blam, blam, blam to them all...except innocent bystanders and non-threatening beasts. too good an argument against the 2nd, the tragedy that inspired this piece. I love my Judge, though. Blam.

(this in no way represents a threat to anyone or anything except zombie targets at the range, my right to bear arms is purely because I was raised on the range--knowledge and familiarity being the better part of safe use and responsibility. this hand cannon is better than a shake weight, or so I've got to believe having never used a shake weight while on my knees, arching my back like in the video I don't know comes with it. I live on a farm with fertilizer.)

(The previous sentence is in no way a threat against anyone ever. Although I've been told that in a hoodie and raybans I look exactly like the una8omber)

Oh shepard

I know Shep's kind of all over the place but sometimes his composition seems to be coming from completely different artists. One retarded, the other, not retarded.
This is an awkward looking poster for sure. Why not looking down the barrel or something? Make a nice blank circle to fill with a Giant logo and the quote going around it. *shrug* It ain't bad, just awkward.

I do not hate the print but also not in love w/ it

My problem is that I think a portion of this should go to charity

Shep always out to make the quick dollar=machine

Agreed. He is co-opting messages now. The tea-bagger in Nevada talked about 2nd amendment remedies. Now, Shep is spinning it. Money should go to support gun control. Gun shows should do background checks and nobody should be able to get a 30 round clip except a soldier! Isn't that common sense?

So does the image of a huge gun mean he is for or against? :)

I little bit more creative please...

Should I be able to carry around a silencer on my .22 ??

It would not matter how many rounds a clip could hold if you could not hear it. People kill People.

Like it.
Right wing nutjobs like Sharron Angle & Sarah Palin have been referring to "2nd Amendment solutions"- armed insurrection as a recourse if they fail at the ballot box.

Also the origins of the quote are from Northern Ireland:
It's not the bullet with my name on it that worries me. It's the one that says "To whom it may concern."
Anonymous Belfast Resident.

quoted in Guardian (London, Oct. 16, 1991).

You also need to protect that snazzy bag you have there.
