I think that giving images of the dead bodies to the media is horrendous, but I think it would change the public’s mind on gun control. Please discuss.

No, the gun owners would get off on it. That's why they own guns. Do you think Ted Cruz has an ounce of empathy in him. The only thing that would bother him is the shooting of one of his voters. Children can't vote so they don't count.

I also think that much of the gun-owning community does not want to mutilate fourth graders. Images of kids’ brains on the front page of the NYTimes would only help the gun control cause.

rlitt, I think Ted Cruz would care very much if photos of mutilated fourth graders were thrown in his face. He would whine about it on Twitter. Also, who’s to say that the two dead teachers weren’t his voters?

Teachers aren't likely to vote for him. This is a guy who took his family to Cancun when Texas's jerry rigged energy plan failed in the middle of winter.
