So, how about this proposal...

You know how “pro-life” people always want women to “confront the reality of their choices” by showing them ultrasounds and pictures of fetuses? Well, maybe we could make it a requirement that people buying guns be forced to watch a slideshow of the crime scene pictures from Newtown (or Aurora or any of the thousands of other gun murders per year). Maybe that would drive home the reality of the choice gun owners are making by indulging their gunfighter fantasies.

Good idea. But it would never catch on. As we all know, the Venn Diagram of the people who want the government to control women's bodies, vs the people who want more guns, is a near perfect 100% intersection.
