The author here, Heather Sher, is a radiologist with trauma experience. Her point is that AR-15 weapons use high velocity bullets whose impact causes extraordinary damage when compared other weapons. AR-15 weapons with large magazines can inflict enormous damage. She argues that the ban on assault weapons should be reinstated (it did mitigate shootings) and that the ban on studying gun violence as a health issue should be rescinded. Small asks in the light of the trauma she observes they have caused. I agree, but I think we need to go further. As for Slansitartop somewhat snarky comment, I agree that we should consider banning SWAT teams use of AR-15 assault rifles. In fact, I believe we should disarm police in general and only allow the use of weapons in special circumstances.
