I think the pro-gun side is convinced that there will be many more dead kids in a world without guns, so showing them pictures of actual dead kids isn't going to do much. > People in the US are too politically encamped I think politics is the wrong label for this.

There are a few, strongly developed worldviews at play here and reducing it to just politics misses the depth of the disconnect.

  Hey, could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments / name-calling / flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly (another example is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38438522 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38438522). It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. Your good comments are quite good, though, so if you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
