NOTE: I’m not suggesting that the media is to be blamed for the recent assault-weapon-related massacres in the US. After all, the posters below are also seen in other countries, without the same bloody results.
What I *am* saying is that we’ve got mentally ill people out there, running free, and exposed to (arguably nothing else than?) this material on every street corner. Remember, people are sheep, and mimic what they see in the media. It’s why we now have a country full of kids sporting handlebar mustaches, monocles, and mustard skinny jeans.
That said, the idea of making the weapons seen in these posters legally available for purchase is only asking for trouble. Hell, if you slap a billboard up on a skyscraper with Justin Bieber striking a pose, while keeping custom haircuts readily available to anybody with twenty dollars, then DON’T BE SURPRISED WHEN MILLIONS OF KIDS TO GO OUT AND GET THE SAME HAIRCUT.
