[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1615833, member: 3455"] Since BCs are the same - I guess the answer is never. I really think the biggest lesson learned from that article is that even if the person is very closely involved in the field and is generally respected, can be totally full of crap if their research/claims/opinions are not supported by data! Please note the whole article doesn't have [b]ANY[/b] data - the only real number mentioned: a) how many days there in the year: 365 - I think he got it right, sort of b) how many autopsies were performed: 8.2 EVERY DAY!!! - not bad for 328 firearm homicides that year IN THE WHOLE STATE OF TENNESSEE!! Assuming that he did every single autopsy in the state and the fact that 45acp is used in roughly 10% of homicides - well really shows you how many he [i]could[/i] possibly performed ... and in reality we are talking about 2-3 45acp deaths A YEAR!!!! That's it and that's all - everything else is pure speculation .... very sad now that I think about it. I'm afraid that the data was actually there and accessible, just not presented because it didn't fit the agenda (and how could it?!?). Point is: check your sources, check the data - then make conclusions. SHOW ME THA DATA BRO!!! [/QUOTE]
