What an AR does to the body...

It is an animated depiction of how bullets kill children.

Read it if you can stomach it. Both for the violence, the contrasting statements and the overt anti-gun sentiments.

And then read the comment section.

It looks like this article is outside the paywall so everyone can access it.

I won't go past the opening page simply because it's obvious someone has an agenda. Heavens forbid if they discover that pretty much all rifle bullets have the same affect, even if they are fired from anything other than an AR...They can attach the AR for all they want, the fact is even if tomrrow they were able to confiscate every AR known to man in the U.S.A, it wouldn't stop the mass shootings, or any shootings. Unfortunately, their hate for the AR won't allow them to think logically, even for a second. The AR is simply a tool, one of many different tools that can do great harm to humans in the hands of a sicko.

When I saw the 'mushroom' of an AR projectile in the animation I lost interest.

They wouldn't know how to process what a 10 ga rifled slug can do to a terminal target.

I did find it interesting that they focused on velocity rather than energy. Do you think that’s just a dumb it down?

It would appear they have turned comments off.

Interesting approach but as has been stated, only published to drive the agenda.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

Nashville shooter used a KelTec 2000 9mm carbine and a S&W M&P 9mm pistol.

Nope.

Good catch. One of the reasons I posted the link.

Watch for the shift in reporting from ARs being "high power(ed) rifles" to "high velocity" rifles.

Another good catch.

Later in the article, as they profiled the death of children, the animations of the victims showed the 5.56 bullets fragmenting.

Does the evil AR shoot a tumbling mushroom, or a fragmenting bullet?

[TRnCO]

could be either, depending on which bullet we're talking about.
