That graphic is nothing but a cheap attempt at profiteering from the hype surrounding jones farcical interview.
Fuck workshop. Shits pathetic.
This graphic was made for the 2012 elections. The collabo was done after the fact. Dont conflate the two. Workshops always been into this kind of stuff or did you miss out on the last 20 years of art direction? If it bums you out because it wasnt another "fun" ripoff graphic or a logo board then whatever, just dont buy it.
The moral of the story is that you shouldnt take everything mainstream media says at face value but you shouldn't take everything alternative media like infowars says at face value either. You dont have to agree with everyting they say but the idea of it is cool. Like punk rock or slayer.
In the united states there are about 320,000,000 people living here, upto 80,000,000 of those people own firearms and there are almost 15,000,000 background checks related to gun purchases in 2012 but only 15,000 homicides are committed with guns. Clearly every dude who owns a gun isn't batshit crazy even if you want to believe they are. So you can see why someone would want to defend guns if the majority of owners, 99% of them, are responsible and don't shoot people with them. i think the extra bump in rate we have here is a result of gun access and opportunity.
Theres gang violence and murder that will still happen with or without a gun ban but Im sure there are people in france who wish they could shoot up their entire schools but can't because access is so difficult. Its a mental health issue for sure because that french kid still wants to shoot up his school but reducing access certainly goes a long way to curb bad mistakes and behavior like that.
