I'm torn because I can't get angry at the cops when I'm like, well, they're probably

standing there thinking, well, how do I, how do I compete with what that kid has, the firepower?

And that goes to why does an 18 year old need an assault style AR 15 or whatever and that much ammunition. That should never,

if he just had a pistol, I think the cops would able to get in there quickly and take down

the threat much more effectively. Every firearm round is going to do extreme damage.

I mean, you can get shot by a 22, which is small-scalibre round practically out there that's

commercially sold frequently, and you can die from it, or you can survive from it.

And the same thing can be said from that.

They do do damage, the bigger the caliper goes.

But when you go up in the caliber, you're going to find. The same thing can be said from that. They do do damage, the bigger the caliper goes.

But when you go up in the caliber, you're going to find that a handgun, I mean, a 357 magnum wheel gun will do horrific damage.

Welcome to the unspeakable podcast.

I'm your host, Megan Down.

This episode is about guns. It's the first of a two-part series I'm going to do over two weeks. And I'm going to say more about that in a minute,

but first an item of business. So I am getting an overwhelming response to my new project,

the unspeak-easy. You may have already heard me talking about it,

but in case not, this is a heterodox community for women. If you listen to a lot of podcasts like

this one, you may have noticed that despite a handful of women in the host's seats and in the audience,

there are perhaps not quite as many women's voices in the overall mix as we may like.

So that is why I am creating a community for free-thinking women,

and it will exist both online and in real life.
