RAND Corporation Senior Political Scientist and former U.S. Marine Dr. Kyleanne Hunter testifies during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about the Highland Park, Illinois, mass shooting and civilian access to military-style assault weapons in the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill on July 20, 2022 in Washington, DC.Did you notice?

How could a gunshot wound have caused this much damage?
