This billboard is obviously causing some controversy and I think it appalling that the pro gun lobby would post this.  In essence is mocks the notion that the Native Americans were taken care of by the United States.  Furthermore it take the picture of a stereotypical Native American dress and uses that instead of taking a picture tat actually shows the poverty that these people live in.  Why not take images from Pine View reservation, oh wait that would only detract from their gun message and take away from the fact that the entire nation has turned its back on a group of citizens.  It should be noted that there author of this sign has decided not to be named.  I would ask the question, did they do this becasue they new the ad was appalling to Native Americans?  I would guess that over the idea that they were worried about their stance on guns.

Its seems strange that too this day we still mock this population, there would be a billboard of African Americans saying "turn in your guns we will take care of you" and depicting slavery.  That is insensitive, so how it this any different?
