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 |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
