        <description><![CDATA[Why not make a barrel that will spin around? You don't even bother to eject the spent cartridge you use that quick load strip to place 2 bullets in same hole where a bullet just left the barrel quick flip  you would be able to fire very quickly this way. Meant for close up work no need for the sights since you will use this as center mass firing.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[The Wide Range of Subjects Here]]></title>
        <link><![CDATA[http://www.smartplanet.com/forum/discussions/1-9827-83801]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[While the debates concerning firearms are a seemingly endless set of pro and con terms, IMHO I rather enjoy Tuan's forays into firearms.  It shows that Smart Planet is not above addressing a wider range of subjects than some Channels, Forums, Blogs and Discussion Groups who apparently have vested interests that shade their content.  That sort of range will keep me coming back for the firearms content as well as all the rest, sort of nice to have a place that informs without trying to interject a singular point of view.As to the subject of this article, overpriced though it may be, the current political climate has pushed that dollar sign button beyond what seems to be rationale, it is a solid chunk of self defense weaponry.  I had the opportunity to handle one at a local gun show and its' weight would offset the recoil of even the .45 ACP chambering.  The venting on the barrels also helps in the recoil aspect and keep them down for the second shot.  Being a &quot;Gun Crank&quot; of the first water, I take a pair of snap caps in multiple calibers so that I could try the trigger and functioning of any hand guns that might pic my interests to most gun shows any more.  While the advertised 10 pound trigger pull may seem a bit harsh, in reality the ball bearing design offsets that to a degree you would be surprised by.  In a situation where you would be required to pull this out and use it for its' intended purpose, just like the noise level generated by any hand gun in a stressed environment such as that, you wouldn't even notice it. The 9mm second caliber option would be a nice practice option but not one for defense purposes.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.smartplanet.com/forum/discussions/1-9827-76405]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[Correlations between crime and gun ownership are speculative, as opposed to correlations between drug use and crime, which are direct and rising.  Does anyone really think that a burglar looking for something to sell for his next fix thinks about the possibility of the owner having a gun?Gun owners also seem to have an affection for their guns that outstrips rationality -- I have not seen similar passion for vehicles or other possessions.  If it was simply safety, one gun (most effectively a shotgun) would do and security systems would work even better.  Instead we protect the right to have arsenals and to freely sell guns with few protections aimed at limiting ownership to those with proven responsibility.The lack of rationality means that reasonable regulation is all but impossible.  We need to be licensed and prove competence to operate a vehicle, but not to own a gun.  Multiple people are killed each year in gun accidents (especially kids) but training and mandatory safety precautions (separate guns &amp; ammo, trigger locks etc.) are consistently opposed, even though the chance of someone you love being hurt by loaded gun you keep in your bedside table is far higher than the odds of a home invasion.Meanwhile, this article merely trumpets the availability of another gun of extremely limited utility (its size and potential recoil makes accuracy highly dubious), but no doubt it will be a best seller.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I won't debate politics and do not care about advertising, I'd have that, but not at the crazy price as I can get a full size weapon for that, and to be honest a 38 derringer, which is cheap, is as good close up, which is what the little weaons like that are for, when one is being mugged or cornered etc. I protected myself with a .45 handgun and avoided being physically harmed. I am glad to have had it in-hand and ready to fire when I confronted 4 burglars at 3 AM. I am happy there were 9 rounds in the magazine. The burglars were not happy that I had it. Not at all, no, the criminals were certainly not pleased with me at all. Based on the number of burglars encountered at once and the level to which drugs can fortify the criminal's or addict's body against damage for the short time necessary to reach the home's defender or potential victims, I subsequently obtained a similarly powerful handgun with 15 rounds capacity. I would not like to run out of ammunition, that would be embarrassing. Burglars are not such harmless sneak thieves and won't always leave or be scared off. They are violent criminals on drugs who will do anything to avoid jail, really they behave more like blood-crazed zombies than anything else. Upon discovery, they may simply stand there and then suddently attack, or attack right away, or do nothing -keep working or stealing whatever. It's not worth the risk to be unprepared. They are very pitiful people but more dangerous than a grizzly bear. There is an imaginary line about 20 FT away. If the assailant is able to move inside that line, the defender may be injured before he has a chance to stop the attack. It's no good to have shot your assailant dead if he has stuck a knife in your gut on the way down. That is from a policeman.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[But you might also want to take into consideration the population per square mile of those other countries.  Not to mention that in those other countries, like Denmark, have socialist structured government that either finds jobs for the jobless or pays them handsomely for unimployment insurance, which is why their taxes are so darned high.  Plus their prison terms are so much harsher.  And then there's all the burglaries that go unreported over there.  Also, only handguns are outlawed without special permits in Denmark, Canada and Germany.  I've been to those countries.....  Either way, the U.S. is the only country that has something called the 2nd Amendment, and we really don't give a hoot how those other countries bind their citizens with gun restrictions.  That's them, this is us, and I have guns to prove it...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Seriously, you had to put the guy in a hood and put gloves on him to get the results you wanted and you think we didn't notice? Look for the real statistics, do not be misled by the opinions of the misguided. The statistics speak loudly and inconveniently to those who think that guns cause crime. But they don't want to accept the truth so they continue propagating their fantasy. Every gun owner should practice not only shooting but situational training. It is available nearly everywhere and would make an even bigger reduction in crime, rape and murder. Why not do some good for the country and your fellow citizens and report the truth ABC.]]></description>
