Warning! Graphic CT scan (X-Ray) pictures of what it looks like to get shot in the head with an AR15

I hope this isn't too much. Many people say we should see the results of these shootings. These pictures are might be enough.

1. Yep. That shooter really protected himself from government tyranny.

2. Need to have this blown-up on a large display

and shown in Congress as they debate(if ever) gun control - Hell, the Repukes show aborted fetuses during anti-abortion hearing.

3. That is...not a CT scan.

4. Looks like a 3d computer model

Also, that damage isn't unique to AR15's. All rifles have devastating effects on the human body. I've seen firsthand the end result of a headshot from a USMC DMR(basically a M14 that some of you older vets might be familiar with), which is shoots the equivalent to a .308, a popular hunting cartridge. There wasn't much of a recognizable head left. It looked more like a vaguely U shaped cantaloupe. The danger of the AR15 isn't specifically the lethality of the bullets it fires, its the combination of the rate of fire, magazine capacity, ease of use, and widespread availability, as well as the fact that it's a rifle and shoots rifle rounds.

5. CT was my profession for many years... This image is a 3d reconstruction of a CT scan..

This is what a normal CT 3d head/face look like..
The 5.56 bullet does a huge amount of damage.

6. this seems like a good compromise between showing what a gun does and victims' privacy

I know that (because I can't let my mind go to what it's really like) when I imagine a school shooting, I imagine a movie. Pew pew pew pew pew... people drop and die instantly and quietly, each with a single, tiny entrance wound (and we never see the exit wound).

I don't imagine the screaming, I don't imagine the bleeding out, I don't imagine the sobs slowly fading to silence... and I definitely don't, I can't, imagine the shattering of bones. I suspect that a lot of people who think school shootings are the price of gun "rights" don't imagine those things either, unless they're literally psychopaths (and I'm sure many are).

Pictures like these are a way to make the damage real without making people turn away.
