Huh. My dear daughter has officially warped my mind. My first thought was "Oooh, that dress is so cute. I wonder where she got it?" (She's 18 mo. so it might not be the right size... ;) )
 
I don't know...I think the message is a good one but that bayonet makes me very uncomfortable. I feel that it makes the gun and therefore the little girl holding it look a little too sinister. Not to mention that bayo looks totally out of place on an AR.

At least for me, the sight of a bayonet affixed to a rifle brings to my mind the worst kind of fighting; the desperate, dirty hand-to-hand life-over-death kind of fighting that is very up-close and personal. I really don't think we should be sending the message that young girls should be engaging in that kind of fighting. Some may disagree, but I think it is a little too militant for a young girl. If the model were a grown woman, that would be different.


I would suggest reworking it without the bayo. Just my .02.
 
I am enjoying the serious message and the utterly ridiculous image. I think it is a great poster. Pink furniture and an enormous bayo...I'm rolling!

Lose the extra space between "for" & "more" and change the "Gun Control makes only predators safer." to: "Gun Control only makes predators safer."

Very nifty concept though - I like it!!
 
Re: little girl with big bayonet...

...it seems to me that while little girls shouldn't have to engage in that worst kind of combat, they may, on the very personal level, at some point be obligated to fight... fight dirty to win... to save their own lives or the lives of related people. Goblins don't seem to mind preying on little girls any more than they mind preying on the rest of the population. So the reverse, that little girls need to know how to defend their lives in the absense of adult "good guys", is also true. If it requires a rifle, so be it. If it requires that big pigsticker, so be it. If it were my daughter who had to deal with the gravest extreme in my absense, I'd rather have her home alive than have to go through her funeral because she didn't know how to defend herself. I'm not saying she has to be sinister; just that I'd rather she were a survivor.
 
Sweet!

Too cute.

I have to consciously avoid the practical questions that bayonet evokes.

It's clearly meant to be over the top (not to, uh, coin a phrase or anything).

Regarding:
"Gun Control makes only predators safer."
Leave this as is. This is grammatically correct and is the least ambiguous form of the sentence.

Yes, clean up the spacing around the word "for."

Excellent. Fabulous.

The smile reminds me very much of the precocious child in the movie "Matilda" to has to defeat the monster principal of her school, but the writers elected magic rather than arms.

I kinda like this way better.
