    Difference? Victim of gun violence is dead vs. Victim of gun violence is dead?

      Victim of gun violence dead from across the room vs victim of gun violence dead from 3 football fields away.

      It makes sense to keep people indoors when they could likely never see the shooter.

        Both rounds are deadly out to 1000 yards and beyond, get outta here with that crap. Whether it’s effective or not is irrelevant. You wouldn’t find me not taking cover if someone was shooting at my position with 5.56 800 yards away.

          If they were shooting at you with a weapon designed for those ranges, and expertise in said weapon, you’ll be dead before you know what’s going on.

          If this guy is trained in hunting animals with such weaponry well… The ideal they go for is a single round to the head heart before the target even suspects something’s up. If they are consistently good at that with deer, then humans aren’t exactly harder.

            The ideal shot on a deer is through the heart. Hunting by shooting at the smallest, most mobile part of the deer is less common.

              Okay that’s fair, my bad. Point is, they’re going for one shot, one kill

            Hunters generally don’t shoot at the part they want to take as a trophy.
