Perhaps we should steal a play from the conservative playbook.

I worked at a major university. About every four months the anti-abortion crowd would set up in the "free speech" common area on campus with giant photos of aborted fetuses for the shock value of the "murdered children." Perhaps we should use the same tack by demonstrating at conservative venues with autopsy photos of gunned down children. Before and after photos. Make them view the fruits of their labors. I know that it is morbid and disgusting, but perhaps we need some shock to wake people up.

"a pile of unrecognizable raw meat."

An ER nurse I know who retired, described that to me after victims of a shooting were brought in years ago.

Something of that nature will leave many with these images of what were once little children. Some will be moved. The heartless will still cling to their guns.

yet gun dealers are protected by the government. We are a nation of contradictions.
