I get your meaning, but no parent or grandparent wants to see that.

If they don’t want to see that then perhaps they might consider fighting for stronger gun laws? Just a thought...

I just sent @cameron_kasky a DM about this last week! Anyway, I had the thought while reading an op ed of a surgeon of gun shot victims. He described the damage an AR15 does and I hated that all he had were words because they are so easy to ignore.

An ar15 is a gun. The round that is fired does the damage. That same round can go in a large amount of different guns. That round is illegal in alot of states to hunt dear with because it doesn't kill quick. Very few deaths are caused by rifles.

I’m sure your loved ones will really appreciate it. Only a child still thinks of themselves after death. Think about what you want left behind that your loved ones will need to deal with.

It must have been very painful for Emmet Till's mother to see her son in an open casket and to see photos of her son shared publicly, but that spurred change and helped people see a brutal reality they would have rather ignored. And she understood that.

I know I am a random middle-aged mom from Pennsylvania & we've never met, but you have touched my life in so many ways. I admire your courage and your fierce resistance. I hope we can build a better world for your generation.
