Perhaps the reason he shot himself in the arm was to show that he thinks people should be dis"armed" on campus?

That's a really good question. I know .22 lr can be hard to find at times, but I don't think anyone has resorted to selling it by the individual round.Jusme wrote: Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:45 pm Bird told Officer Summerlin that he had purchased the gun to shoot himself about two months earlier, and that he only bought two rounds of ammunition because he only needed to fire the gun once.
Where do you buy two rounds of .22 lr?
I hope he never has the chance to teach again. There would be $100 bills taped up on mirrors all over the country.![]()
Maybe his aim would improve with a rifle?JustSomeOldGuy wrote: Mon Sep 17, 2018 11:43 am If he wanted to protest the availability of AR-15's, he should have shot himself with one, instead of with a .22 derringer.......![]()

If we have a societal breakdown in the future, I can envision ammo being used much like we use coins and paper money today. Presumably .22lr would be a small denomination compared to larger rounds, and people might exchange a number of rounds for things like food, water, fuel, etc.WildRose wrote: Mon Sep 17, 2018 11:54 pmNot since the great depression anyhow.Soccerdad1995 wrote: Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:58 pmThat's a really good question.

My great grandfather actually bought one round at a time for his .38 to feed his family of 9 at the time occasionally.
I bought large, volumes of .22LR and all of the popular pistol and rifle "tactical calibers" as soon as it looked like Obama might win in 2008.Soccerdad1995 wrote: Tue Sep 18, 2018 10:37 amIf we have a societal breakdown in the future, I can envision ammo being used much like we use coins and paper money today.

Let's hope that never comes to pass. Of course, history seems to indicate otherwise. Who knows, maybe our current civilization will be the anomaly and really will last forever?
Same as my great grandfather but making only 30.00 a month as a federal marshal plus bounties feeding nine kids he was lucky to afford one at a time some months.WTR wrote: Tue Sep 18, 2018 1:52 pm I knew a gentleman who would but 5 rounds at a time during the deporession in order to feed himself. He said it made you a pretty careful shot.
