support civil rights (poster)

[BenW]

Also, I am looking forward to doing photos where black folks aren't represented s anything but run of the mill Americans, w/o references to slavery or race issues.

I was just thinking about that the other day because of the dustup with the new S&W revolver, which according to HCI is, "...made for bored white guys." Because we all know a black man only wants a nine millimeter that he can shoot sideways.

I think it'd be neat if you did a poster that smashed those particular stereotypes. Maybe a black man with an O/U, a woman with a Hawken, etc. all in the same photo.

Edited for grammar

Oleg, I wish I could air-drop a few thousand of these over St. Louis and Kansas City. (And East LA, NYC, Chicago, etc.).

Print one from the linked hi-res file. Photocopy a few hundred (cheap in volume, color isn't needed for it). Leave a copy wherever you go (bus, magazine rack, waiting room, etc.)

Hey Ben,OLeg,

Me and My friends are available.

It seems that me and a few of my shooting buddies who do not happen to be white,but are Christian,conservative,all over 40,firearms instructors should take a group photo of each of us all holding the new gun,and send it to this bozo with a caption saying:

 

[Safety First]

Nicely done Oleg

It is a real attention grabber,love the aged look for authenticity

That's a poster that sends chills up the spine.

I'm putting it on my screen saver at work. Let's see the gun banners argue with that one.

Thanks, Oleg.

Perhaps I missed it - but where is this link? I'd love to have a hi-res copy.

I like the Remington it would be just the thing to add to my other five Remington revolvers.

Tshirts/etc. are in the works, maybe even in a few days...

Eagerly anticipating!!!

Thanks Oleg.

Oleg...

One thing bothered me about this poster - I finally figured out what it is.

The man in the poster bears (to me, at least) more than a passing resemblance to the comedian, Bill Cosby. Mr. Cosby is, IIRC, anti-gun. Or am I mistaken?

FPrice,
I am so glad somebody else saw that. I thought I was getting groggy flipping through th channels and so damn many Cosby Reruns. Quantrill
