How ironic. Not really
Yes, really. Comically ironic, actually.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

That' s moronic.
9mm is an old, (over 100 years) underpowered cartridge. It's use by military is mainly due to one factor - availability.
It is suitable for self defense use because it' s compact - and doesn't require a massive frame to handle the pressures involved.
But " military grade"?

Quote:Two 4-Year-Olds Killed by Guns in 2 Days
While mass shootings usually make headlines and capture the public’s attention, far more young lives are lost to gun violence in separate incidents, a new report indicates.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, 209 U.S. children have been killed or injured by guns since the start of 2019. In the last two days alone, two 4-year-old children have died in gun-related incidents.

Holy shit.
I've been insulted by a 6 year old.
How shall I ever recover?

The Gun Violence History Book
Quote:Every day a new page of gun violence history is written. And it’s not stopping.
The Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence — an organization committed to fighting the gun violence issue on a state and federal level — created The Gun Violence History Book. Made out of articles, facts, and data showcasing a tragic and deadly history that repeats itself.
This book has done what history has been unable to do. Stop a bullet.
The book features 19 milestones to help you better understand gun violence, and how common-sense gun regulations, such as universal background checks, will help it.
But more than it being a sad uncovering of our past, this book acts as a lesson for the future – for Americans young and old who still believe there is a way for us to close the book on America’s gun violence history.

Sure, but what do you think of the rules to get a gun here? I am no enthusiast, so to me they are pointless.
