Control This! II

Yesterday, I linked to The War on Guns' effort to get gunbloggers to deluge a "pictures for peace" petition.

Of course, they won't post the pics.

So this morning, I'm going to try a different tack. Subtle irony.

I submitted this photo with the following message:

"You can't hug the children with small arms. Mmmm...children."

and tried again with

"Small arms don't help evil men - their presence in civilian hands deters them. Would you rather only the tyrannical have small arms?"

Needless to say, neither has appeared on the site as of yet. Too obvious? I'll keep trying. Dammit, I just realized I should have said "tyrannous", not tyrannical.

Update

I got this in reply:

Amnesty, IANSA and Oxfam have just launched a global
campaign aiming to stop gun running and control the arms
trade - and they need your support now. Simply go to:
http://www.controlarms.org/million_faces/en/index.php/register?s=1326367



Armed violence wrecks lives by fuelling conflict, poverty,
and human rights abuses. The campaign is calling for an
international Arms Trade Treaty which will make it harder
for arms to get into the wrong hands.

Your support will help us to show that people - like you -
around the world are outraged by arms trade abuses, and
demand tougher arms controls. Act now at:
