Libertyman, I find your assertation about the .22 and 9x18 a little hard to buy, altough it can be taken two ways. Were you trying to say that more people are killed with "underpowered" caliber rounds or that more people were killed because they tried to use those rounds for defence?And if it is the former, why would you call them underpowered? Most people think that .380 ACP (9x17) on up is reasonable for defence, and the 9mm Makarov round is more potent than a .380. Do you have any actual data for your claim?
