I have never been a fan of guns, although as a kid I had bb-guns. My father had served in the Army and never wanted them around at all. This is a vintage toy Daisy pop gun. I like to shoot black and white and have shapes and textures be the focus. I asked Ruby to throw it over her shoulder, she didn't know how to even hold it. In a sense it is a protest/farcical shot, reinforced by the militaristic title, I am glad it made people think many different thoughts. Thanks for the comments.

Simply Annie. If serious, it's upsetting. But I don't know military commands and such... Nor do I know guns. I'm assuming this was meant to be a farce of sorts. Even then I'm not sure how I feel. 7 anyway.
