re: #165 Old Liberal

I contend that if pictures of the carnage were shown the horror would overcome the asshole NRA. Who can forget the photo of the fireman carrying little Bayley’s dead body in his arms after the OKC bombing? People cry privacy but I think that was an idea promulgated by those who simply want to hide the horror. Bush wouldn’t allow caskets to be filmed out of “respect”. Bullshit it was to sanitize and propagandize. Until people see the actual horror it’s an abstract idea. I remember how MADD brought smashed bloody cars to show what drunk drivers destroy.

It’s a controversial idea, but I agree with it.

If people could’ve seen the true horror of the Sandy Hook Massacre, the crime scene photos, attitudes might change. Horrific, to be sure, but when people can see the actual consequences, they demand action be taken.

Also, it would shut the conspiracy theorists right the fuck up.
