Press Release


Even you people should find this show curated with a very balanced perspective.

"Each picture in Armed America could be a pro-gun advertisement -- or an anti-gun poster.
That's what makes the book so riveting." -- Alan Cooperman -- The Washington Post

From the release:
The fight to uphold the right to bear arms, and the struggle to end the violence associated with guns seem to compete against each other. The statistics are instructive. Half of American households have at least one gun owner according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Everyday, on average, 83 Americans - nine of whom are children - are killed by guns. Injuries and deaths related to guns cost $34 billion a year in medical expenses and lost productivity.

Lambertson's picture would have been a lot more interesting right after the (two?!?!) shots rang out simultaneously.

I know this is hard to arrange, but a good photographer always arranges to bring along plenty of film. And subjects.

I also like the guy with the grenade launcher on the coffeetable.

I get so pissed off when the kids leave theor toys lying around the house that I holler and raise hell about it. Unless they're heavily armed. Then we're all quite civil, indeed.

Grenade launchers aren't accurate, either. Typically, accuracy and precision is what one is, ah, shooting for. Cluster-bombing is so 20th century.

Pepe, I bet he shot the owners in a shitty way, like the wag that shot Grinchelle.
