The man in the picture is Jared Loughner, the assailant in Tuscon, AZ that gunned down over 19 people, killing 6 in the process. Among those shot was Representative Gabby Giffords.
What I like about the picture is the mood it sets, and the message it relays.
It puts you in front of the barrel of a gun of a crazed gunman, insinuating that one day, you might be next.
The text, "A disturbed mind behind the gun = the inevitable" is stating that with the way things are - and by things I mean gun regulations/laws - rampages from mentally insane individuals who have or have gained access to firearms is inevitable.It is saying that another Tuscon is possible, and it has been for years prior.
The Virginia Tech Massacre, the Columbine High School massacre, the Fort Hood shooting, and many others in past and future like them are inevitable if we keep our gun regulation laws the same.
Now, I'm one that supports our constitutional rights, but sometimes we have to step aside just a little bit (changing gun regulation laws) to prevent things like this for the good of all Americans.
