This would only add to the families grief. Not willing to do it. If the families want to share autopsy photos with lawmakers, thats their call. But as you said, it probably wont have much effect with any audience.
Ive just about given up on this country. Assault rifles just need to be BANNED, like they are in other, more civilized places.

I say amen to that, they need to be. People need to know what these weapons do when some punk decides to hunt humans.
Maybe some day cops or EMTs who are brave enough will photograph one of these crime scenes, obscuring intact faces OK, and get it out there before howling, gun loving "Christians" get it censored.
I remember my parents trying to "protect" me from seeing the picture of Emmett Till after his incredibly brave mother insisted on an open coffin and photographers were there. I just hoofed it over to the library and looked at it. We were about the same age and I couldn't believe anyone would do that to a kid. It made me angry, but it was a good kind of angry, it was against bigotry, bullying, the kind of arrogance that focused on skin color as a mark of worth.

(67,112 posts)some serious untreated mental health issues. At minimal, there are a lot of delusional people, but many exhibit other problems very distinctively. I'm not a coward and I really fear where the US is headed. Just thinking of the damage Trump did ... and imagining him returning or others winning the presidential election (and other elections) that are far worse. The US is very sick and it's spreading. It begins to sound like hyperbole, but clearly it is not.

(13,776 posts)Those simple, declarative, truculent, confidently ignorant statements on Facebook about--well, everything--whip up the simple-minded. I would never have thought that so many people would so easily join a cult. Not only a cult of Trumpism but of just plain MEANNESS.

(5,104 posts)However, if one--or many--could deal with the pain of an open casket and the release of photographs of what was done to their child--in the same fashion that Mamie Till-Mobley did back in 1955--it might change the future.
