In reply to the discussion: Doctor shows heartless GOP Senate video of what assault rifles do when bullet explodes inside you [View all]hack89

it was not an inquiry into the shooting. It was to further the Feinstein's AWB. It was stage managed by Feinstein to inflame public opinion. And it worked - look at the OP's comments. The poster really believes that there is something special and unique about those bullets.
What is your take away from the Dr's testimony? Do you think AR-15s are uniquely lethal rifles that have no place in civilian hands?
