Great storytelling.   Especially that last image.

Thanks for sharing.

Okay, let's try this again. The NRA's annual convention was held in downtown Dallas, Texas this weekend.  Here are a few shots from the protest rallies held outside of the convention center.  I am currently working on the rest of the photos.


A huge mural of Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the National Rifle Association, greets visitors as they enter the convention.

Thanks, Andrew, for the reply.  Sorry about the confusion on posting the images.

Totally agree.  Looks like it contains various elements to read out.

great series, especially the last pic is dramatic and funny for me
I never can imagine a gunman  and normal people standling like this in an official place
on the other side, seeing his hand in position to get the colt out and the lady opposite to him (from the saloon )
using the "Wanted" App, looks like Western 4.0

I don’t want to start a debate on guns or gun control, but I will tell you that in Texas, anyone licensed for concealed carry of a firearm may also carry openly. One has to pass a criminal background check and have training to get the concealed carry license. I can appreciate that it must seem quite odd to someone accustomed to European levels of gun restrictions to see a non-police officer openly carrying a firearm, but there is really no distinction between those who carry firearms and those who don’t other than that those who do have gone through the steps required to obtain a license.

That has to be the greatest critique anyone could ever receive.  Thank you, my friend.

Great series, and indeed as mentioned, super last one.
