   Breath fairly taken away by this note at the end of Washington Post article illustrating with 3D models the destruction caused by an AR-15’s bullets.

   It’s not just theoretical. With autopsy reports and family consent, they use those 3D models to show us how Dylan Pozner (6) and Peter Wang (15) were killed. Thoughts and prayers can fuck themselves.

   If you’re up to it, I think it’s useful knowledge, and here’s a gift link: https://wapo.st/3B5O47K

     @feld It's tough because I understand why we don't. But there really is the Emmett Till principle of showing the world what monsters did to a child -- and I think many families would probably consent on that basis.
