Uvalde, Texas Pediatrician Roy Guerrero was not ready for what awaited him when he arrived at work on the morning of May 24, 2022.
But who could ever be?
“During testimony on Wednesday as lawmakers consider new legislation on gun violence, Dr. Roy Guerrero described treating children who’d been shot by an 18-year-old gunman and seeing the decapitated bodies of children who had been torn apart by bullets from an assault rifle…
… Guerrero said the AR-style rifle used in Uvalde left the killer’s victims unrecognizable.“Two children, whose bodies had been so pulverized by the bullets fired at them, over and over again, whose flesh had been so ripped apart, that the only clue as to their identities were the blood spattered cartoon clothes still clinging to them,” Guerrero said.”
I have nothing to add at this point which would equal Dr. Guerrero’s eloquence so I will let him speak for himself:

Here is the YouTube version.
Predictably Gun fetishists and NRA apologists came out fast to complain about ABC’s post.
Yes we do, lady. If Americans have to be strapped to armchairs in front of the telly with their eyes pinned open “A Clockwork Orange” fashion, they should be made to watch until gun laws are strengthened.

Why would you publicly condemn this?

And what infuriates me more – they had to sit through it for an hour. A freaking hour. I can’t fathom if terror they had to face and are still facing.

You know what is MORE graphic? TEN YEAR OLDS seeing their friends and classmates torn to shreds on the floor of the classrooms that SHOULD be safe.

It is vital that Dr. Guerrero’s words be shared and reported upon everywhere.
America should be made to understand what these weapons do to the human body, and why they should absolutely be banned for private ownership.
If you need an AR to protect yourself, you are most likely in a fight you can’t win.
No one needs an AR-15 to protect themselves. They buy them to protect their frail, fragile, failing (overwhelmingly male) egos.
McConaughey had shoes from one of the girls. They were all that could be recognized.
NOBODY but the police and Military should have these weapons, they should NEVER be sold to the public ! We have too many crazy people in this country. I think they should make everyone take a Psychological Evaluation and then have to wait at least 10 days before getting the gun .
