Statement

Recently, gun violence has received increased attention in the United States. However, progress on gun reform is still being halted by the amount of power the National Rifle Association (NRA) holds over the country's politicians. I want to bring attention to the NRA's true goal behind their relentless campaign against gun reform, money. Every mass shooting causes a widespread feeling of insecurity, which the NRA abuses for profit by manipulating the public into believing that more guns would solve the problem. The organization stands on the pedestal of blood money, which is what I attempt to reveal with my artwork.
