NEW: Families in Uvalde are having to get their DNA swabbed because the bodies of the dead children are so unrecognizable because of the military-style weaponry used by the shooter, per @AnayeliNews

What “well-regulated militia” member does this to school children?!?!

1. As callous as this might sound, this is why pictures of

those victims should be published. People need to see clearly exactly what these guns do.

[Claustrum]

4. I get what you mean.

But only if the parents give consent. I am sure some parents wouldn't want their dead child pictures to be shown on TV all the time.

[Retrograde]

5. Should be mandatory viewing

for anyone who wants to buy an assault weapon, or ammunition for one. If states can make women who want abortions watch ultrasound images of their fetuses, they should also make people who want to buy items that have no use other than killing people to look at pictures of what their phallus-extension can do to humans.

9. * should be mandatory viewing for Republicans

Fixed it for you

6. Only if the parents agree

10. You make a good point....

I am open to creative ideas to evoke change...It's not necessary for me but I am at a loss as to what would make an impact.

[Probatim]

11. IIRC, Rolling Stone or New Yorker published a story on gunshot victims who survived.

The photos were pretty graphic and were accompanied by x-rays.

[Roland99]

8. Like I saw on Twitter. If it happens to me, politicize the fuck out of it! Make news!

[IcyPeas]

12. I am just sick

[Texaswitchy]

14. Such little bodies.

Damn the asshole Governor and damn republicans.

17. Americans need immediate shock therapy.

Something so hard hitting they must face realty and wake the hell up.
