I was reminded today of this piece from a few years ago: Guns With History

From the group Prevent Gun violence.



And more recently, they put out this one that shows people the real results of gun violence **Warning - graphic content**

Warning. This is one of the actual cellphone videos capturing a live massacre. Now put yourself in their place, unarmed and at the mercy of a killer with magazine after magazine of AR-15 rounds.

It is because I am afraid that watching it will desensitize me to all of the hurt and pain that gun violence brings on. I am not here to ignore any of it.

It's your choice, but you owe it to yourself if you ever want to know what these kids are being subjected to.

as the way we allow our fellow citizens and even kids to get gunned down.

Please VOTE in November against the gun.

We are preached at about the 2nd Amendment

Time and time again we see weapons being carried around by well meaning people

Time and time again some of these well meaning people snap and we end up with a tragedy

Time and time again we perpetuate a "slow Holocaust" as we fill up our cemeteries with people that died before their time

Time and time again we have to move on to the next tragedy
