I'm shocked.
When seeing the first picture with the kid I thought you were joking. 
Now seeing this one it seems to be serious and this are real people 
caressing their weapons as we do our Leica's. I just hope they don't 
shoot their weapons as often as I do my Leica.
But maybe this will be meant as an society critical range of pictures 
and I'm just missing the point.
Nice pictures though, but what's on it scares me.

Cheers,
