Not dissing revolvers, would not be without a .357.
But they would only have about 1/3 as many rounds to fire indiscriminately.
It would make for a safer city.

You are right, Tom.  That citizen would have had a 300% better chance of not getting killed.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Guns aren't the only thing they can't be trusted with.

By Jaime Lutz, Globe Correspondent

Two Boston police officers responding to a report of gunshots being fired Thursday night in Dorchester spun out and crashed into a building at 208 Dudley St.

At about 11:45, police received a report of shots fired near the intersection of Adams and Dubois, a police report said.

On their way to the scene, the two officers drove their cruiser around another police vehicle to avoid a collision, only to spin out and collide with the building, the report said.

The two officers were transported to Boston Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

The building sustained some damage, while the cruiser received significant front-end damage.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Are you dis'n revolvers?   Huh?   Huh?  Don't be puttin' down revolvers now.  I pretty much cleaned up all the  semi-autos with my lowly revolver firing single action in the pin shoot this week.    I know 8-9 seconds ain't blazin' but takin' out 20 pins with 21 shots ain't bad.

On second thought, maybe they would do better gettin' rid of those sissy plastic guns.
