In January 2011, Rhee became the subject of national media attention as the attending trauma physician for U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords, who had been shot in the head near Tucson.[12][13] Rhee was out jogging at the time of the shooting and had to rush three miles home and go to the hospital.[1] Rhee also held press conferences to update the public on her condition.[12] Upon observing that Giffords was still able to squeeze a doctor's hand, which most gunshot victims are unable to do, he became confident of her chances.[1] Rhee remarked, "She has a 101 percent chance of surviving. She will not die."[14]

On January 12, 2011, Rhee was met with cheers as he arrived at the McKale Center, while still dressed in scrubs and a white coat from the medical center, for a memorial speech by U.S. President Barack Obama.[15] Rhee was also invited to sit with First Lady Michelle Obama during a joint session of the United States Congress for the 2011 State of the Union Address on January 25.[16]

Problem is, at least the way I read the tweet, is they mean a round from an ar15 could decapitate a head from a body. It's the slimmest of possibilities.

The other way to read the tweet would be that, given enough rounds, an ar 15 could decapitate a person. Of course that is more likely to be true, but would also be true of every other firearm.

"Diaz did not describe the scene in detail. Instead, he said, "It's something you never want to see and it's something you don't, you cannot, prepare for. It's a picture that's going to stay in my head forever, and that's where I'd like for it to stay."

Then why give NPR all these quotes and images of what you saw?

It is sick what some people will do to get their 15 minutes of fame.

I posted this on the why do you need an ar15 thread but think it needs its own discussion.

Npr tweeted this yesterday:

The AR-15 is designed to blow targets apart. Its bullets travel with such velocity that they can decapitate an adult.

Unfortunately, this Uvalde coroner has now seen first-hand what the weapon can do to children.https://t.co/LjxAps68UP

1. This is what we're up against. This blatant falsehood will be accepted as fact. It's being pushed by one of the most influential news orgs in the USA. You can bet your bottom dollar this fake news will be used to promote the banning/confiscation of such rifles.

2. We pay for this ****

Every time POTUS/ Beto talk gun control, i buy another.
So do all of my friends.

They aren't confiscating anything.

The biggest problem with this, is that they are pushing up prices again, when they finally appeared to be stabilizing.
