Pickett’s sculptures are an attempt to lampoon and take some of the power out of guns — which he fears. His aim is to inspire viewers to think about and discuss issues of gun violence. “I think we need to reevaluate the gun laws in this country. Not everyone gets to have a driver’s license, and not everyone should be able to own a gun,” he said. “People ask me why I make these sculptures if I’m so afraid of guns, and I guess it’s because it is a way to face my fears.” He grew up hearing gunshots every weekend in his neighborhood, and when he was eleven years old, his uncle tried to shoot him. |

Yet another lefty boob who either doesn't understand or willfully rejects the First Principles upon which this nation was founded, and which provide the liberty for him to spout his nonsense.
Ingratitude, much? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
