Gun Control III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, . . .
What can be done about changing the gun violence in america?
There are 74 million tRump supporters. Almost all are impervious to words and facts, and will quickly double-down on their false and immoral beliefs and assertions. Most of them have repeatedly shown they LOVE their guns, more than their own children.
None-the-less, I posted here Message 1, that SHOWING voters the consequences of their voting actions IS helpful.
Some examples:
1. U.S. Army’s films of the liberations of concentration camps in  Poland and Germany — bulldozers pushing the bodies of emaciated bodies into mass graves — left only the most sociopathic to deny the truth.
2. The traumatic photos displayed every night on the news and media of america’s illegal and immoral actions in Vietnam caused the public to react against the war, and helped to end the war sooner than later.
3. The Emmett Till photos effectively brought the Civil Rights movement to the forefront of america. NOT SAFE FOR WORK: Musings for Friday - Maybe We Should Follow Mamie Till's Example
Unfortunately, the american government learned its lesson not to show such photos during the gulf wars. The mutilated woman and children illegally and immorally hit by american weapons in hospitals or wedding parties were never shown in the media. Showing american troops in the unending coffins was also forbidden. The illegal and immoral government actions have been sanitized, safely hidden from public view, leaving americans to joyfully go on with their now untouched lives shopping, as Bush Jr advised.
However, while most tRump supporters/gun-lovers will never change their minds, a few may be swayed by photos of the murdered children. Hopefully enough to change america’s nighmarish political landscape.
When I was a grand jurist for 20 months I didn’t want to see any awful photos. But guess what, the photos that were exhibited did persuade. I don’t ever want to see photos of the recent massacres, but I read the children’s bodies were horribly mutilated by the AR-15 bullets, and needed to be identified by DNA.
I do wish every mayor, governor, senator, and president, and american voter who resist changing the gun laws are FORCED to view those photos . . .
I don’t need to view the photos. I assure you, I’m already quite sick of this.
(Trump, Senator Ted Cruze, and Texas Gov Abbott will be speaking at the Nat Rifle assoc convention this weekend. Guns will be banned during Donald Trump's speech at the NRA conference)
