I think the drop in energy comes during the 4 to 6 week period it takes for the body to become fully fat adapted (which is the body's preferred metabolic state).

Unless you're a great shot and calm enough to put one in someones eye I wouldn't want to rely on a 22 for self defence.
On a funny note a mate of mine copped a 22 ricochet to the shoulder while small game...
The Department of Justices own figures find that Americans use firearms defensively around 1.5 million times a year. Compare that to the 11,000/12,000 gun homicides per year. Which itself has been dropping for nearly 20 years.
Never said illegal firearms.

In most states you can use whatever force you deem necessary to protect your self, your family and your property.
Home invasions are a lot more common then you would imagine...
The gun homicide rate has been in a steep downward trend in relation to other methods of homicide since a decade before the start of gun control.
Lisa, I want to buy your rock.
You're not suggesting that mass murder is the only thing that matters? We removed a million guns from our streets and the homicide rate stayed steady and even increased for a time. And now those million guns have been replaced, homicide is at an near all time low. Now I'm not going to suggest...
1. It's the percentage of all homicides.
2. Well you said shooting.
3. No prob.
4. The UK has a long history of having the strictest gun laws in the world and Germany has had the strictest in central Europe since the 70's.
1.The graph was linked in an earlier post. Most states instituted weapons prohibition acts from around 96 - 00
2. He shot 7. 2 died.
3. You should probably read up on them.
4. So why hasn't gun control stopped massacres in other countries (of which I've given multiple examples)? And most of...
1. And that's going well.
2. So Monash was a massacre then?
3. What is the Fabian Society.
4. Except in countries where it hasn't. See Germany, UK... And a country like New Zealand hasn't had a multiple victim public shooting since 1990 without bringing in draconian gun laws or forcing buy backs.
1. And more people have died from edged weapons than nukes. Why not ban all knives?
2. Depends on how you define massacre. I guess the Monash shooting doesn't make the cut. And multiple victim murder suicides in this country seem to be steady, averaging around 5 per year.
3. The 'wealthy class'...
Home defence isn't a Hollywood shootout. Even with an AR 15 there is no guarantee you'd be able to take on 10 assailants or 3. It gives you a better chance though.
Anyone can get a gun of the deep web. Being a hardened criminal is not a prerequisite.
lol at likening a semi auto glock to a...
Except those which are banned.
It stops them from legally obtaining those guns. Anyone can get 'high powered semi automatic weapons' if they really want them. I doubt anyone willing to murder a bunch of people is going to take their ball and go home because it's illegal to purchase a certain...
I made a post about why gun control doesn't work in a thread of that title. You're the only person itt to mention semi autos (once, in passing, and not to me) before my post, in which I didn't even differentiate between firearm types... You are just a babbling brook of logical fallacies.
A few regular dudes find out how easy it is to pick up when you have a Ferrari... Highlights include a chick that leaves her boyfriend on the side of the road and one at the end that loses her shit when she finds out it's a prank.
What happened to just fallin' in love with a n***a with a bus pass?
The problem with gun control is that it only takes guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens. It's like lowering the speed limit of a road from 60 to 50 because hoons have been repeatedly clocked doing 160+. Someone willing to go 100 km/h over the limit isn't really going to care that...
