And if anyone is worried about the usefulness of .22, ~~it's the caliber the CEO shooter used isn't it?~~ I was mistaken, but in a shooting of that type .22 could be effective, though it will have a lower range if one is looking for distance.

It's a proper deadly bullet that enters the body and bounces around without the energy to overpenetrate. Range-wise it's somewhat better than a handgun but still within 100m or so. Distance shooting is such a specialised skill and set of circumstances that you're probably a lot more likely to need to use it within that 100m than beyond it.

Very true about range, especially any kind of urban environment, 100m is really all you need. But if things really get to a proper war or civil conflict in the US there is such massive open space that I could see long range sniping being a valuble skill, but who knows how anything is going to play out in the long term.
