Gun control book in children's library; new poster, too

Went to Fargo, ND with two friends, both children's librarians. We stopped by the public library and one of my friends found a 1988 British book on gun control within Children's section. I put a note with my URL into the book but that did not make me feel any better. So I made these two poster variants. Not sure if they are 100% clear but they are aimed at the relatively active gunnies.

Feel free to use either variant of this poster and to distribute them further.

Oleg,
I hope you made a copy of that pic and stuck it in the book on that page!
Keep up the good work.

I must say, that is the most honest photo I have ever seen on the front of gun control book- a faceless government employee pointing his gun at the reader. How ironic.
 
I am tired of joining other orgs. I might not even bother with JPFO and NRA the next time around (then again, I might)...but I am willing to promote them.
 
If it was always checked out, they would probably buy two more copies so more could <cough>benefit</cough>. best thing to do is spill a real sticky substance such as syrup on the cover. :D

"best thing to do is spill a real sticky substance such as syrup on the cover. "
Uh, I could think of another (dog-produced) organic substance to spread on it and it doesn't smell quite as sweet as syrup. ;) Great posters, Oleg.
 
I have a strong urge to donate a copy of Unintended Consequences but I admit to myself that it isn a poorly written book. Oh, for a skilled pro-gun author! Hmmm...maybe I should donate a few copies of "Pallas" by L.Neil Smith...
 
Oleg, I like the "lies" variant better. I know quite a few people who think that Glocks can pas through metal detectors.

Once again Mr Volk proves to the world, a simple incontravertable fact.......

HE'S DA MAN!!!!!!!

"Molon Labe"- Leonidas to Xerxes at Thermopile
 
My mother suggested a more subtle variant as a way to avoid shocking the fence-sitters. "Lies" variant, btw, is popular with a couple of co-workers, too.

We *need* materials for 6-10y.o kids to counter the school agitprop...comix format would work.

I also prefer the "Lies" variant. The only improvement I can think of would be to add a couple of pointer lines of the type you'd see on schematics of the same pistol:
"Hardened steel barrel."
"Hardened steel slide."
"Plastic frame."

I don't know if that would really work, I just wish there was a way to explain how we know it's not true. I have a friend who still refuses to believe that Glocks aren't made of plastic--she doesn't think I'd lie, just that I'm a know-it-all.
 
OK, I updated the "lies" poster, better now, worse?

PS: Just got new of a site and an org starting up at U-Wisconsin-Madison. They wanted to use one of the posters (http://www.dd-b.net/RKBA/s_choose.jpg). Will have them come to TFL, they have some very good articles. Speaking of not ticking off allies...
 
Oleg: great posters...but shouldn't the "Fact poster" have a "actually" statement as well to refute the "false fact"
Just my .02...very nice job!!!
