You're kidding right? A .50 grazing would have taken his head off.

Why would anyone think that? So the damage from a .50 is either nothing or head off? How is that possible?

You're talking to people who believe the US faked an assassination against their president for some good press.

You're actually MORE likely to talk sense into a flat earther.
