a slower gun one which at least the second shot requires enough force and time to spin the barrel and cock the hammer will give them time to register that they already put a disabling bullet into the citizen who they plan to arrest..
It may not sound like much but I think it would make the difference.
And the training to keep shooting is flawed.

Most cops used .38s and .357s in the revolver days. Big, awkward, recoil monsters were not realistic. Back then they also had many " New York reloads ", which is another gun. Police would rather carry several loaded pistols than attempt to reload a revolver under fire. You aren't going to change anything changing equipment. Really the weapon itself isn't the problem. Let's not forget, guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Dirty Harry had a 44 mag because the round doesn't just ricochet off windshields. My sister has one it's never been fired. I'd be afraid to fire it cause I'd fall down or something.

Harry would never be caught using two hands to shoot.
38's were a favorite for a long time.

I must say- Mags is consistent. Who what why don't matter. Just push gun bans in most threads.

mmy you should watch those video's
really bad

The gun is to often used when other weapons could be the logical choice.
How many shots fired at the man in the drivers seat?
How many shots fired into the mans chest on the ground?
Get rid of these semi-autos as a first step

And you are an authority why ?

 

[Driver71]

When ordered to provide license and registration you shouldn't be shot dead for complying.

BS let's see how it plays out.

I haven't. If one bullet hits, it can kill. Has zero to do with banning weapons. Let's let an investigation figure out who what why when where and how. Revolver, semi auto, or even full autos kill. That's what a gun is supposed to do. No need calling for for a ban in this thread.

44 magnum.

44 magnum.

My neighbor has a S&W 500

Not an authority I just watch the films how it goes down.
If you can watch these and think nothing of it then somethings wrong.

Heavy gun like that will make you last in the donut run.

If all that's true there isn't one.

Really and break your hip if you run.

I think it's too easy to keep pulling the trigger when your all hopped up. Just shaking your hand in a defensive move may cause the finger to operate the trigger.
You ought to watch, you all need to watch how these guys stuck a gun in the mans chest and kept pulling the trigger.
Nothing but excuses here for really bad behavior.

I hate to tell you but you can do the same thing with a revolver. As fast as you pull the trigger it will fire unless you're using an old Western single action.

Tell that to the POS thugs that shot two Police Officers in Dallas tonight‼️

Mags doesn't want to hear that, he's on a mission to ban 'weapons of war'.

He always says i cant own a bazooka. I've got news for him. My 12 Guage can fire a hollow point rifled slug. A 70 caliber round. I can pump out a lot of them..... Dead is dead, no matter what causes it.

 

[troubleman84]

For everyone out there, when someone in authorty tells you to show your hands, don't reach for anything.

You need to watch the video footage.

Turns out,its more than that.Thugs ambushed the officers.Most of America see the shootings in Baton Rouge and Minny as an injustice.Slaughtering officers in an ambush will bring less sympathy to their cause.Total disgrace.
