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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
