Rabbi Meir Kahane coined the phrases “Never again,” and “every Jew a .22” to emphasize that Jews would no longer be passive.
“…the .22 LR will kill you dead, just as much as any other cartridge out there. Just because it throws a little 40 grain piece of led slightly over the speed of sound, doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve respect. Its lethality is well known by mafia hitmen, poachers, assassins, and other unsavory characters just as it is to small game hunters across the world.”
What can a .22 do for you?
For many shooters reading this, your first gun was likely a .22 rifle. It was a right of passage, given to you by your grandfather, dad or favorite uncle. For others who didn’t live in a gun-friendly house hold, your first exposure to shooting was likely with the Boy Scouts of America. BSA still has a marksmanship merit badge, and summer-time scout camp serves as the first shooting “competition” many young men participate in.
Regardless if it’s backyard plinking, shooting on a NRA small bore team, or finally turning 18 and buying your first rifle, the veteran .22 Long Rifle cartridge is the most common cartridge new shooters are taught on. As far as rounds produced per year, it is by far the most common cartridge in the world today.
