(1,533 posts)And this is from the same "Abbott and associates" whose solution for gun violence in schools after the Uvalde incident was to send DNA testing kits to parents. I won't comment any further as I am trying to minimize my profanity....

victim. It can all but blow your leg off with one round.
This is madness pure madness.
The idea that .223 bullets tumble any more or any less than other bullets is simply an old wives tale. They dont tumble.
They do, however, make massive wounds that can cause severe damage. Its from the energy, not the tumble.
History of the false notion that .223 (5.56mm) bullets tumble

Having said that, the course rates up there with CPR training. I bought one of the kits and it's in my car.

I think most voters are less concerned with sex than they are with murdered children.

(14,715 posts)lost their minds requiring a 3rd grader to take this. They should have to get permission from the parents and the child. I am sure they would have to get permission from parent on sex education and same should go for this.
