I read this in my head as an angry New Yorker.

That’s not at all what it’s specifying. It says “don’t carry a handgun with a caliber lower than .40”

It’s pro-45ACP / anti-9mm boomer gun shit. I have no clue where you’re getting this “smaller means rifle” from the image posted. Like yeah, typically smaller means rifle, but that’s not at all what the image says.
