> People in the US are too politically encamped for pictures of dead kids to move the needle on gun rights at this point. One thing I notice is how quick people are to ascribe malevolence to those on the right. Meanwhile, leftist prosecutors and DAs who make it a policy point of their election to not prosecute crimes or to not protest paroles, or leftist governors who say they are going to release prisoners and then do, never face any accusations of malevolence, when those same people go on to kill. To use my own city of Portland as an example, we've had multiple instances of children being killed or endangered by people released with violent tendencies or let out without bail. We've had several incidents of gun crime committed by people just released from jail. Yet, when you point out that the right-wing pro-gun crowd is not the ones at fault in Oregon, since we have copious gun laws, and the main issue seems to be the left-wing that has held power in our cities and state for decades at this point, everyone immediately starts group therapy in which they re-assure themselves that the elected official's hearts were really in the right place, despite all evidence to the contrary.
