Photos of slaughtered Texas school children wouldn't change any minds on AR-15s
It’s why Republican politicians try to make gun violence about everything other than guns and hold dear to the child-like notion that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. To consider the central role of firearms in gun violence would, in effect, give up the game.
In 2015 news organizations ran a heartbreaking picture of a 3-year Syrian boy washed up on a beach in Turkey. Did it shift public opinion in the United States on welcoming Syrian refugees to this country? Did images of crying infants being separated from their parents or children being held in cages along the U.S. border with Mexico shift the public debate in the United States on Trump’s highly restrictive immigration policies? Not among Republican voters and certainly not among those in the White House.Making public the pictures of the children slaughtered at Uvalde’s Robb Elementary School would likely do little to change minds or seriously reshape the debate about guns in America.
