My comments are underlined. The Gun Blobbers put the inventors and engineers of these death machines on a pedestal. They hold Samuel Colt, John Browning, and Eugene Stoner in high regard. In a continuing series, the VPC Blog will examine each of these death makers in turn. (They should say life savers, my life has been saved by these great men's inventions) Elmer Keith was a boisterous cowboy and inventor of several deadly types of ammunition. He first invented the .357 Magnum at the request of police officers. The .357 Magnum could penetrate the primitive armor vests worn at the time. This obviously means he wanted to kill cops. The .357 Magnum went on to become one of the most common, and therefore deadly, firearms cartridges around. (Elmer always supported law and order, Elmer staunchly supported police officers. Boisterous?) Later, Elmer Keith created the .44 Magnum cartridge, an even more deadly form of his .357 Magnum. It went on to star in a series of Dirty Harry films, and kill numerous police officers on the streets. (Elmer created the 44 Magnum for hunting, it has never been used in large numbers against police oficers) Keith’s attempts at killing cops inspired many other devious gun makers. One group created the .454 Casull in 1959. This bullet moves so fast that it can penetrate a Kevlar vest. Another group of police “officers” invented a brass bullet to penetrate car windows, yet it could also penetrate Kevlar vests! (454 is Another hunting round, not used against police) On top of this, the dastards invented these bullets before Kevlar vests were even created! How low will the Gun Blobby sink? Special Thanks to The Gun Guys. |

| johniv Registered: 01/11/09 Posts: 8 | 02/04/09 at 03:03 PM We all know these are lies(actually I would call it PROPAGANDA, it reads like radio Hanoi or radio Peking in the 60's) the terrible thing is, some ignorant people who havent the good fortune to have learned from E.K (and many others, Col. Cooper for one) will believe this tripe. To those of us who study Keith's work (and learn from it) these bozos are transparent fools. |

| SafarisAfrica Registered: 01/03/09 Posts: 109 | 02/05/09 at 12:56 PM I wonder if the Keith family could sue over someone publishing such defamatory obviously untrue statements. |

| Southernman Registered: 12/11/08 Posts: 65 | 02/16/09 at 02:53 PM They should start trying to figure out how many cops Jack Daniels has killed since he came out with OLD NO. 7 |
| Jamesfromjersey Registered: 02/21/09 Posts: 88 | 03/15/09 at 04:53 AM This has to be the boldest lie`s ever printed. It would almost be worth his family going to court. It`s a sad time we live in........ |
| KansasScout Registered: 12/29/09 Posts: 19 | 12/31/09 at 10:39 PM It would be fun to have Old Elmer still around and read that. Bet he would track them down and have a heart to heart with them... |
| gunsmith Registered: 07/06/08 Posts: 73 | 02/09/10 at 11:40 PM If you read the article, the comment about Elmer being a Deputy Sheriff, and how he was always behind police officers, was mine. I hope it is still there. |
