Want results? Want real reaction that might matter? Show the dead mangled bodies.

[Funtatlaguy]

Otherwise, it's just another THOUGHT AND PRAYERS, candlelight vigil event.
Show the real video.
Not just the sound of the gun shots.
Show the ACTUAL results of the gun shots.

That might at least wake up a few to what our lack of gun legislation yields.
Otherwise, it will be the same old rhetoric. Nothing new. No changes.
Just more death 💀, the next time .

1. The Media?

NEVER Happen. In fact, NEVER EVER EVER. The media is too "sensitive" to do something so bold.

People might actually become awake were that to happen, so don't count on it.

Thoughts & Prayers is FAR FAR easier.

[Hoyt]

2. Won't make a difference. It's the price gunners except us to pay so they can have their guns.

[MindPilot]

3. you know the last time they did that

a war ended.


the media won't make that mistake again.

[HipChick]

4. When I'm overseas...the local media

shows actual results...does not wrap it up in PC stuff.. brings it home

[BigmanPigman]

5. Before Wolf Blitzer, CNN, started his show they ran a "this may contain violent

images so...." announcement. What BS!

[underthematrix]

6. Don't watch and encourage other countries to

issue WARNING against any and all travel to the US

[LuckyCharms]

17. +1 n/t

[Leghorn21]

7. 100% agree, guy - I had the same thought a few minutes ago. Show the brains exploded on the

pavement and half of somebody’s arm blown off and people’s faces obliterated, and get in there with really tight closeups.

Without some reality, it’s just, like, a video game, or cinematic special effects in our minds...and we feel bad and sorrowful and promptly move on.

-sigh- and
-goddamit

8. I agree. People do need to see the carnage. Otherwise its just cartoonish and distant.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

9. I absolutely agree, and I've been saying this since Sandy Hook.

People have no clue just what bullets can do to a body.

[Jamastiene]

10. I hate to disagree, because I understand where you are coming from, but

a lot of the people who are against gun control are dead inside. They refused to do anything after Sandy Hook. If they would not do the right thing after 5 and 6 year old kids were gunned down in school, nothing else is ever going to change their minds. Nothing is ever going to change. Seeing the photos or videos would not phase them.

I think a majority of Americans are so desensitized to violence and death that it wouldn't make a difference to most people to see the bodies. That is the sad part. There is a void where their emotions and compassion are supposed to be.

[Funtatlaguy]

12. It won't change a majority of NRA 2nd Amendment total freedom to

Have any an all types of killing machines and machinery.
But, it will change a few and get a few fence sitters on this issue to move.
Much more than mere candlelight vigils do.

The battle needs to be taken to the tv networks and the FCC to fight fir this.
Fight for what the real definition of Obscenity and Graphic Material should be.

[Jamastiene]

15. Yeah, the candlelight vigils may be comforting for people, but

they do nothing to change course.

I rarely watch TV, but I overheard my aunt's TV this morning and Gayle King was asking what can we do to make hotels safer. Scanning, metal detectors, etc. I somehow was not surprised the talking heads were actively and vehemently ignoring the elephant in the room and instead trying to drum up support for more "security" that won't stop gun violence, but instead will just hassle everyone entering or leaving a hotel.

It will be an uphill battle to take it to the TV Networks. They are so insulated from regular everyday people and they are extremely rigid in sticking to the topics they are told to discuss. I wonder if there is a way to look up the use of the word, "pivot" by the major news networks before Trump. They have overused that word so much just since he has entered the White House. After his first speech to Congress, every single one of them used the word, "pivot," repeatedly. It was like all of them were reading the same script and it felt like propaganda. How could we go about getting them to break from the script they all seem to use? Talk to the network heads and find their price to let real journalism and the truth to come through? I wonder if that would work.

[Funtatlaguy]

16. Picket them. Hold placards at Thirty Rock

And all of the Network headquarters.
Also, bombard their web sites, twitter, face book, emails, phone lines..

Ask them to tell and show the real damage that assault rifles do to a human body.

[flor-de-jasmim]

11. Make "What bullets do to bodies" required viewing before gun purchase allowed.

Perhaps in a room where eye-tracking devices monitor whether the potential buyer is getting sadistic pleasure from the experience.

[milestogo]

13. Interview the medical staff about what a high velocity weapon does to the human body.

[aikoaiko]

14. Or people might decide to arm up because of those pictures.

One never knows how Americans will react to carnage. There was a big surge in gun sales after 9/11, for example.

[Texasgal]

18. I don't need to see gore to understand the

brevity of this situation.

I get it and most others do as well.
