Effective Bullet

We pulled this bullet from the chest of a dead teen, during a resuscitation, shot during an apparent gang battle over drug money.
Eerily, it was hardly deformed when recovered...
a highly effective instrument of death.

He is one of many such victims we see almost every day.

While the elite continue to prosper more and more, rolling gun battles rage on over illegal drugs, poverty, and hopelessness.
Something about our society, our laws and our priorities is clearly not working.

Powerful and moving image. I'd also like to note that gang violence has nothing to do with the second amendment. How effective have the drug laws been at reducing drug use? Excessive firearm control is the same trap. Guns/knives/rocks will find their ways into the hands of criminals until we attack the root of the problem: our pathetic under-budgeted educational system. For a free society to survive, the right to bear arms must survive...

This is so chilling and really brings home the reality of the use of arms.
More people should see it.

Sadly, people hide behind our "Right to bare arms" despite the good that could come from the changing of laws... thank you for the back story of this image.
