For those interested in revolvers, I might have one of those up by this evening. We will see!

Working right now, but I did peruse the People of the Gun store, and several items there are now on my shopping list!

Might want to look into opening up your own shop :). And, like I said, Hazmat, I can only do so many... I can give you the psp file and you can run with it if you want, but I am not quite that... prolific.

FAL, AK, AR, M14, etc. Maybe even sniper/scoped rifles like the M24/40, Model 700, and SVD. As for an idea of what to put on the back, how about 'Proud Member of the "Triangle of Death" w/logo? Just a thought. I think there should also be evil black rifles offered. FAL, AK, AR, M14, etc. Maybe even sniper/scoped rifles like the M24/40, Model 700, and SVD.

Like I said, I be cheap ;). That said, I do not seem to have received anything from you yet (assuming you have sent it yet). I am planning on using an M1A silhouette for the rifle design, so hopefully it will not be too similar. As for direction... meh? In the case of the pistols, I think it looks a little better to have the "of" to the left of the "the", so I guess this direction works for the moment.

I like the last idea, SailorCurt - keep it short, and keep it simple. I will talk to Mr. Soyer and see what I can do about getting that idea of a "Sponsor's List" implemented on the new People of the Gun webpage, though... Oh, and Mr. Allen - linoge (at) wallsofthecity.net, if you do not mind :). Anything that would qualify as a "typical" revolver/shotgun/rifle/EBR/Glock would do just dandy...

Not only is it a uniquely distinctive visual image, it's also the perfect choice to piss off the antis, especially since it's a Python which they chose for the "knotted barrel" sculpture at the accursed U.N.

I am certainly not one to refuse volunteers ;). The above image took me about 30 minutes to create, but that was just because I was arguing with Paintshop (yes, Paintshop, not Photoshop... I be cheap.) about how to do the silhouette cut-out. What I was actually thinking of is running a variety of the black-and-white ones (1911, revolver, shotgun, rifle, EBR... I guess we could squeeze a Glock in), and then maybe a series where the silhouette of the firearm is like a cut-out with the American flag behind it. Just an idea - the black and white ones alone are going to be a bear (at least for me, that is). Hey, if you want to take the ball and run with it, go right ahead.
