Army's new handgun will result in carnage

There’s a new semi-automatic handgun on the horizon for the Army that U.S. consumers may have access to almost immediately. When that happens, America’s emergency rooms better be prepared for the carnage that’s likely to follow.

How do idiots like this one call themselves journalist and get published?

The entire article steams like a pile o' poo on a winter morning. Lousy conclusions and inferences, then the last comments about gun ownership numbers dropping.

I am however, interested in reading about the design requirements that are to be released. Anyone know of links?

I dont see where emergency rooms and carnage even need to be mentioned in the article. There is nothing else mentioned of this.

The Army’s New Handgun: A Weapon for Criminals?

Who hires these F*cktards to write for them?

Some of the authors who write these stories are indeed stupid people. Some actually believe what they are saying. Others are intelligent propaganda artists who are writing these stories to influence ignorant people. Either way, the results are the same.

I'd like to see the requirements for the new pistol.
Piece is obviously slanted, seems there's a lot of that going around.

 

[Rod Snell]

If you look up the "experts" who are being quoted in the article and dig into their background, you'll find a group of "hired gun" paid anti-2A writers who do "research" to support their intentional bias and preconceived ideas, and then endlessly quote each other.
The Johns Hopkins group provides an endless stream of "authoritative sounding BS."
The "Fiscal Times" publishes anti 2A articles routinely.

John Lott has addressed the bogus "research" and junk science of these writers.

This was an interesting and fun read. Although I don't think the 43% rise in multiple gun shot wounds can be attributed to the Beretta M9.

it is simply a pre-RFP (request for proposal) these are out there for potential bidders. The bidders read the Pre-RFP and then ask questions. Once all the questions are out the questions and answers are posted. In addition specific clarification is added in the final RFP. Or is there some other question you were wondering about?
