Here I am thinking I'd like to get a 50 BMG or a S&W Model 500 when I should just host a gun buyback and score something much better

Joe Darnell of South Bend said he gave away his 32 mm revolver because it was a gun that his son had found underneath the front seat of a second-hand car he once bought. Darnell said he had never used the gun his son gave him a decade ago, and he keeps another one anyway -- a 16-gauge shotgun -- for "home security."

Bob Beals of Mishawaka said he bought a 22 mm pistol 15 years ago for protection but had never used it and probably never would.

32mm is 1.25 inches. 22mm is .86 inches. The largest production handgun uses a half inch projectile. I'm willing to bet the author meant .32 and .22 caliber but didn't know enough about firearms to accurately write about them. That would be par for the course.

You know the difference between a used car salesman and a journalist writing about guns? The used car salesman knows he's lying.
