Armed America Photography Project

[radioactivelego]

Interesting photography project being done here. This guy is pretty much going across the country taking photos of any person or family who are armed in any way with firearms.

Fire an e-mail off to him calguns and see if he can sweep on through good ol' RPK!

Very cool..seems to run a whole range of different folks and different backgrounds. Hell..I might strike a pose for this photographer..heck he need's to come down to the PRK and show how many of us got guns

[radioactivelego]

Oh God apparently he came through Los Angeles a month ago and went into the gun stores. Guess what kind of support he got?

He should do a photo essay on crime victoms in California that weren't allowed to arm and defend themselves.

I wonder why gun owners in the PRK would be nervous about having our pictures taken and displayed in public? No idea... none whatsoever.

Hopefully he can hit California after Illinois.

Bashir's dog looks kinda nervous...

When I went to look at this site, I had hoped for something I didn't get. I feel that the majority of the pics he has on his site are doing nothing to sway the "white trash with guns" stereotype.







These are not the photos I want the NRA to use in a campain to sway public opinion about guns.

[HillBilly]

Oh, and this one screams "Hey, can you guys watch our kids while we run to the store?"

I don't think you know what "white trash" means

Agreed, but nice tat.

That website has a lot of pics of Michael Moore's fantasy women, either that or it's pics Feinstein and Boxer's anti-gun promo poster campaign entitled, "reasons why there should be a test for people to own guns"... It does absolutely nothing for gun owners...

And it looks more like, "white trash with guns after church." Love those pics of the family in the Sunday best...

And the tatted chick is nasty. Along with her wanna-be parolee boyfriend standing over his meth-cookin' stove with his throwaway Raven Arms.
