I have felt for a long time that only release of grisly photos of the victims will arouse public outrage to the point where something will finally be done to break the gun industry's stranglehold on America.

@TexasObserver One of the Rocky Horror call-outs is "Who's that man all dressed in green? That's not a man, it's a gay Marine". To which a corollary has been added - "Don't knock it. He's better at stopping an active shooter than the entire Uvalde police force"....
