Smithsonian Guards' Guns

I know this isn't especially relevant to Ffx Co. But lots of us do visit the Smithsonian Museums. Does anybody know what gun they carry? It looks like a fairly decent size revolver. Maybe a Smith or a Taurus?

Most armed guards used to carry Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolvers. If you worked for a company like Dunbar armored, it was probably a police trade in that many people before you used as well.

Back in the early 90's I worked at one of the Smithsonian museum's where an armed security guard murdered an unarmed cafeteria worker. They were in a spat over a man and the armed guard figured she she had it easy since the rest of us were in a gun free zone. The cafeteria, not so much. Not saying she'd have had a gun or been able to defend herself, but it was a no-brainer for the guard since she knew her prey would be unarmed.

At about 12:49 p.m., the 88-year-old James von Brunn drove his car to the 14th Street entrance of the museum. Von Brunn entered the museum when security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns opened the door for him. Authorities said he raised a .22-caliber rifle and shot Johns,who later died of his injuries at the George Washington University Hospital.Two security guards, Harry Weeks and Jason "Mac" McCuiston, returned fire, wounding von Brunn.

Keep in mind the .22 he used to kill the guard would in all probability not be on the list of banned assault weapons due to its small caliber.

AR-15's are also .22 caliber but they're being demonized and referred to as an assault weapon.

Order of magnitude difference in kinetic energy between a a .22 and a .223. Not that you can't kill someone with either, obviously.

@16 - thats cause the ar-15 can spit out more of those .22's for a longer sustained time period than can a pistol - kinda why we consider it an ASSUALT weapon. Cause it's designed for something OTHER than defense.

Are you stupid? .223 is four times the size of .22LR.

No, the complete round is bigger but the bullets are the same. A .223 just has more powder behind it. To answer G boulevard there actually are .22 handguns that hold more than 30 rounds.

The difference is smaller than a cunt hair. I get a charge out of the dumbass media referring to an AR-15 as a large caliber firearm.

Yeah, I dont know much about guns. What's your fucking point? If I'm wrong about something, then TELL ME HOW, show us what I'm wrong about, and provide links so you can educate your neighbors on what you know.

Diameter is about the same but there is a slight fucking difference in length and cartridge size. Have you ever seen a human body that was hit with a .223 round?
I never want to see a child hit by one again.

You obviously dont regularly use firearms if you think a .223 and .22 are significantly different in size or if theyre defensive weapons and offensive weapons. You know what a defensive weapon is a claymore mine. Or if you think .22 pistols dont hold close to if not more rounds than a rifle.

Actually if you do regularly use firearms you should honestly stop and take a safety course or an education class on guns with how misinformed you are about them.

Ive told you how youre wrong about everything in numerous threads, you just keep spewing the same incorrect information in every thread that appears. You dont have the first clue about crime, about what weapons are actually used in crimes, about where the weapons came from, or even a basic understanding of what weapons are/how they work yet were supposed to listen rants about how evil and dangerous guns are from a person that doesnt even know what they are other than they shoot stuff.

@chuckhoffman:

Good find. I couldn't remember the exact date and year but I did recall it was summer because I went to the funeral over in Anacostia and the church was packed and being early September and wearing a suit it was ball-sweating hot.

Cheryl was one of the first people to befriend me when I started working there. Every morning I'd get in a little early to get some breakfast at the cafeteria and would be greeted by the friendliest smile and most positive personality in Cheryl. She was really a wonderful person. I'm not trying to get all sappy, but it was kind of saddening when she was murdered like that.

They could be old Smith & Wesson Model 10s that were made surplus when police made the switch to pistols......or they could be some Taurus/Rossi knockoff.



Apparently the Smithsonian has armed security guards for most of the buildings and exhibits, but the zoo part actually has accredited police officers. They are called the Zoological Police, have police powers in DC, and they get sent to FLETC for training.

Nice some more immature fallacies. .223 vs .22 matters if youre shooting at 100 yards. If your walking around a school shooting people it makes no difference which is what apparently started all this "concern" in the first place.

Funny how you cant even figure out from your own picture that the vast majority of the size difference is from the powder and not the projectile itself.

Or do you now plan to argue .22s are deadly.

Next youll be telling me the military uses .223 rounds and thats why theyre so dangerous

And thus youve proved my point. You have absolutely no idea what youre talking about in any way shape or form and cannot defend or make a single coherent statement. So you resort to name calling and topic changes.


Anyone who makes the statement "thats cause the ar-15 can spit out more of those .22's for a longer sustained time period than can a pistol - kinda why we consider it an ASSUALT weapon. Cause it's designed for something OTHER than defense." has no business talking about gun violence. Literally nothing you said in that statement was true yet you somehow know how to stop gun violence.

So tell me what part of 12k murders from 300 million guns is such an epidemic that you make it out to be.

Why are guns increasing every year while gun violence is decreasing. By your logic it should be going up.

Why does the majority of gun violence come from young black male gang members if its such an epidemic everywhere?

If you know whats best why cant you put together a factual statement and actually discuss the issue like a mature adult using actual facts?

anywho, you got me. how DARE i not know what size bullets come out of the damn gun that's mowing down kids in a school LoLz - my priorites are SO out of whack on that one, Sarge - ROFLMAO@U and yr inability to see how kinda inhuman yr being.

And I'm honestly not trying to clown you. I seriously think yr fear of..............well whatever it is has blinded you. Take a look at what you just wrote to me, yo:

1) So tell me what part of 12k murders from 300 million guns is such an epidemic that you make it out to be.
you focus more on the firearm number than the number of human lives, FELLOW AMERICAN LIVES taken? 12K murders is like OVER THREE/FOUR FUCKING TIMES what Bin Laden did. So I guess he wasnt worth doing anything about either in yr eyes, right?


Why are guns increasing every year while gun violence is decreasing. By your logic it should be going up.

lol whut? Here's this inhuman logic again. Yeah, Gordo - these gun murders are just in the thousands, not tens of thousands it used to be................so it's ok? Just nuts, yo. And NO, by ANY sane person's logic, you'd want to grow up and work to decrease gun violence as much as possible (and not be satisfied with just trickles)

Why does the majority of gun violence come from young black male gang members if its such an epidemic everywhere?

Wow. Are you really asking this? Cause last I checked, Sandy Hook, Batman, and Fireman killer were white as rice. Not too sure why race is all of a sudden a factor in gun violence to you.....................but um, any gun laws wouldnt be race-based so there's no worry for you on that, k? o_0

If you know whats best why cant you put together a factual statement and actually discuss the issue like a mature adult using actual facts?

HA! That's HILARIOUS! To you, mature adults have to know about firearms. ROFLMAO!!! As for facts.........................

Yea why should we let facts get in the way of someone clearly as informed and intelligent as you.

Obviously youre in high school and the educational system has failed you.

Yes if your going to argue something is more dangerous and needs to be banned then you should know what youre talking about.

Yes Im a terrible person because I would expect someone arguing to trample the constitution to at least be informed about what they are saying.

Hundred of people die from swimming pools. Thousands die every year from doctor prescribed medicines. Wheres the outrage for that?

You do understand that things have to be looked at in proportion. Again you ignore the fact that most of those are gang related, tell me what law has ever changed the way a gang operates?

Last I checked 50 deaths isnt the majority of gun violence, if it is its even less of a problem.

Oh right I forgot you dont deal in facts you just use extreme rare incidents to emotionalize things when facts dont support the bullshit you spew.

You have proved without a doubt to be one of the dumbest anti gun posters on this website and that really is quite an accomplishment. Well done.

Theres really nothing else to say to someone as stupid as you and there really is just no other way to describe what you wrote. Youre right how dare I expect someone to be informed about something when they decide to enter EVERY thread about it saying the same bullshit. Do yourself a favor and leave adult issues to adults.

Basically to sum up your entire response since there wasnt a single fact or intelligent response:

Gordon Blvd, what you just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

so let's review this 101 logic here:

a) name calling is ok acceptable when he/she does it
b) you really should know at caliber the bullet the psycho or crook has that is shooting at you - or else you really have no reason to be upset at such a possibility happening to yr friends or fam
c) asking gun owners to be more responsible = trampling on the Constitution
d) a swimming pool is the same as a gun (WOW)
e) you've obviously never heard of the RICO act (google it)


101, what you just wrote is sadly, not one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. (that honour still goes to that Rose Hill thread) You are still so wrapped up in seeing me as some "anti-gun" person when in reality, if you've ever bothered to actually read what I've written, you'd see differently. But whateves - this aint my first rodeo.

I never claimed to be a gunnut like you. I'm just someone with kids who never wants to see this happen at Forestville or Aldrin. Your attitude towards me, ppl like me, and our concerns for our and our kids safety (i.e fuck off, little kid, your vote dont count) really shows me what a typical gun person TRULY thinks of their neighbors in their community.

Again youve yet to make a single factual truthful statement. Still waiting for you to provide a single fact about anything. Ive read everything youve written and all you do is contradict yourself left and right and base your opinions off of lies and what you think to be true which couldnt be further from the truth.

I really hope you dont have kids "yo".

My attitude towards people like you is entirely based in the fact that you have no clue what your discussing.

Guns are illegal in schools.
It was illegal for the shooter to have those guns.
He transported them illegal.
Pointing guns at people is illegal.
Shooting at people is illegal.
Murdering people is illegal.

Please tell me how one more law would have stopped that. The only way to stop murderers with guns is for someone to have the ability to forcefully stop them. Not trampling the constitution because you dont have a clue what youre talking about "yo".

Im really getting bored with you if you arent going to bring a single fact to the table.

You have to keep it simple when you're talking to Gordog.

Approach it as if you're talking to a big dumb Golden Lab.

You know the way that they kind of cock their head to the side and look at you with that puzzled look?

There ya go. Now you're at the right level.

I once lived out in the countryside, where the police were 30 minutes away if they showed up at all. 5 people showed up wielding handguns and shotguns. I had my AK and my wife had the AR. It went down like this (in the country of course):

Maybe we need a law against straw purchases. Oh wait, they're already illegal. By definition, they would not be a law-abiding gun owner if they participated in a straw purchase.

The vast majority of straw purchases are by organized criminal groups not by typical gun owners. The ATF understands this. Apparently you don't.

No, you stupid ignorant dumbfuck douche. .22LR bullets are 36 to 60 grains in weight (2.3 to 3.9 grams), while .223 bullets range from 40 to 90 grains in weight (2.6 to 5.8 grams).

Which says, exactly what I said. Straw purchases already are illegal. From your own link - "buying a gun for someone who is prohibited is a federal crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000."

With regard to the nature of gun trafficing and the significance of organized delivery and diversion of guns versus simple casual sales or straw purchases by individuals, see the ATF's own reviews of traced weapons associated with gun crimes, for example, here:

http://policeissues.com/Sources.pdf

In particular Table IV on page 231 and the discussion which follows through page 234 re the importance of illicit organized sources and dealers.

But then I shouldn't expect a dumb dog like you to actually read and understand such things, even your own links. lol

I'm far more worried about a guy with a pistol than I am worried about some clown with an AR-15. Pistols are generally small caliber with very manageable recoil. In many cases, they have larger rounds than AR-15 does. You can fire a pistol rapidly and accurately with a minimum of training. The AR-15 is longer, far more cumbersome, and has a kick. You can fire it rapidly, but it requires a good deal of training to fire it rapidly and accurately.

As I said earlier today, accuracy will trump firepower. The Charlie Whitman types are the ones who scare me most; they're well trained for the most part. The Adam Lanzas worry me a little less than the Charlie Whitmans. Make no mistake, they scare me too. Both are very dangerous. IMO, one is more dangerous than the other.

@YC - and yet I've got can count 3 untrained ppl committing AR-15 mass killings in public locations ALL IN THE LAST MONTH. And it's that combanation of accuratcy and firepower ALONG with that AR-15's ability for long-range killing (I love how everyone around here likes to forget about BLUE TARP at Exxon when talking about this stuff) makes them more dangerous than a pistol.

@102-yes, those facts like how pistols are like swimming pools LoLz

@good - tl/dr. And sigh...........never stated straw purchases are illegal. Just stated (AGAIN....cause y'all gun nuts would rather fight than LISTEN) that I wished gun owners/lovers would work WITH other Americans instead of AGAINST their neighbors and their community to REDUCE gun crime.

And since it's LEGAL gun owners/lovers who sell/purchase a gun, and THEN turn around and ILLEGALLY give that same gun to others, I call on them to stop this culture that permeates in their community. We alllllllllready know that I dont know (or care) about what caliber bullet you would shoot me or my kids with when you go crazy at the Safeway :(

Wow, you've got that seriously backwards. At the same range for an untrained shooter, the AR-15 is much more accurate than a pistol due to the longer sight radius and more easily controllable recoil. Because fucky the you.

What range are we talking about? Pistols are generally easier to handle. Why do you think the majority of murders are committed with handguns?

That is true, both of you are right actaully. The rifles are accurate and easier for a first time shooter to be on target with from about 10 feet or more. Most shootings happen within a couple feet where the rifle is harder to get on target and move around than a pistol would be. Even a novice shooter can hit with any weapon 3 or 4 feet away.

Anything up close youd rather have a pistol than a rifle if your life depended on it. But bother can either be easier or harder to be accurate depending on the situation.

Getting back to the shootings that started it all a pistol is the more effective weapon, faster reloads, no one opposing you, easier to aim. Hence the Newton shooter LEFT THE AR IN THE CAR.

You rattled off your same tired bullshit and posted a link to an article re straw purchases. You follow in this post with a whine about people engaging in straw purchases. Now why would we think that you're talking about straw purchases? Which again ALREADY ARE ILLEGAL and not something that LEGAL gun owners do (by definition).

I'm sorry, but you have it backwards.

1) At any range, a rifle is more accurate than a handgun (longer barrel)

2) The AR-15's recoil is minimal. Your grandmother could fire one without much problem. (it was made to have little recoil)

3) In rapid fire a rifle generally takes less time to re-acquire the target. (longer, heavier barrel, that you are holding on to)


I agree, handguns do kill many more people a year than rifles, but not for the reasons you mentioned.

Also I noticed near the top that there was an argument about .22LR vs. .223 ....

While the actual bullets are NEARLY the same size (Yes, I know the .223 is slightly wider and heavier). The .223 has much more powder than the .22, giving the .223 about twice the velocity of the .22

Now... if you think back to high school physics.... Force = mass x velocity. So even though the bullets that leave the gun are nearly the same size and mass, the .223 has TWICE the force since it is moving twice as fast as its' slower .22 counterpart.

Therefore, .223 is considerably more powerful than a .22

Wow, you couldn't post total bullshit just once? The .223 round is up to 3 times bigger than the .22 round, because fucky the you,

.22LR mass is 20-60 grains... generally 40 grains

.223 Remington's mass is 55-90 grains..... generally 55 grain

I don't see how you think the .223 is THREE times the size.

20 goes into 90 four and a half times, so "up to 3 times" was quite reasonable. Fucky the you.

The bullet itself is comparable.

But you missed the point that the .223 isnt the deadly military round with no equals anywhere else in the gun world like people like you want us to believe.

I bet you think the military uses them as well

20 and 90 are the absolute extremes. 40 and 60-ish would be more realistic weights for the vast majority of ammo actually used.

In any case, the more significant factor than size/weight is the velocity. The .223/5.56 is moving much faster and that's the more important aspect in the equation. i.e., I can toss a basketball to you, no big deal. Take a marble and send it your way at +2,000 ft/sec., and it's a big deal. Send the same 40 g at twice the velocity and it's going to hit with about double the force. No round that you fire from a .22 is going to match the lowest powered .223.

First, let's get this out of the way: fucky the you.

>The bullet itself is comparable.

Not.

>Send the same 40 g at twice the velocity and it's going to hit with about double the force.

A bullet delivers energy, not force, to its target. It is accelerated by the force of the explosion of the powder (F=MA). A .223 round at 100 yards delivers TEN TIMES the energy of a .22 round.

When I want to know what you know, I'll look in the dictionary under "jackshit".

To recap, fucky the you,

And you prove my point once again. The Miliatry DOES NOT use the rifles in question. In fact no military IN THE WORLD uses them.

But dont let facts get in the way.

The Rifle wasnt even used in the Newton shooting either but you must be a few weeks behind on the news it was in the car

Duh,
The military still uses armalite and colt M 16's that uses the .223/5.56 caliber round. Most NATO countries use automatic rifles with the same caliber.
The US military is replacing M 16's with the M 4's that still uses .223/5.56 rounds.

I'm so stupid. I should join the military and learn my weapons.

Must really be hitting a nerve since you keep stealing my name. Once again proving liberals cant handle facts or debate them.

.223 and .556 are not the same rounds, the military uses .556. Civilan AR type rifles are semi automatic military ones are full auto with burst fire capibility and manufactured to much higher standards due to the increase rate of fire.

Please tell me more about weapons you clearly have no idea about. Again not a single military in the world is using the AR rifles gun stores have on their shelves.

You probably also clapped at Obamas line about banoets and horses despite the fact the military still uses those.

He also was a convicted violent felon.

Von Brunn was arrested in 1981 for attempted kidnapping and hostage-taking, of members of the Federal Reserve Board, after approaching the Federal Reserve's Eccles Building armed with a revolver, knife, and sawed-off shotgun.

Only special ops use modified M4 that fire full auto. The rest of us have a selector switch of safe, single, burst (as in 3 rounds)

Stop comparing a .22 to a .223 or 5.56mm round. You are making yourself look stupid.

We all know that mental health is the issue, not the gun or our constitution.

Put a loaded gun on a table and don't touch it. What happens? Nothing until you put an Adam Lanza in the room with it.

Guns do nothing without human interference. But the guns are the problem?

Sounds a bit ignorant of reality, history, and foresight.

All guns should be full auto...because the dumb asses that go and shoot up theaters will use it, be less accurate and run out of ammo in short order. Much less death in full auto.

Again full of shoit Gordon, liberals love to try and regulate things they have no clue about. You should let the military know that we no longer use horses in afghanistan particularlly special forces.

You should also go to a LEO convention and give your speech on how to stop crime after you get your parents permission of course
