I for one am tired of the emotional outrage. It will not lead to lives saved. We have to put aside the emotions and use the thinking part of of brains if we are going we want to prevent more suicidal rampages.

I see no evidence of that whatsoever from the NRA nor the republicans they own. As for “putting emotions aside”, should we also prevent the viewing of flag-draped coffins lest it make people just a little squeamish about war? How about stopping cops from displaying wrecked cars in order to illustrate the dangers of driving drunk?

If you want the “thinking” part of your brain to be effective, it needs accurate information about real consequences.

There’s nothing intrinsically “emotional” about a bullet blowing apart a realistic human dummy. But if that’s what it takes for people to understand what a gun objectively does to a human body, so be it.

How else are they going to see guns as something capable of killing human beings instead of a “man card” toy/penis compensation device?
