Shepard Fairey Makes Money off Gun Issue

by: Owen Bay

Shepard Fairey will release a new print titled “God Saves & Satan Invests” (detail above, in full below) for sale on his site, with part of the proceeds from sales going to a group advocating for gun control. “I’m not a big fan of the absurd abundance of guns in the U.S.,” Fairey writes on his blog. “I’m also perplexed by the claim of much of the nation to have ‘Christian values.’ If god tells us to love our neighbor and not to take another human life, where do the assault weapons and piles of ammo fit into these ‘Christian values’?” from artinfo.com

The artist continues to use unoriginal communist propaganda style images in his work to promote what he thinks hip culture will buy.

Shepard Fairey art style should show you how little Americans who buy his work know about the art used in communist propaganda poster.

He also seems to be pondering "Christian Values" while supporting a value that wants you become a victim.

no thanks Shepard Fairey

Shepard Fairey needs to read about the villagers who are fighting back against drug cartels and corrupt police.  Mexican Villagers Fight Back

The villagers are not turning in there guns anytime soon.

  1. So does that Satan investing in assault weapons and high capacity magazines count for the Department of Homeland Security and their recent order for 1.625 billion rounds of rifle and handgun ammo, 2,700 MRAP vehicles, 7,000 “personal defense rifles” (assault rifles for the regular citizenry, and their order of “no hesitation targets”?
  2. God also gave you a brain to think, and eyes to see what is around you. FREEWILL is given to us and men choose bad everyday, I do not want to be on that other end of bad …Twisting truth is all liberals are great at. The LORD our FATHER does not wat you to become a victim either !!!
  3. No one should buy this, regardless of how they feel about gun control. The image is all wrong, combining an AR-15 front site with an AK-47 magazine.Typical of the ignorance and false data that is being passed off as gospel these days.
    By the way Mr.Apple, the “personal defense weapons” that DHS ordered are not the same “assault weapons” they are trying to ban for civilians. Their personal defense weapons are actually real assault rifles, with the capability to bee fully automatic (ie. Machine guns)

    What a friggen douche… He needs to make some ‘art’ of himself licking obamas balls.
  5. To Sven:
    Aren’t all “scary” looking rifles “assault rifles” to the Liberal media and public.

    Who cares? While a nice guy, Shepard isn’t an artist. He’s barely a graphic designer with excellent PR skills. He knows less about constitutional law than my infant son.

    If you stand back a bit, where you can’t quite read the words, it reminds me of a poster from the Soviet Union propaganda.

UN Gun Treaty Does Ban Guns

gun control inside the United States

The text of the anticipated and hotly-contested United Nations Arms Trade Treaty has been leaked, with the treaty itself set to be adopted and signed by member States as early as tomorrow, July 27. President Obama, today joining the chorus for gun control inside the United States in the wake of the Batman massacre, has previously indicated that he would sign the treaty, which would then have to be ratified by the Senate.


according to forbes:

U.N. Agreement Should Have All Gun Owners Up In Arms 

forbes:

 

  1. Enact tougher licensing requirements, creating additional bureaucratic red tape for legal firearms ownership.
  2. Confiscate and destroy all “unauthorized” civilian firearms (exempting those owned by our government of course).
  3. Ban the trade, sale and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons (any that have magazines even though they still operate in the same one trigger pull – one single “bang” manner as revolvers, a simple fact the ant-gun media never seem to grasp).
  4. Create an international gun registry, clearly setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation.
  5. In short, overriding our national sovereignty, and in the process, providing license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights.
Have no doubt that this plan is very real, with strong Obama administration support. In January 2010 the U.S. joined 152 other countries in endorsing a U.N. Arms Treaty Resolution that will establish a 2012 conference to draft a blueprint for enactment. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has pledged to push for Senate ratification.
