re: #619 Interesting Times

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?

Somehow, I think the gun nuts know what a bullet can do to a human body and that is exactly why they have guns. It’s a “No one will do that to me or mine” way of thinking. The government will not infringe on MY rights.

They aren’t going to change by any carnage you present to them.
