29. I say show all the pictures. Show what guns really do.

Show the maimed and deformed bodies. Show the faces turned into a pink pulp, and the blood-soaked corpses.

Hollywood has romanticized the idea of getting shot. It’s not just a body with a small hole in it that looks like it’s sleeping. People have no idea how messy gunshot wounds really are.

Though the bullets are tiny, wounds left by AR-15 rounds create a mess. A lot of families won’t even be able to have an open casket. Their last memory of their loved one will be gruesome and horrible.

People need to see what these destructive devices do. Hollywood has sanitized them. I’m not for banning guns (even AR-15s), but we need to lose the romanticized view of guns that our society has.
