Didn't want to be in the news so you shoot yourself?

Fucking prick.

add the fact that he tried to kill himself with .22 and he may just be really dumb

The J6 thing was the cause of the most ridiculous campus reaction I've ever witnessed. I hate college activism.

A .22 killed Robert Kennedy, to name one off the top of my head.

A .22 is actually a really nasty bullet despite its low power, since it isn't jacketed, if it hits something like, say, your ribcage, it can split, ricocheting everywhere inside you.

Bad buzz I believe is the term.

****edit, aside from ballistics...

Unless you're mentally unstable, or just plain dumb, there are way more effective ways of killing yourself than a .22lr.... I seem to remember a guy, possibly in Argentina who shot himself 7 times in the head and didn't die. Now *that* is nasty.

Always reminds me of Carlin talking about suicide

yeah of course, i wouldn't shoot myself my self with a .22 and expect to be ok, but for a suicide attempt i'd go for something with a bit more kick

.22 pistols are for rodents and target practice. A good .22 rifle is actually an ideal murder weapon. You don't have to register .22s. The are virtually untraceable. The bullet usually fragments and becomes near impossible to find.

They are still a gun. Even a BB gun can be deadly. But.

a .22 is a weak gun. If I was held at gun point and I could tell it was a .22, I would take my chances and try to disarm the gun(wo)man. a glock .40; however, is a completely different story.
