Rolling Stone inspires mockery with list of most dangerous guns

This may be the greatest Rolling Stone post in American history. It is so stupid that I literally have no words. http://t.co/ZpjQhmGfBL

No need to pick up the latest issue of Rolling Stone to learn which are “the 5 most dangerous guns in America;” National Review’s Charles C. W. Cooke has recompiled the exhaustive list at NRO. Drum roll, please.

1. Pistols
2. Revolvers
3. Rifles
4. Shotguns
5. Derringers

Rolling Stone based its ratings on “a combination of availability, portability and criminal usage.” Some, however, question the expertise of Rolling Stone when it comes to deadly weapons. Professional marksman “Top Shot” Chris Cheng, for example, retweeted this alternative list of dangerous knives.

Top 5 most dangerous knives:
– sharp ones
– dull ones
– metal ones
– big ones
– machetes—   (@laurakfillault) July 15, 2014

Rolling Stone certainly did “start a dialogue” with its list.
