It’s right here in this report that large caliber rounds kill better than small caliber rounds . . .
Except for the fact that the report is all common sense held together with bullshit. It classifies small caliber as .22LR through .32 ACP, medium caliber as .380 through 9mm including .38 special and large caliber is .40 up including 7.62x39. They site evidence that the medium and large calibers are more likely to kill than the small calibers.
Then they claim that if everybody had small caliber rounds that 40% less people would have died. It also provided such wisdom that regardless of caliber if people are shot in the arm or leg they are less likely to die than if shot in the upper chest or head. Those are some genius level scientific deductions right there.

The fact that people even site these kinds of reports is the exact reason that gun owners don’t trust the CDC to provide a fair and impartial report on gun violence. The CDC would simply provide a similar bullshit report that would be touted as fact by those too stupid to understand the report itself.
EDIT: And most (80% +) of the victims were involved in gangs or drugs so if you extrapolate that out to just about every major city it shows that we really don’t have much of a gun problem so much as a gang problem. That explains why many states with few large cities have a lower homicide rate than those that do.
