Mike Ross of The Edmonton Sun, commenting on "The Gun Sculpture" :
"Frankly, it can give you the creeps - or at least attract creeps who say things like, 'Man, what a waste of good guns.'"
Just so there's no mistake--no compromise or dialog is possible. These people are our enemies. They demonize and disparage us for one purpose--to gain public support for the state to disarm us through coercion and force.
The Los Angeles Times used a similar technique a few years back in an editorial cartoon comparing NRA members to cockroaches.
Those who would rule have mastered the time-proven technique that if you dehumanize a segment of society you wish to eliminate, you can treat them inhumanely without a general outcry.

UPDATE/CORRECTION: The cartoon in question dehumanized "militia" members, not specifically the NRA.

He probably doesn't like NASCAR either, Mr. S :-)
"The piece has not yet been to Texas."
Of course not, we are going to be bringing our welding torches with us to see what we can salvage.
They can call us cockroaches all they want. After the war, we'll still be here--just like the cockroaches!
