    Looks good! Probably should be marked NSFW however.

    Edit::but that is dependent on the mods’ views and intentions. Looking at the sidebar I can interpret it as any posts may be considered nsfw

    This one’s tough. The angle is crazy, and I’m surprised you pulled it off as much as you did. Looking forward to seeing more

    Thankfully this is just art, because that has to be some of the worst trigger discipline I have ever seen. If a real person had taken a photo doing this, I would hope their weapons were confiscated forever, along with their priveleges of ever owning one again. With a finger resting on the trigger like that and where the gun is pointing, if the weapon isn’t cleared, that’s a major accident waiting to happen.

    To anyone reading this: Even if the weapon is cleared, you should always treat a gun as if it is loaded and there is an invisible goes-through-walls obliteration death ray coming out of the barrel. Never point a gun, loaded or not, at anything you don’t intend to immediately and instantly destroy. Especially never point a gun at yourself or another human whether it is loaded or not. Guns are fun to shoot, but they are not toys. Be responsible and safe.

      While you’re right in principle - I think you’re taking the art too seriously, or just didn’t get it.

        Its art, I know it’s not real. I actually think it’s a really well done artwork.

        I’m just really passionate about being safe and responsible around guns. Too many idiots post real life pictures like this online (usually with the weapon loaded like they’re competing for the Darwin Award), and if my comment makes even one person doing that think twice, then it did its job.

        I would rather annoy you with a comment you don’t even need to reply to online and potentially stop someone from being an idiot than see another person or people dead because they were grossly negligent or willfully stupid.

        I used to think that people wouldn’t have to say stuff like this, but I keep seeing stupid idiots taking pictures and videos like this art. So I say it regardless. Maybe nobody listens, but maybe even just one person grows a singular braincell, thinks about this comment, and an early trip to the hospital/morgue is prevented.

        People outside of America can have and use guns. Iraq, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, and Syria have relaxed gun laws and don’t require permits for private citizen gun ownership, and other places like Mongolia allow firearms owned by private citizens with a license.

        I mean, its just art. Its not real to begin with. Nevertheless, I think being safe and responsible around guns is important. Is that a bad thing?
