From a pure visual standpoint, this piece is pretty cool. It has a definite "badass" feeling to it. I'm not sure how much it helps deliver the message that guns are bad though.

I think this would make a great movie poster, actually.

Yeah very cool art direction. A persuasive message is not so evident.

Nice ad. Nice art direction and yes, the message does fall short. I collect illegal guns as a hobby and I would not give up my amazing collection for anything. I find them all over the place its crazy.

Gosh, with only 3 and a half years in prison, I don't think any probono campaign can help the problem! 3.5 years for those who knows they're breaking the law is just like a walk in the park!

this would be good if it came out when the tv programme 'Equalizer' came out.

Strip. Strip. Strip.

It looks like they're saying guns make the city the cool place it is. Makes me wanna go pop a cap.

our constitution states we have the right to bare arms. Not going around and killing people, people kill people not guns.

'...right to bare arms...'

I don't think anyone objects to your right to wear a tee shirt. Unless you have really fat, ugly arms.
