A pair of black-and-white, pro-gun billboards in Greeley, Colo., are amping up the anger in a state that recently passed gun control legislation that has Democratic lawmakers who voted for it threatened with recall elections;and gun-related businesses threatening to move out in the legislation’s wake.
The black-and-white signs feature three Native American men and read, “Turn in your arms. The government will take care of you.”
The signs reportedly were paid for by gun advocates who wished to remain anonymous, Lamar Advertising account executive Matt Wells told the Greeley Tribune on Monday.
“I think it’s a little bit extreme, of course, but I think people are really worried about their gun rights and what liberties are going to be taken away,” Wells told the Greeley Tribune.
Clearly these billboards must be stopped--they might remind people of the U.S. government's civilian disarmament of native tribes like, say, the Lakota.
ReplyDeleteMikeb, since you make no comment yourself, are we to conclude that you've learned the danger of gun control? If so, you're a bit late to the party, but we'll welcome you, anyway.
