SHOW THE FUCKING FOOTAGE OF THE MURDERED!!

25. GOP politicians, especially those holding and/or running for seats in Congress, need to see

pictures of this carnage. Force them to look, if that's what it takes. But I don't need to see them. I couldn't be more in favor of gun control than I already am.

I also don't want to see them. Sorry, I just don't. I don't want to see blood and gore and mangled bodies, period, because of the way I react, especially if I'm taken by surprise by something like that. It's a completely involuntary reaction, not quite a full blown panic attack, but akin to that. For that reason, I try to avoid looking at anything gory unless it's absolutely unavoidable. Even fake stuff is a problem; I have to be very selective about which movies I see, for example. I just can't deal with it.

So while I like the idea of certain people being forced to confront the evidence of what their shitty policies have wrought, I don't think everyone should have to. But I don't know of any fair way to make the former happen without the risk of inflicting collateral damage on people like myself, and I'd rather not risk that.

Maybe it's just me, I don't know. But that's how I feel about it.
