"You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small"

We've seen this several times over the past couple of weeks. As jokes go, it isn't bad, but plays to stereotypes that aren't even close. I especially object to the portrayal of Southerners. Anybody who would unload 2 clips into an attacker shows a great deal of inexperience handling firearms. You take a couple of shots and then see if he goes down. If he doesn't try again. Just blindly firing away is going to get more people killed than the attacker. Anybody who can get a tight grouping with a handgun at any range, including point blank, would know that.

And the daughter wouldn't have to ask about hollow points, that many shots in a tight grouping with .40 caliber hollow points wouldn't have left anything but hamburger.

For the record, I don't own a firearm and never have.
