You're very close. She meant this, but you need the full paragraph to get her point:<br /><br /><i><b>Yeah, we paused for a moment.</b> Back in January. <b>But</b> then February came and the Republicans made a show of wanting to use the power they'd won in the last election.</i><br /><br />She's saying, "Everyone on the left <b>claimed</b> to want civility, until the Republicans tried to exercise their power. Then they abandoned civility because it was no longer useful."<br /><br />What retire05 missed -- and perhaps you missed, too, I'm not sure -- is that this post is tagged "civility bullshit". That's because Professor Althouse has said all along that the calls for civility are bullshit, an attempt by liberals to shut conservatives up. She called it "civility bullshit" because the liberals never really wanted civility, and also because liberals never condemned other liberals for the same sort of language or far worse.<br /><br />Do yourself a favor: click that "civility bullshit" link. Read what the Professor wrote there, especially the earliest posts. She was uniformly scornful of the calls for civility, because she knew then that those were merely tools to try to silence conservative voices.<br /><br />And this post is in the exact same vein. Early, she explained that calls for civility were a tool, and would be abandoned when they were no longer useful (i.e., when the left was caught being incivil); here, she shows that in fact the calls for civility <b>have</b> been abandoned.Martin L.

Close range head shots from .22s are usually fatal because the bullet does not have enough power to exit the skull and therefore ricochets around inside the brain case.<br /><br />Or so I've been told.<br /><br />That's what happened to Robert Kennedy -- close range head shot. Ronald Reagan was fortunate that Hinckley's gun was not of heavier caliber -- he missed with all six shots, but one ricocheted off Reagan's armored limousine back into his torso and stopped just short of his heart. Had the pistol been of heavier caliber the bullet would have kept going.Big Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831645119853118904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-5982349469227089192011-03-05T20:23:46.408-06:002011-03-05T20:23:46.408-06:00Trooper, 22 auto are favored because they are ligh...Trooper, 22 auto are favored because they are light, easily concealed. cycle very fast and are easy to silence. the 22lr has a very high lethality as it tends to bounce around inside the skull. <br /><br />Hagar the rimfire 22s (l lr and short) are not in the same class as the 22 centerfires - 223, 224, 22hornet, 22 chetah, 22-250 etc) The later rank very much higher that the former in term of power and range. <br /><br />Fls, you are mistaken about Giannconna.

The sourdough told the story of the punk who was gunning for his father with a .22 pistol.

Some do, some don't. The Garand and "Broomhandle Mauser" are examples of autoloaders that use clips, while an AR-15 or a Glock are autoloaders that use magazines. <br /><br />I believe .22's are also popular as an assassination tool of the Mossad-- they're small and relatively quiet. <br /><br />Reagan and Robert Kennedy were shot with a .22's.A "Shotgun" Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315333706550900705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-70997486959101679252011-03-05T18:51:49.791-06:002011-03-05T18:51:49.791-06:00Tyron Slothrop, so I see your form of debate is to...Tyron Slothrop, so I see your form of debate is to hurl insults at those that disagree with you. Fine, I will then treat you as the child you are. And unlike you, what I post here is not squawking. I type with my fingers, not my vocal cords. <br /><br />This is a "free speech" zone? And can you name me a "not free speech" zone on the internet? Oh, yes, you mentioned PuffingtonPost and DailyKos. Odd they were the first to come to your mind. But since I don't post on those sites, I guess I really have no worry about them being "not free speech" sites, although that doesn't surprise me since liberal only believe in THEIR free speech, not the free speech of others.<br /><br />So I leave you to stew in your own sauce since you think I insulted the Goddess of Althouse. <br /><br />But I will point out the reason you visit a blog: opinion AND information.

It will just take time and they can still kill you. If you want to make sure someone goes down with one shot use a 45.<br /><br />As has been already noted, 22lr is used for rabbit and squirrel hunting but it is also the best coon round around. When you hunt coon with dogs they end up in a tree 30' from you. You don't want to use any larger caliber because you are going to get a through-and-through with very little drop off in velocity.jerryofvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02505743221755443719noreply@blogger.com
