Jon Stewart's plea for gun control

I can safely tell you, with full certainty, when your under fire, you will A) have no idea what velocity those rounds are coming to you at, B) wont even be attempting to care about that. It will make 0 difference to you, as the target. The only thing your going to be thinking about is the gallons of adrenaline dumped into your body.

I get that but you miss the point. My chances of surviving an engagement is increased if I am shot with a hand gun vs an assault rifle. Think of it like taking a punch from Mayweather vs Tyson. Yeah, they'll both hurt but at least with Mayweather, I might survive.
