Well, Why the heck not? Everything else is out there. Perhaps not EVERY photo, but thats already the case. However there should be alot more info freeely available than what is. There must be literally THOUSANDS of relevant pictures of Newtown which could have been released. Almost a YEAR later & MONTHS after legislation was passed & STILL not even a report. It doesnt need to be a circus, but thats the media. In other cases though we see pictures and evidence. Are THOSE VICTIMS less worthy of protection?
What is this legislation you speak of? No New legislation was passed as a result of Newtown
I say yes! mass shootings are becoming so common that they barely break news anymore. this has been the goal of many far right gun advocates for some time, the same way generalized 'single shootings' get hardly any national attention.
perhaps its time for some Emmet Till moments in the fight for sensible gun regulation...
If you get off by looking at it, become a crime scene investigator. If you are the family of a victim, yes, then you should be able to see them .....if you want to.
So that's your rebuttal to the facts in my post you quoted??? Name calling?
Ok....
Let me give you a breakdown of them again in more simplistic form so that you have a second chance to give an intelligent an informed answer. The basic points in the post you quoted are;
1.} Mass shootings make up less then 1% of ALL crime in the United States
2.} Weapons termed as "assault rifles" are used in less then 300 of the more than 9000 homicides each year where a gun was used
I hope you do better this time.
quite simply, your mindset is still sad and pathetic!
seems as though 20 innocent 6 year olds being slaughtered is insignificant to you because such a heinous occurrence is apart of a category that 'only' represents less than 1% of all crime…

really shocking!
Well, I gave you a second chance and you blew that one as well. I'll take that as a NO, you cannot provide a valid rebuttal to the facts. More of the same out of you....
Not that big of a surprise.......

So your goal if I understand you correctly, is to use photos to elicit an emotional response, and use those emotions in an effort to further your gun control agenda
Well at least you are honest about your intentions and desire to have emotion carry the day, rather than analytical analysis and legal review prior to enacting potentially un-Constitutional legislation.
May as well post this for niedo to watch to help educate him. After all, our goal should not be to berate those with whom we disagree, rather educate them so they are better informed. Armed with facts and information allows them to modify their positions and come eventually come around.
better the obamacare back room deals be posted on Cspann......
release of shooting scenes for gang murders too? That daily dose would desensitize the audience for the rare mass shooting..........however, the images would hamper a fair trial for the perp... we can't have that!
