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

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.
