I know the grandparents of a 14 year old girl murdered in the Parkland shooting. Know them quite well in fact. Parkland high school shooting - Wikipedia

The damage done by these rounds from AR-15 type weapons is very extensive. AR-15 style rifle - Wikipedia

Many trauma physicians have written about treating these kind of wounds.

Why do semi-automatic rifles cause so much damage? - ABC7 Los Angeles

So much misleading info in those articles...

First, the watermelon test... You have no idea what calibre round they used with the handgun. If it was a sub-sonic .22, yes, it would most likely leave a small entrance/exit wlound.

If it was a 9mm or .45 defensive round that expands on impact? It would cause much more damage...

When they talk about rifles, they use a lot of "MAYS" and "COULDS"...

When they talk about children, they only mention that "rifles cause more damage in children", due to the smaller organs, less fat, etc. What they leave out is than handgunst will also have the same effect on children, for the same reasons...
