What I Saw Treating the Victims From Parkland Should Change the Debate on Guns
They weren’t the first mass-shooting victims the Florida radiologist saw—but their wounds were radically different.
Routine handgun injuries leave entry and exit wounds and linear tracks through the victim’s body that are roughly the size of the bullet. If the bullet does not directly hit something crucial like the heart or the aorta, and the victim does not bleed to death before being transported to our care at the trauma center, chances are that we can save him. The bullets fired by an AR-15 are different: They travel at a higher velocity and are far more lethal than routine bullets fired from a handgun. The damage they cause is a function of the energy they impart as they pass through the body. A typical AR-15 bullet leaves the barrel traveling almost three times faster than—and imparting more than three times the energy of—a typical 9mm bullet from a handgun. An AR-15 rifle outfitted with a magazine with 50 rounds allows many more lethal bullets to be delivered quickly without reloading.
I have seen a handful of AR-15 injuries in my career. Years ago I saw one from a man shot in the back by a SWAT team. The injury along the path of the bullet from an AR-15 is vastly different from a low-velocity handgun injury. The bullet from an AR-15 passes through the body like a cigarette boat traveling at maximum speed through a tiny canal. The tissue next to the bullet is elastic—moving away from the bullet like waves of water displaced by the boat—and then returns and settles back. This process is called cavitation; it leaves the displaced tissue damaged or killed. The high-velocity bullet causes a swath of tissue damage that extends several inches from its path. It does not have to actually hit an artery to damage it and cause catastrophic bleeding. Exit wounds can be the size of an orange.
With an AR-15, the shooter does not have to be particularly accurate. The victim does not have to be unlucky. If a victim takes a direct hit to the liver from an AR-15, the damage is far graver than that of a simple handgun-shot injury. Handgun injuries to the liver are generally survivable unless the bullet hits the main blood supply to the liver. An AR-15 bullet wound to the middle of the liver would cause so much bleeding that the patient would likely never make it to the trauma center to receive our care.

You don't know what you are talking about....all rifles are high velocity you moron.......Reagan was wrong and acted on emotion....the creator was wrong and the AR-15 is currently the most popular American rifle........over 18 million of them in private hands......and used in 2017 for less than 403 gun murders.....knives killed over 1,500 people in the same year......clubs killed more than those rifles, as did bare hands.....cars killed over 38,000 people....
18 million rifles
less than 403 gun murders
in a country of over 320,000,000
knives murdered 1,562
cars killed over 38,000

Nary a clue in his head.
Family of AR-15 Inventor Eugene Stoner: He Didn't Intend It for Civilians
The AR-15 is the most talked about gun in America.
But the AR-15’s creator died before the weapon became a popular hit and his family has never spoken out.
Until now.
"Our father, Eugene Stoner, designed the AR-15 and subsequent M-16 as a military weapon to give our soldiers an advantage over the AK-47,” the Stoner family told NBC News late Wednesday. "He died long before any mass shootings occurred. But, we do think he would have been horrified and sickened as anyone, if not more by these events."
[...]
The ex-Marine and "avid sportsman, hunter and skeet shooter" never used his invention for sport. He also never kept it around the house for personal defense. In fact, he never even owned one.
And though he made millions from the design, his family said it was all from military sales.
"After many conversations with him, we feel his intent was that he designed it as a military rifle," his family said, explaining that Stoner was "focused on making the most efficient and superior rifle possible for the military."
He designed the original AR-15 in the late 1950s, working on it in his own garage and later as the chief designer for ArmaLite, a then small company in southern California. He made it light and powerful and he fashioned a new bullet for it — a .223 caliber round capable of piercing a metal helmet at 500 yards.
The Army loved it and renamed it the M16.
But after Stoner’s death in 1997, at the age of 74, a semi-automatic version of the AR-15 became a civilian bestseller, too, spawning dozens of copy-cat weapons. The National Rifle Association has taken to calling it “America’s rifle.”
The bullets that tore through the Pulse nightclub in Orlando were Stoner’s .223 rounds, fired from a AR-15 spin off made by Sig Sauer.

The bullets that tore through the Pulse nightclub in Orlando were Stoner’s .223 rounds, fired from a AR-15 spin off made by Sig Sauer.
In all, an AR-15 style rifle has been used in at least 10 recent mass shootings — including at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, and a work party in San Bernardino, California.
"What has happened, good or bad, since his patents have expired is a result of our free market system," Stoner’s family said. “Currently, a more interesting question is ‘Who now is benefiting from the manufacturing and sales of AR-15s, and for what uses?'"

He made it light and powerful and he fashioned a new bullet for it — a .223 caliber round capable of piercing a metal helmet at 500 yards.
The Army loved it and renamed it the M16.
But after Stoner’s death in 1997, at the age of 74, a semi-automatic version of the AR-15 became a civilian bestseller, too, spawning dozens of copy-cat weapons. The National Rifle Association has taken to calling it “America’s rifle.”
The bullets that tore through the Pulse nightclub in Orlando were Stoner’s .223 rounds, fired from a AR-15 spin off made by Sig Sauer.

In all, an AR-15 style rifle has been used in at least 10 recent mass shootings — including at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, and a work party in San Bernardino, California.
"What has happened, good or bad, since his patents have expired is a result of our free market system," Stoner’s family said. “Currently, a more interesting question is ‘Who now is benefiting from the manufacturing and sales of AR-15s, and for what uses?'"

The Pulse nightclub shooter had a piss poor kill ratio given the length of time and the amount of targets.
He would have done a whole lot better with a couple of Glocks.
You sure that's not the hole in your head?This is real folks and is an actual picture from an errant AR15 round fired into the air by a right wing racist Trumplian racist white supremacist hater, not a picture of Hussein Obama's booty after a night at the bath house.

You actually need a video to tell you bullets penetrate things? No wonder there is such a big hole in the OP. Thanks.
noooooooooooo..... i don't.... but you might. an AR15 is high velocity & is not a weapon for hunting, except humans. ronny reagan banned them AND the creator of that rifle even said that civilians shouldn't own one. btw, douche-no one wants to take away your 2nd amendment rights & i have firearms in my home.
You don't know what you are talking about....all rifles are high velocity you moron.......Reagan was wrong and acted on emotion....the creator was wrong and the AR-15 is currently the most popular American rifle........over 18 million of them in private hands......and used in 2017 for less than 403 gun murders.....knives killed over 1,500 people in the same year......clubs killed more than those rifles, as did bare hands.....cars killed over 38,000 people....
18 million rifles
less than 403 gun murders
in a country of over 320,000,000
knives murdered 1,562
cars killed over 38,000
Do you see why we don't take you seriously in this discussion?
blah balh fucking blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....................
a gun was exclusively designed to do only one thing.
kill.
Family of AR-15 Inventor Eugene Stoner: He Didn't Intend It for Civilians
The AR-15 is the most talked about gun in America.
But the AR-15’s creator died before the weapon became a popular hit and his family has never spoken out.
Until now.
"Our father, Eugene Stoner, designed the AR-15 and subsequent M-16 as a military weapon to give our soldiers an advantage over the AK-47,” the Stoner family told NBC News late Wednesday. "He died long before any mass shootings occurred. But, we do think he would have been horrified and sickened as anyone, if not more by these events."
[...]
The ex-Marine and "avid sportsman, hunter and skeet shooter" never used his invention for sport. He also never kept it around the house for personal defense. In fact, he never even owned one.
And though he made millions from the design, his family said it was all from military sales.
"After many conversations with him, we feel his intent was that he designed it as a military rifle," his family said, explaining that Stoner was "focused on making the most efficient and superior rifle possible for the military."

And here they give it away.....
After many conversations with him, we feel his intent
So.......feelings from likely left wing asshat children...
And considering there are around 18 million of these rifles in private hands.....and less than 403 were used illegally for murder in 2017......
again.....following your logic, cars were used to kill over 38,000 people, we must now ban cars...right?
As usual your response makes no sense.So Texass is now in Guatemala?This is real folks and is an actual picture from an errant AR15 round fired into the air by a right wing racist Trumplian racist white supremacist hater, not a picture of Hussein Obama's booty after a night at the bath house.
