.22s get no respect

From a discussion about .22-caliber firearms in the MS gun list:
ME*: Do not buy one of these with plans to shoot at a bad guy with it. Unless you are doing a muzzle-against-their-head assassination shot (which probably doesn't hold up in court as "self defense"), a .22 will not hurt or stop whoever you fire at.
BT: I dunno Matt. If someone shot me with a .22, and I found out about it, I would be really angry! :)
* Initials "M.E.", not "me."
