@mia_tretta Praying for a full and speedy recovery!

@mia_tretta Your voice is powerful and mighty! Love you!

@mia_tretta ...a .45 is heavier and travels much slower than .223/5.56... ...this is without getting into the type of ammunition used, e.g. ball ammo versus 'green tip' ammo...

@mia_tretta Thank you for using your voice for change! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@mia_tretta If the placement was the same, you’d probably have had less injuries

@mia_tretta @TiffanyShepis You are very correct and I am glad you are still here and able to fight.

@mia_tretta Not everyone who is a survivor of gun violence agrees that the tool is the problem. Personally became a victim in 1984 and transitioned to survivor in the mid to late 90's. Education, understanding and acceptance healed my non-physical wounds without mistreating anyone's rights.

@mia_tretta Are you aware of this word called diameter? Are you also aware that the AR platform does indeed come in .45?

@mia_tretta I disagree on that one. Standard nato 5.56 bullets as used in assault rifles are made to shoot clean through. Police ammo in a standard handgun is made to not penetrate, rather blow appart on impact and make huge amounts of damage. While I am with you, this argument is wrong

@mia_tretta I'm sorry you were shot but it would not have been worse for an AR-15 Here is a chart for the Entry/Exit holes for comparison

@mia_tretta Hey, @mia_tretta , I am disgusted that so many pro-shooters posting have missed the point that YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SHOT in the first place. They are arguing about “what ifs” rather than the real issue.

@mia_tretta True and very sorry for what you endured.

@mia_tretta @MatthewSpira Bless you, so sorry you had to go through this

@mia_tretta I hope you get better, but...do you not realize that .45 is a larger caliber than AR-15 rounds? Had you been show with an AR-15, you'd likely be less harmed. AR-15s also aren't "military grade weapons" (ironically, .45s are via the 1911, too...)

@mia_tretta That’s not true an AR 15 has a much higher velocity most likely you would have suffered less tissue damage. I’m so sorry to see that you where injured but don’t use your situation to lie and spread misinformation

@mia_tretta This topic is very complicated. It's about velocity vs mass and what type of tissue the bullet goes through. So, for everyone saying she is wrong-you actually can't say. It depends.

@mia_tretta That would be something if you had a clue what you're talking about.

@mia_tretta I think the issue here is that someone shot you. Nothing else matters. If they didn’t have a gun, you wouldn’t have been shot. I’m so glad you’re ok now, but this post trivializes gun violence.
