As Twitchy reported, the House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on gun violence Wednesday, and firearms experts like Rep. Jerry Nadler are filling us in about “ancient guns” like the M1 Garand and SKS. You might recall back in May when President Joe Biden informed us that “there’s simply no rational basis for” defending yourself with a 9mm handgun that can blow a lung out of a body. And if a 9mm handgun can blow a lung out of a body, imagine what an assault rifle like an AR-15 could do. Rep. Lucy McBath told the hearing just how powerful this skull-exploding weapon is.
With assault rifles, exit wounds can be a foot wide. The victim’s skull explodes on impact. Organs rupture, bones shatter, the shards serve as shrapnel and tear tissue to pieces.
There is a reason we never see the images after a mass murder—many of the bodies no longer exist. pic.twitter.com/DbmJ1mdddI

Where do find the ammo to do this kind of damage?! Asking for myself.

A foot is 304 mm.
An AR round is 5.56 mm.
That's a 5367% increase
The only thing that can expand that much, that quickly, in complete disregard of natural law is a politician's bank account. https://t.co/4ICkmUiONJ

The flat out lies being told today in the house have been amazing. Of course the media won't confront them https://t.co/vlVpqwqrfa

This is propaganda. None of these claims are true. People who lie should not be allowed to hold public office, let alone legislate. https://t.co/N5zVUvrsQS

Handguns create "small, subtle wounds"!
LMAO

Holy shit, I had no idea that .223 round (.003 g larger than a squirrel killing .22 round) could leave 12 inch exit wounds. What am I doing wrong?

Meanwhile, one can simply go on Youtube and watch endless hours of ballistic tests using various types of rounds and targets that prove everything you said completely wrong.

There's no need to blatantly lie about the exit wound from an assault rifle. If you can't make your case without using obvious and easily refutable lies then you didn't have much of a case to begin with.

The Grand Canyon was built in 1962 when the United States Army test fired the first AR-15
It was deemed suitable for their needs and they adopted it as the basic service rifle for all soldiers https://t.co/Vf3LhNNwwn

You stopped short of having them rupture space-time, and the claim wouldn’t have been that much more ridiculous.

The bodies no longer exist…
Hmmm

This has to break a record for the amount of incorrect takes in a single tweet. I count 7 errors if you include the topic being Assault Weapon. My favorite one is the last one which suggests she wants to ban complete body vaporizers in handheld form. https://t.co/MSFbggp85i

Dear Lord, the number of falsehoods in this statement threatens the very fabric of reality.
But, let's grant the premise that somehow, the laws of physics can be put aside and this is true.
So what?
You don't shoot someone to tickle them. https://t.co/EwhBgVzmz5

Holy shit it's a real tweet 😂😂😂

Remember President Biden’s advice: Buy a shotgun (he personally owns somewhere between two and five), and train police to shoot suspects in the leg. Shotguns don’t leave nasty exit wounds like assault rifles.
